Build your first Website with Flash MX

This book will show someone who's never used Flash before (and quite possibly never put anything onto the Web) how to build and deploy a complete Flash web site. The book will be practical from start to finish: from the first tweens (simple animations), to adding sound and video, to getting an FTP client working and uploading files to a server. Readers can expect concrete results and a real sense of achievement at every stage. By following the book's tutorials, a complete novice can not only produce their own Flash site, but also learn a host of valuable practical skills.
This book is for people who like to familiarise themselves with a piece of software by getting stuck in, building something, then playing with it. Go through the chapters, follow the examples and build a fully-functioning website. Then use the knowledge gained here to develop your own spell-binding Flash website.
Contains a fully-functioning 30 day trial version of Macromedia Flash on CD
