This website will provide introductory lessons on using Flash MX 2004.  It is not intended to make you into an "expert".  Flash is a program that helps you produce computer animations.  According to Macromedia, the developers of Flash, millions of people have Flash Player installed on their computers.

While it is possible to build an entire website in Flash, in this introduction we will be looking at the following topics.  After going through the lessons, you will choose a project to demonstrate what you have learned.  Links to sample projects by previous students are provided below.
