Flash is everywhere on the Web. If you've gone online today, chances are you've watched a video or interacted with content built with Flash. As a tool for telling stories online, Flash is the most powerful platform around.
It's also one of the most complicated. The learning curve can be steep, especially if you approach Flash from a non-programming background.
With lots of screenshots and examples, we'll introduce you to the core concepts that make Flash tick and demystify the Web's best software for building interactivity and broadcasting video. (And we promise not to use 'geek-speak').
If you registered in the live version of this Webinar, originally broadcast July 23, 2009, you are already enrolled in this replay edition and don't need to pay again.
