ABSTRACT

Adobe Flash is a widely compatible, versatile multimedia format for delivering animated graphics, interactive content, digital video and sound over the Internet. Many commercial websites, news organizations and educational websites use Flash extensively to deliver multimedia content. It is also an ideal format for online multimedia educational presentations incorporating slides, graphics, images, narration and video. Flash movies can be used to display image animations and video clips such as a stacked sequence of radiographic images, cine clips of moving structures or a sequence of 3-D images. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the basics of creating Flash movies using Adobe Flash Professional. The attendee will learn how to create short Flash video clips of radiographic image sets and how to create multimedia educational presentations suitable for web distribution in the Flash format. The use of Adobe Captivate for converting existing PowerPoint presentations into Flash format will also be demonstrated. No prior experience with Adobe Flash Professional is necessary as this course is designed as an introduction to the Flash development environment.
