| This example of a Flash banner could be used in a health or excercise theme. Developed from photographs, a still shot of a girl on a treadmill was used.

| This Flash application was developed for a company offering Child Therapy Services. The target market was Concerned Parents. The challenge was to display a lot of information so a parent could quickly decide if these services might apply to them. Two scenes were created, The first scene sets to tone with a "happy" opening look followed by diagnostic content. Scene one "happy": What is better than smiling children. Slide in pictures used here. Scene two "diagnostic": In order not to overwhelm user with large content, categories and related symtoms were grouped. Each group displayed individually allowing user sufficient time to read symtoms before displaying the next group. |

Over the years I have accumulated over 400 hours of online training.  My most recent course completions can be viewed here. |

| Another resource is "Adobe Flash CS4 Professional Classroom in a Book". It is well organized, has pre-defined hands-on exercises and takes about 35 hours to complete. However, if you're a beginner, I suggest learning basic JavaScript as a prerequisite. Click on book to see my review on Amazon.com. |
