Features: In my opinion, a good book should solve some specific problems to a certain extent. But looking around at the books available, especially those on computer topics, most are "all-encompassing" works. Taking Flash books as an example, there are simply countless of them. The ones I've seen are mostly tutorial-style, and they share a common feature: they start with "What's New," then explain menu commands and tool functions one by one. Next, they touch on animation, ActionScript, and even basic shot composition techniques—perhaps because Flash is just so feature-rich! At the end, they provide a few simple examples. In terms of writing style, most books are serious and formal, with few being lively and engaging. Some go so far as to simply translate the help documentation. Such books might be suitable for beginners, but they may not be as appropriate for those who already have a certain foundation in Flash and want to improve in a specific area.
This book is not about how to use the Flash software. Instead, it systematically analyzes and explains traditional animation, revealing the fundamental techniques and principles of this independent and highly regulated art form in the creative process. Through concrete and vivid examples, it demonstrates to readers how to apply these techniques and principles to the creation of Flash animations, helping them produce better Flash animations. This book is suitable for readers who have mastered the basic operations of Flash and wish to further improve their skills in Flash animation production.
