Flash Tutorials

I have been looking through both 'Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a book' and 'ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a book' I have found both books really interesting especially the actionScript one which has so many tutorials on how to use actionScript effectively.

Andy Foulds

Andy Foulds has a really interesting experimental web page which I have enjoyed looking at. It has an amusements section which features all of his sometimes humourous examples of work. A recommend you have a look at some of his work.

Jop Wielens

Another site linked by the module website is this one by Jop Wielens. Which has some interesting ways of interacting with a flash file using the webcam and microphone would be intersting to try some of this out myself.

Examples

As a starting point to learning actionScript I have been looking at other websites and other designers work. I came across this website from the links on the Module webpage which I think is brilliant. It shows the way in which playing with action script can help you learn and this website called play-create.com has some excellent examples I particuarly like the 'Dress me up in 360' app which is very cleverly done.

Module Guide

Here is a link to the associated web page for this module created by my module leader and lecturer Andrew Richardson (no relation). It provides a very useful starting point with lots of links and information. It also outlines the purpose of this module a lot clearer than I do and has the full module guide for you to view at your leisure.

Lets Begin

Welcome to my blog. This Blog has been created for my DMG 223 Module on my Design Multimedia and Graphics BA (hons) degree at Sunderland University. This Blog is all about playing and learning actionScript for flash through the freedom and expression of play, and I am going to be sharing all of this with you right here, all the heart ache and pain along with the good times too. So sit back and relax and come play yourself with some of the experiments I am hopefully going to succeed in creating.
