On the most simplistic level, Flash allows people to move objects around on the screen. The Flash Animator teaches even the inartistic novice how to do this in a convincing manner, while also showing the experienced animator how to utilize Flash effectively and efficiently. The range of topics covered varies from simple ball bounces to complex character design, sound, and optimization issues. Unlike a traditional animation book, this book illustrates both the concept of the animation and explains point-by-point its optimal use in Flash.
