Detailed Video Descriptions
1 - Button Animation (Running Time - 16:41)
In this tutorial, we take a look at how to make an animated button with a series of hidden letters that jump out from behind the button when the user hovers the mouse cursor over it.
2 - Bungee Ball (Running Time - 15:07)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a circle that the user can drag around the stage. But when the user releases his mouse, the circle will snap back to the center of the stage as though it were tied to a bungee cord.
3 - Spastic Button (Running Time - 4:28)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a button that goes spastic and starts jumping around whenever the user hovers the mouse cursor over it. It is as simple as putting a movie clip in the "over" state of the button. Check it out!
4 - Dynamic Lines (Running Time - 17:40)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create two draggable circles that will always remain connected via a dynamic line that you will create in Actionscript. No matter where you move the circles, they will always be connected by the line.
5 - Button Spotlight Effect (Running Time - 15:21)
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a spotlight that will follow your mouse cursor around and highlight buttons on your stage when you move over them.
6 - Propeller Effect (Running Time - 11:48)
Creating a spinning animation is very simple in Actionscript, taking only a few lines of code. So since it is so simple, we will take this tutorial one step further and show you how you can allow your users to control the spin and the direction of the spin using their arrow keys.
7 - Zoom Blur (Running Time - 7:49)
The effect illustrated in this tutorial is a very common effect where we zoom into an image very quickly and add a slight blur to the image while it is zooming. This effect requires setting up two identical images of differing size.
8 - Rewinding The Timeline (Running Time - 6:47)
In this tutorial, trainer Craig Campbell will show you how to create a button that will cause your animations to play in reverse when clicked. It's like having your own rewind button for a Flash cartoon.
9 - Dry Erase Board (Running Time - 9:47)
Want your users to stick around your website a little longer? Try giving them something interactive to do, like drawing on the stage. In this video, you'll learn how to allow your users to click and drag on the stage in order to create their own drawings.
10 - Creating A Flyout Menu (Running Time - 20:37)
Everybody wants to create their own animated menus that suddenly appear out of nowhere when they hover over a button . . . don't they? Well, if they do, then Craig Campbell is here to show them how!
11 - Action Loop (Running Time - 8:58)

Stop settling for $500 to $1000 web design projects and start making some real money. More importantly, start building a real business. You know, the kind that will allow you to take some time off and still have money coming in. The kind of business where you are building an asset that can be sold at some point in the future.
If you are tired of working long hours grinding away in front the computer just to make the same money as a Starbucks barista, then you will be very interested in the following information.
Each week I host a webinar where I show designers the exact skills you need to develop to take your business to the next level. For some, that means being able to go from part-time to full-time. How nice would it be to trade in your day job for a successful business where you call the shots. For others that is means getting your very first client.
I even show the pros how to grow their business. Just last week we had a guy that fit in that top 1% category. He is charging $30,000, on the low end, for a website. He was making more money than almost all of the other 22 attendees combined.
I opened his eyes to some new ideas, one of which has the potential to double his already successful business. That is the thing about the top 1% - they are always anxious to learn something new. He could have easily passed on the opportunity to attend the webinar based on his success, but there he was soaking up new ideas to grow his business.
How To Attend The Webinar
The webinar is a 2 hour presentation plus a live Q and A session. Most of these sessions last over three hours.
We use Webex to facilitate the webinars. This allows you to watch and listen to the live presentation via the web. We use the chat feature to create a very interactive experience.
