Macromedia Flash Graphic Design Possibilities

Because of limited capabilities of media processing in Flash, visual and sound components of many Flash projects are modified in other appropriate applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Audition, Macromedia Freehand, etc. and Flash is used to compile those materials in the desired composition. The main idea of this work is to overcome standard uses of Flash and to present it as a tool for creating design solutions through many possibilities that ActionScript programming language offers. Main features of this kind of design are computer-generated shapes, colors and compositions based on random selection in a way that the designer does not entirely know the final solution until the program ends.

Creating that kind of design solution requires fundamental knowledge of Macromedia Flash tool, ActionScript code and structure of algorithm. Our work will present how to make simple but effective solutions using basic tools only.
