Flash progress

For my self study through out the weeks of learning Flash I have done a number of tutorials by using books and the internet. I have done a range of different tutorials so that I’m able to produce my final product which is a website using Flash elements. I have found most of the tutorials helpful as different sites have their tutorials set out in different ways such as text and video tutorials which helped making learning Flash easier as the tutorials were easier to follow. I wrote a list of what I would need to learn to produce my website and then found different tutorials that would help me learn what I needed to know. I have learnt many different techniques such as buttons, image galleries and slide shows. Some of which were easy to learn and others which I needed more practice at.

I feel that I have progressed well with teaching myself how to use Flash, at first I found it hard to use the software as I didn’t know where all the tools were but after reading books on the software I learnt where all the different tools were so that I was able to do the tutorials. I then started with basic tutorials so that I was able to learn how to use the timeline and other tools so that I was able to create different animations. I have found learning Flash enjoyable but also at the same time it has been hard teaching myself how to use new software. I feel that by using these tutorials I’m able to create a simple website in Flash to incorporate different Flash elements in to my website.
