How This Book Is Organized
Flash is a versatile authoring tool and consists of a number of separate areas that usually need to be combined to produce the finished effect or piece, so don't take the chapter titles and synopses as anything other than broad headings. For example, many chapters contain some element of animation, and most hacks contain ActionScript because it lets you do some really cool things. Regardless, we have straitjacketed the 100 hacks into something resembling sensible groupings. So there are chapters on drawing, sound, optimization, and a whole lot more.
Chapter 1, Visual Effects
This chapter looks at ways you can make your graphic content more interesting by adding various snazzy effects and transitions.
Chapter 2, Color Effects
The savvy designer uses color in addition to animation. Color is often overlooked, but this chapter shows how color changes can transform the atmosphere of a piece or add video-like effects, such as fades and wipes.
Chapter 3, Drawing and Masking
Combining Flash's graphic animation facilities with ActionScript increases your creative horizons considerably. This chapter shows graphic effects created at both authoring time and runtime. Masking, which underlies many of the graphics tricks and techniques, is also discussed.
Chapter 4, Animation
The hacks in this chapter offer content creation shortcuts for manually drawn animation, plus ways to optimize animation created under ActionScript control.
Chapter 5, 3D and Physics
This chapter provides a number of hacks that bypass Flash's performance limitations to add physics simulations and 3D effects to your repertoire.
Chapter 6, Text
This chapter covers ways to store, display, and manipulate text, as well as create animated text effects.
Chapter 7, Sound
Without sound, your carefully crafted content will feel flat and uninspired. This chapter helps the audio-challenged create and manipulate sound effects and music.
Chapter 8, User Interface Elements
This chapter covers hacks related to user interface issues, such as buttons, scrollbars, and mouse input.
Chapter 9, Performance and Optimization
This chapter includes hacks to keep your filesizes small and your applications speedy.
Chapter 10, ActionScript
