Neale-Wade Flash

This section provides detailed tutorials and example files to help you develop your Flash authoring skills. If you have never used Flash before, you may wish to use the 'introduction to Flash' pages. Within five minutes, you'll be able to begin experimenting with the tutorials below.

The source files and online tutorials can be viewed using the links below. As you have hopefully become aware, this training is not about someone lecturing you on theoretical possibilities - instead it is designed to give you practical examples that teacher and students can use use to support effective learning using ICT.

You need the free Flash Player 8 or better to view the finished examples

You need the Flash 8 authoring tool (or better) to work through these tutorials and build your own versions.

At the moment just the source files (including full commentary in the script) are available.
I will upload tutorials to guide you through the work as soon as possible.

Please post in the forums if you need any immediate assistance.

You can also view Flash MX 2004 (Flash 7) versions of these source files.
They are cut down versions of the files below which take advantage of Flash 8 features.
