Animation and Effects with Macromedia Flash MX 1002004 [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Standard Elements In the Book

This book uses several conventions in its layout and the way information is organized. You should be familiar with these elements before you start with the tutorials.

New terms are written in italics, and defined immediately afterward.

Items that you need to type into Flash (such as instance names or properties) are in boldface font. For example, if you change the size of the Stage, you see the dimensions in bold.

Code snippets are written in monospace font. If you see any bold monospace font within a code snippet, it means you need to modify the bold section. The rest of the snippet is ActionScript from an earlier step that you do not need to add or modify. Modify or add the bold code, and the rest of the code snippet remains the same.

The following layout style is used throughout this book.

Note:
Additional related information you should remember for the current or future projects.

Tip:
Interesting related information that will help your Flash workflow.

Caution:
Cautions you about potential problems with the software or a particular procedure, or things you might want to avoid doing with Flash.

Cross References:

Sidebars:
Interesting tips and information that does not fit within an exercise, but will benefit other projects you work on. For example, a project might use custom buttons to scroll text. A sidebar within that project might detail how to use the ScrollBar component.
