Flash UI Prototyping LabsIntroductionThese labs were written as an attempt to provide a digestible way to step through the key issues related to using Flash for doing UI prototypes. Focus on UI Prototyping
These labs are specific to using Flash for UI prototyping. Most books on Flash will cover interactivity, but they don't get in to the specifics of best practices and approaches to complex prototypes. They typically focus on using Flash as a drawing program or for basic movies that play along a set timeline, and don't get heavily in to using Actionscript for interactivity. Labs
These labs are progressive and build on each other. They're designed to be done one per week, but they can be done faster as long as they're done sequentially. Each lab would be posted both as a SWF and as a FLA.
Resources
Within each lesson, there may be links to other websites that explain concepts and tasks in greater detail. I've used the following web sites and books frequently enough that I felt they justified having permanent links from this page. AboutI originally wrote these labs a resource for the Adobe User Interface Team in December 2003. I've presented them here so that they can be referenced by a wider audience. |
