Getting Creative with Filters, Masks, and Animation

  • Chapter
Flash 8 Essentials

Summary

This chapter has introduced just a small sampling of the effects that are now possible with Flash 8 and a bit of creativity, both through the enhancements in the IDE as well as ActionScript. Spend some time exploring and getting to know the new filters, blend modes, animation tools, and bitmap manipulation capabilities in ActionScript, and you’ll have toys to entertain you for a good long while. Then with your toy box filled, you’ll have an arsenal of useful effects to apply to your real-world work whenever you may need it.
