Take your Flash projects to the next level by moving beyond tweens and the timeline with an understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) with Flash's powerful ActionScript language!

- Controlling movie clips and timelines with ActionScript
- Loading and communicating with external graphics and video
- Building Preloaders
- Dynamic text and arrays
- Mouse and keyboard detection
- Trace statements

- Incorporating content from external XML and text files

Additionally we will discuss integrating Flash elements into websites and things to consider if you are going to use Flash as a front-end interface for database driven content.
