Try It; You’ll Like It

Perhaps by now you’re getting impatient to try out Flash. Getting started is

easy. You collect a few ideas, put together some art, add animation, save your

movie, and publish it. Then you view it in a browser either online or offline.

That’s the gratifying part. In the following sections, you get to try out Flash

by working through a basic animation. The rest of the book explains these

concepts in more detail.

Conceiving your first animation

Suppose that you want to add an animated logo to

a home page that you’ve already set up. You want

the animation to run when the page loads and then

stop. Figure 1-8 shows the Rainbow Resources

company logo — unanimated, of course — that

Suppose that you want the word

Rainbow

to fly into

your page from the right and the word

Resources

graphic to rotate 180 degrees. The following section
