ActionScript 3.0 Training

ActionscriptAdobe ActionScript is the programming language of the Adobe Flash Platform, originally developed as a way for developers to program interactivity.

ActionScript enables efficient programming of Adobe Flash Platform applications for everything from simple animations to complex, data-rich, interactive application interfaces.

Today, if you're a Flash developer, one thing is certain: Animation skills, no matter how phenomenal, are no longer enough. A firm grasp of ActionScript is essential because without it, only the most elementary interactivity is possible.

to fall for these courses!

Because...
Dreamweaver allows you to design and develop full-blown websites using XHTML, CSS, Javascript and more. Fireworks is a fantastic website prototyping and fast iterative user testing tool.

Or, thinking outside the box..

Because...
These tools will expand your animation possibilities. Both also support actionscript-like languages, so you can continue to animate programatically.
