In this tutorial you'll learn how to apply blending modes and filters to Movie clip symbols for some interesting effects.

Layers Into Flash With PSD2FLA
Generally low-wage labor is either easy but boring or difficult but fun. If you are doing something that's both easy and fun you're probably paying for the privilege. If you are doing something that's both boring and difficult you're probably moving layers from Photoshop to Flash.

Adobe Site — Flash 8 Tutorials

Adobe Site — Flash 8 TutorialsOn the Flash Developer Center page you'll find an assortment of good tutorials, including the following:

What's New in Flash Professional 8 - Intro
Expressiveness, video workflow, Script Assist, and more — Flash product manager Mike Downey guides you through the new features.

"I haven't been this excited about a new release of Flash since Flash 4." Those were the words of Grant Skinner, a longtime Flash developer who is among the best in the world. Grant told me this after I ran into him in front of our San Francisco office. He had been part of a small group of people advising Macromedia on very early builds of Flash Professional 8, codenamed "8ball," and Flash Player 8, codenamed "Maelstrom."Dreamweaver 8 Basics
Fireworks 8 Basics
Contribute 3 and FlashPaper 2 Basics
Macromedia Studio 8 offers an integrated workspace that allows for seamless transition between each product: Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Contribute, and FlashPaper. You will find that panels, menus, selection icons, and other user interface elements are similar across products and are easy to use. The consistent and familiar workspace helps you increase productivity while decreasing the amount of time you need to spend learning a new product.To get the most out of your Flash experience, you should understand the basic elements of the Flash workspace. This article gives you an overview of Flash files and introduces you to the most important and commonly used workspace elements, including the Stage, Property inspector, and Tools panel.

When one of your top users tells you something like that, you know your team is on track to do something wonderful. This is the type of feedback that my team and I have been receiving for nearly a year now as we've worked very hard to complete and ship the next generation of Flash.
What's New in Flash Professional 8

What's New in Flash Professional 8 - 3 Tutorials
Macromedia Flash can seem like a very complex program to learn. One reason for this seeming complexity is that you can use it for so many different things, such as cartoon animations, media players, and sophisticated software. This tutorial is suitable for you if you're opening Flash for the first time. It shows you some of the fundamental aspects of the program and how to get started using them to build a real project. You don't need to know anything about Flash or animation to complete this tutorial; in fact, you'll discover how easy it is to start using Flash to add elements to your web pages.
Part 1: Building a Banner

Welcome to Part 2 of this three-part introduction to Macromedia Flash. You survived Part 1 of this tutorial, where you created, set up, and imported content into a FLA file. Because you're reading Part 2, you're probably ready to learn more about Flash. That's good because more fun ensues in this part — you will create symbols, animation, and even write some simple ActionScript to make the banner function.
Part 2: Adding Symbols, Animation, and ActionScript

This is Part 3 of a three-part article on how to build a simple animated banner in Macromedia Flash and add it to a web page using Macromedia Dreamweaver. In this final part, you learn about file size, banner standards, how to set publish settings, how to add the banner to a Dreamweaver web page, and how to add Flash Player detection.
Part 3: Publishing and Adding the Flash File to a Web Page

Flash 8 Basics
This article is based on content from Exploring Studio 8, which gives an overview of Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Contribute, and FlashPaper; introduces conceptual information about web application development; and shows you how to build a simple but functional website through a series of tutorials.

To get the most out of your Flash experience, you should understand the basic elements of the Flash workspace. This article gives you an overview of Flash files and introduces you to the most important and commonly used workspace elements, including the Stage, Property inspector, and Tools panel.
Flash 8 Basics

Flash Graphic Effects Learning Guide
Macromedia Flash 8 introduces a number of new features for producing new types of graphic effects. These new effects will change the look of much of the Flash creative work you will see because they really open up many new design possibilities for Flash projects.

Along with some of the new drawing features and video capabilities, these new graphic effects make up a category of tools promoting expressiveness — the ability to enhance the look and feel of your project. Many of these expressiveness features — in particular, the new drawing-related features — are available in both Flash Basic and Flash Professional. However, some of the new, specialized effects features are only available in the Flash Professional 8 user interface — or in both Flash Basic 8 and Flash Professional 8 when you use ActionScript code.

Using Matrices for Transformations, Color Adjustments, and Convolution Effects in Flash
For most Flash developers, the word "matrix" evokes images of red and blue pills, computer-generated worlds, and Keanu Reeves in black leather pants. Let's try to remove ourselves from that definition — and the mental images associated with it — and answer the following question from a Flash perspective: What is the matrix, and what in the world does it have to do with Flash?

If you have a computer science degree or some type of formal programming education, the concept of matrices is likely old hat to you. However, if your education is of a somewhat less formal nature, you may feel intimidated by the whole idea. The goal of this article is to introduce you to the concept of matrices and then apply that knowledge directly to the world of Flash. Along the way, I'll provide examples of how the different matrix types can be useful to beginner and advanced Flash developers alike.

Did You Know You Could Create An Entire Website In Photoshop?
SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites Instantly


SiteGrinder Photoshop Plugin - Create Websites InstantlyThere often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. Creative professionals tend to stick to the Photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. Indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.

Essentially, Photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. On the other hand, HTML, CSS, Java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.

Turn Photoshop Into A Complete Web Design Tool
SiteGrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. Basically, SiteGrinder turns Photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. With SiteGrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. Bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, SiteGrinder is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks. Mac OS X and Windows versions of the SiteGrinder unlockable demo are available now via download.
