About this course

Course objectives

This Flash CS4 Professional: New Animation Techniques series guides you through the new 3D properties, which will let you control your objects in full 3D space in both the timeline and using ActionScript 3. Plus, learn how to use the new Inverse Kinematics (IK) animation tools for both MovieClips and Shapes. As you’ll learn, the enhanced Motion Tween will change the way you work in Flash forever. It’s much easier to work with and more powerful, plus it includes the new Motion Editor Panel.
