In this video series, Craig will teach you the basics of using Flash CS4 to create entire websites that contain animations, sound, video, and much more.
Detailed Video Descriptions:

05 – Animated Page Transitions (Running Time: 17:25)
Instead of simply jumping from page to page when we click on our navigation buttons, it would be nice if we could create some kind of animated transition between pages. In this video, Craig will show you how.
06 – One-Frame Website (Running Time: 8:09)
In this video, we’ll take everything we’ve learned so far and compress it down so that our entire website takes up only one frame in the main timeline.

In this lesson, Craig will demonstrate how to build all the graphical elements of the contact form.
25 – Making the Contact Page Work (Running Time: 13:33)
In this lesson, Craig will add code to make the contact page appear and disappear when appropriate.
26 – Contact Form PHP (Running Time: 13:50) – Now that the contact page is functioning properly, Craig gets started with the contact form itself. In this video, Craig creates the PHP file that will communicate with our ActionScript in order to send out an email.
27 – Coding the Contact Form (Running Time: 21:54)
In this video, Craig enters in the ActionScript code needed in order to communicate with the PHP file and send the email.
28 – Creating the Media Menu (Running Time: 14:33)
In this video, Craig illustrates how to create a popup menu for the media section of the project website.
29 – Creating a Simple Slideshow (Running Time: 11:33)
In this video, we’re going to jump into a new Flash file and build a simple photo gallery for our website.
30 – Importing Video (Running Time: 3:07)
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to attach an external video to your Flash website.
31 – Loading External SWF Files (Running Time: 16:34)
Now that our photo gallery and video pages are finished, we’re going to learn how to import the photo gallery’s swf file into the main swf file of our website.
32 – Loading the Video File (Running Time: 5:16)
In this video, we take the techniques that we learned in the last video and use them to import the swf file that contains our video.
33 – Preloading External Files (Running Time: 7:42)
For people with a slow internet connection, it may take a while for the images in the slideshow to load, so in this video, we’ll learn how to create a loading bar that will let the user know how much of the file has been loaded.
34 – Coding the Preloader (Running Time: 14:12)
With the graphics in place, Craig will now demonstrate how to code the preloader so that it will load the external SWF files.
35 – Preloading Your Website (Running Time: 13:01)
Now that we know how to build a preloader, we’re going to open up a new Flash file and create a preloader for our entire website.
36 – Final Touches (Running Time: 10:59)
