Some Flash & Other Resources
For those needing and/or wanting some more help with the basics of Flash, I have put together a list of possible recommended resources that can be accessed in various ways.
For those of you who like video tutorials: Adobe has a free, but limited "Video Workshop" - this link will take you to a video that covers the basics of creating a very simple, interactive file. If you close the video window and look to the bottom right, you can download the sample Flash files used in the video. (By clicking Play Video, you'll restart the video, but you can also browse from the other available tutorials in the middle panel, under "Title". All the video titles with the Flash logo under "Product" are for Flash)
For folks who prefer textual tutorials, I've reserved an online book about Flash registered with O'Reilly that you can access for just under $20 for 60 days. Start with Chapter 28.
For those of you who like paper books, you can always order a book like this one (good for people who like reference, non-linear help - under $20), or this one (better for those who like linear tutorials, just over $30) from Amazon.
We'll have a little time on Monday to check in, but I am coordinating a screening of a film (Strange Culture) at 5:30 in KAM, so we will only have an hour or so. So make sure to have any specific questions ready to go.

Hey, we have access to Safari through the University. It is O'Reilly's online book service. So you don't have to pay anything if you find that through the library website!
Hi Jesse,
From what I can tell, the Safari subscription for our library has run out, and only previews of content are now accessible. I could be wrong, but I tried to use this before making this initial post (as I had in the past), but could not get more than a preview of each page, which is insufficient in content.
If you get more than a preview, definitely let me know.
