Effective Web Animation: Advanced Techniques for the Web |
| Although you can find animations all over the Web, there's still no easy way to learn how to create them yourself. Enter Effective Web Animation. Written by a Web expert with several graphics books to his credit, it's full of information on the most widespread animations, those created as GIFs or with JavaScript and Macromedia Flash. Newcomers are introduced to both traditional and new animation methods--from object-oriented to streaming animations. The book begins with a review of the best animation tools and then delves into the specifics of creating and optimizing GIF animations, manipulating color and timing, and integrating your creations into your Web page. Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady--the techniques of Flash's streaming-playback and object-oriented features--get attention too, showing you how to work with both keyframe and tweening techniques for greater interactivity. Good writing and careful attention to detail combined with an attractive four-color layout make this book an especially useful learning resource. But be aware that the book's plentitude of scripting and other technical details make it a smart choice only for committed animators who aren't afraid of using the new technologies to bring their pages up to the best standards of the Web. --Kathleen Caster

ActionScripting in Flash |
| Most instructional books try to appeal to too large an audience, but ActionScripting in Flash clearly defines who it is written for and then actually delivers the goods. Author Kerman singles out two specific groups: Flash 5 users who have gotten their feet wet with animations but want to branch out with scripting, and programmers who want to apply their skills to Flash. He has devised a unique structure for this book. The first section, which can be read without running Flash, covers the basics of programming (scripting) in Flash (and, to some degree, programming in general). The second includes tutorials built around many commonly needed tasks (e.g., creating a horizontal slider and creating JavaScript cookies). Kerman stresses that his code doesn't represent the only solution, and isn't necessarily even the "prettiest" code--it's the code that makes the most sense in explaining how to work out the problem. There's even deliberately bad code here. In a very novel chapter, the book challenges readers to fix 10 faulty Flash files, offering first a clue and then the solution. Since so much of real-life work, particularly in animation applications like Flash, is spent debugging and finding one's way out of a seemingly dead end, this chapter is really valuable. (By going to phillipkerman.com, you can view a detailed description of all chapters, download selected ones in .pdf format, view all completed Flash animations, and download all the .fla files to work alongside the text.) Another advantage is Kerman's own teaching style. Using many metaphors, he describes how the pieces of script work in a way that is often clearer than mere definition of function, and definitely easier to remember. For example, "If you think of most variables as an empty whiteboard onto which you can write a value, an array is like a whiteboard with permanent horizontal lines separating many pieces of information." It's true that one can copy code and instantly get results, but to devise and debug your own requires the kind of internalized understanding one can get from working through this book. --Angelynn Grant
The book is structured into three parts: Foundation knowledge (general programming theory applied to Flash with short tasks to demonstrate specific concepts), Applied workshop (more involved tasks broken into three parts each--design discussion, the building steps, and analysis with suggestions of variation), and Appendices (which provides a concise listing of some of the more useful elements in ActionScript). The book will begin with foundation knowledge and will build on that with practical workshops. This way, the readers should be able to apply what they learn to future challenges they might encounter.
