Flash for the Real World
This book will have case studies directed to intermediate, advanced and professional Flash developers. It is assumed that all readers are familiar with Flash and how to use its tool sets. The advanced case study will mention additional web technologies such as ASP, JavaScript and SQL Server but these technologies will not necessarily need to be fully understood by the reader. The other technologies that are used in the book will not be explained in tutorial manner, instead they are mentioned in order to show how they were used to supplement and extend the capabilities of Flash. The goal of the case studies is not to provide copy and paste code or timelines but to reveal the process to the reader so they can elevate their projects to the same. Steve Street has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and has been working in the creative industry for 13 years and in the interactive arts for 8 years.
