In Animation Tips and Tricks with Flash Professional author
Dermot O' Connor introduces a variety of real-world issues
that animators commonly encounter and practical solutions to
them in Flash. The course covers how to apply gradients to
create subtle texture and light characters, reducing the flat
look of most cartoons; how to simulate natural phenomenon such
as wind, fire, and clouds; how to mimic 3D space; and how to
add fades and transitions to create custom cuts between scenes.
The course also includes a look at staggers, which can be used
to create camera shake, tremor effects, and extreme character
reactions. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:

* Overlapping and animating colors
* Creating lens flares
* Animating hair with shape tweens
* Animating an explosion
* Animating smoke with particles
* Animating a scream
