About SquareOne

Any SquareOne course can be tailored to meet the particular requirements of your organisation.  We will be happy to use any of your examples for delegates to ensure that the course is as interesting and relevant as possible.

Course Objectives

Flash is the ideal package for those wishing to create high quality web animations whilst maintaining small file sizes. Through 100% hands on exercises, delegates will become competent with the drawing, colour and text tools, and then progress to working with the full range of animation features. Delegates will also learn how to apply sound and interactivity to their animations, and then publish them for use on the web.
