Written for web developers and users with a basic understanding of the Flash interface who want to create code-free video applications that are the same quality as DVD, this guide to Flash CS3 Video contains exercises and creative projects that range from simple to complex. Green (interactive multimedia, Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, Toronto) and Thomas (rich media and web development, Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, Toronto) explain how to create and play Flash video, edit videos, use alternative FLV-creation tools, create custom players, add filters and mask videos. They offer tutorials on more advanced streaming applications such as special effects, cue points and captions and playing with multiple videos.
