New Masters of Flash is both a global showcase and practical tutorial.
Nineteen of the planet's most awe-inspiring Flash designers share their
influences, ideas and objectives in individual introductory essays. They
then take the reader through a step-by-step tutorial explaining in
detail how to create in Flash 5 the interfaces, applications and effects
that they have made famous. The author-designers are some of the most
legendary Flash innovators currently working--from the U.S. to Japan,
Europe to South Africa: Yugo Nakamura, Joshua Davis, Manuel
Clement, Irene Chan and Tomato Interactive's Joel Baumann,
together with 14 other leading Flash practitioners. These are the
designers who are expanding the horizons of interactive interface design
with Flash. Join them!
With the book is a CD-ROM containing animated movie versions of the
tutorials from the book, together with the finished interactive effects.
If you're in a real hurry, you can download the source-code FLAs for
many of the tutorials, in both Flash 5 and Flash 4 versions, from the
CD-ROM New Masters folder. Also on the CD-ROM are video QuickTime
interviews with the designers from the book.
