Flash Level 2 Actionscripting
Flash Actionscript training course is for Adobe Flash designers who have some experience with Adobe Flash design and would like to learn basic and intermediate Adobe Actionscript. This Adobe Actionscript training corse provides class room training for experienced Adobe Flash designers with the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to create dynamically generated event-driven animation and interactive games with Adobe Flash . The training course teaches fundamental programming techniques. It begins by introducing core concepts including instance names, variables, functions, properties, and methods; then proceeds through conditions, loops, event handling, and animating with Adobe ActionScript.
What you will learn:
With this training course, you can use Flash, the industry's most advanced authoring environment to create interactive websites, digital experiences and mobile content.
Certification:
Whilst there is no certification attached to this course our tutor is a certified Adobe Trainer.
