The intermediate class takes off where the introduction stopped and gets much deeper into flash. It covers content that goes beyond the scope of an introductory level class and that couldn't be covered in depth until now. More advanced concepts appear and open a world of web design possibilities in no time. Lectures, assignments and exercises are all present to ensure a great learning experience for everyone!
Outline
Week 1: Advanced Buttons and Sounds
Week 2: Dot Syntax and Working with Video
Week 3: Drop-Down Menus and Controlling Multiple Timelines
Week 4: Dragging the Movie Clip and Loading Movies
Week 5: Creating Programmatic Movement and Interactivity
Week 6: Advanced Publish Settings and other Goodies
Prerequisites
Completion of the Introductory flash course (A231). Those with sufficient previous flash experience can attend as well, but material covered in the introduction class will be taken for granted and will not be discussed. You also need to have some web storage somewhere on the internet. If you don't have any, there are many free sites available and will be recommended in class. Basic understanding of html, such as how to link to your files, is helpful as well.

"This was a fabulous class! Everything I expected and more... " - Debra Harp
"I like the Flash courses because they have taught me the proper way of making a Flash movie - not just my sloppy, seat of the pants operation. The exercises are constructed to show some of the basic operations that are used as the foundation for professional authorship and allow the student to to have a solid base to continue working with the medium. In other words, I like that the exercises have a strong connection to tasks that we would do at work. " - Matthew Redekop
"Again, Damien and Stephane are excellent! With each new subject comes a whirlwind of ideas on how I can incorporate Flash content into my own work for my department." - Nora Ebie
"The course was pitched just right, laying down good foundations. The instructors have such a wealth of knowledge you can feel the weight of it pushing through your screen...
Really GOOD !" - Martin Varallo
"This is the 2nd flash class that I have enjoyed here at e-classes. There is a lot of material to cover and the book does a wonderful job of covering complex material. Any course covering this material would be challenging, but I'm here to learn and I would not be impressed with the course if if I wasn't challenged. When the book is ambiguous, the instructor makes things quite clear and points out important things in flash that might not be obvious at first glance. Wonderful class!" - John Saxon
