In this accessible training DVD, Flash experts Mark Rogers and Allie Crawford cover the essential tools of Flash’s huge toolset, including filters, music and masks. You’ll work through the step-by-step construction of a professional-looking web banner, making the learning process as interactive as the program itself.
