How to learn Macromedia Flash

If you are a beginner. Before learning Flash, first set yourself a bit. Determine whether you are an art or programming control aspect. As the saying goes, interlacing as Foster, learn their own line of the bank. Next, you have to choose the same software. is Macromedia Flash, or Adobe livemotion. The former and Dreamweaver, fireworks perfect combination, but also the application of the earliest, most people use the production of Flash software. The advantage of the latter is that it is also easy to use if you are skilled in Adobe Photoshop. Take Macromedia Flash 5 For example, talk about learning experience it. Before you learn a software, you are finally familiar with its tools, panels, and menus. Macromedia Flash 5 Interface and Dreamweaver 4, Fireworks 4 interface is very unified, three are known as the "Three Musketeers", is the web design made three swords. A web designer, skilled in the use of these three software, is enough. Macromedia Flash is actually a collection of some vector drawing software and animation editing software functions. Macromedia Flash can import bitmap images, which you can take care of in Photoshop or fireworks first. Macromedia Flash can also be imported into the AI format vector map, if you think the flash drawing tools are not powerful enough, you can use the Coreldrawl software to draw, and then output into the AI format, and then import flash, the result or vector format, of course, If it is a simpler graphic, I would suggest that you draw directly in Flash. There is also a way, you can first import a bitmap, and then converted to vector graphics, because the Macromedia Flash has to convert bitmaps to vector graphics commands, but if it is too complex bitmap, it is recommended not to convert, because it will be seriously distorted, and the size of the file may not be much less. Usually, when you actually do animation, you use a pressure-feeling pen. Without the pressure of the pen, you can use other software to play a good manuscript, in Macromedia Flash dots. When you are proficient, you can draw whatever you want. Just like stage acting, the symbol of Macromedia Flash is an actor, and the movement of each symbol is the plot. So before the play starts, plan the plot and prepare the actors. In order to make the play more attractive, we have to use stage music. So, when you start flash production, you begin by thinking about the entire animation process, when you're the equivalent of a playwright. Next, you are a musician, you put WAV or MP3 format music into the Macromedia Flash, and then analyze its rhythm, do animation, it is necessary to match the rhythm of movement. Then, you are the director and producer, you have to grasp the Bureau, which symbol to move, which symbol when to move, how long to move and so on, you have to consider. In the process of making, you should constantly test the effect. A really good flash work should be done by a team. It's like a movie can't be filmed by one person. Members of this team have their own strengths, some are good at music, some are good at hand-painted, some are good at programming, and some are good at making, the work of the Planner is equivalent to the Director, control the entire production process. The production of the game, mainly in programming. Macromedia Flash 5 Action function is still relatively strong, learned C language, etc., very easy to start. When programming, the most important thing is not code writing, but the whole process control. First of all to analyze the function of the game, and then to consider the implementation of the algorithm, the last is the code save write. In the flash production process, there are some problems that must be considered. First, the symbols that can be reused are reused. For example, if you want to make several small balls of different sizes and colors, you can just make a small ball symbol and then copy multiple copies, changing their size and color respectively. In this way, it is very important to save the volume of files and facilitate the transmission of the Internet, and also the notable advantages of Flash. Using a figurative analogy: for example, "Shaolin Football" film football match scene, only to use 2000 of the masses of actors, but created tens of thousands of people watch the scene, this is the role of the split, save a lot of costs. Second, when needed, please add loading animation. Loading's role is to determine the animation download to a certain extent before starting to play the animation, to ensure the smooth animation. In fact, do not need to download all the settings to play, you can set the download of 50% when the play, because the flash is streaming, you play at the same time, the other 50% also download. Third, if there is a larger color block in the animation, it is best to group it. Because the vector is calculated by the formula, color block is composed of a little, not group, it will be countless formulas, increase the volume of the file. Learn Macromedia Flash 5, you must be familiar with the application of the panel. These panels have almost all the features of the Tools menu, and most of the operations are easy to implement with these panels. When you use more software, you will find that all the software is similar to the common, nothing more than the combination of tools, menus, panels. Macromedia Flash 5 is only a software, you in the process of using, will find their own set of learning experience, I said above, only for reference. I want to add that the software is just a software, in the process of learning, do not give it to tie, which software is appropriate to use that. And more importantly, to learn how to work together, we should pay attention to the development trend of software. When one day you can clearly say Macromedia Flash 5, you have a good grasp of Macromedia Flash 5.
