In Animation Tips and Tricks with Flash Professional, author Dermot O' Connor introduces a variety of real-world issues that animators commonly encounter and practical solutions to them in Flash.

The course covers how to apply gradients to create subtle texture and light characters, reducing the flat look of most cartoons; how to simulate natural phenomenon such as wind, fire, and clouds; how to mimic 3D space; and how to add fades and transitions to create custom cuts between scenes. The course also includes a look at staggers, which can be used to create camera shake, tremor effects, and extreme character reactions. Exercise files are included with the course.

Topics include:

• Overlapping and animating the colors
• Animating ripples
• Applying gradients to a character's eye
• Shape tweening hair
