Flash 8 Application Development

In this series of tutorials, you'll learn how to use the most important features of ActionScript 2.0 to create a working
XML-based online application. Starting with a fla containing layout guides, we'll go step by step through the process of
thinking about and putting together the application. Among the topics covered are: how to program a group of navigation
buttons to work together, how to create class-based code to separate the application into separate self-contained modules,
how to deal with asynchronous events like reading XML files and loading images from a web server, how to communicate
between classes using Flash's built-in event dispatching model, and finally how to publish and create the files necessary to
gather information from a site visitor and pass it to the Flash application. To learn more about the Flash 8 Application
Development course, check out the course outline and sample videos.
