If you haven’t yet signed up for our Active Premium program, today we have a tutorial that will definitely convince you to! Christopher Caleb brilliantly walks through Flash IDE design and timeline animation with AS3 class coding to develop a fun, old school music player. Read on to find out more!
This Premium Tutorial is Packed With Time-saving and Creative Techniques
We’re going to embrace both ActionScript 3 and Flash’s design tools to create a retro cassette music player. This tutorial will take you through a variety of topics including music streaming, timeline animation, custom movie clip classes and event handling.
Most ActionScript programmers avoid the timeline like the plague, opting to write hundreds of lines of code to perform a task that could have been achieved in seconds using the drawing and animation tools provided by the Flash IDE.
This tutorial will show you how to get the best from both worlds as you build a simple but fun retro music player. It’ll encourage you to take advantage of the timeline where appropriate, allowing you to focus on the ActionScript that really matters.
