In Flash 5, incorporating video functionality in Flash presentations was possible for only a select few designers, and then only after a lot of hard work and some work-arounds. Now, Flash MX gives everyone the opportunity to use the dramatic impact of video in their site design, sure in the knowledge that the ubiquitous Flash player will allow their audience to view the results of their work.

friends of ED were the only publisher to take the increase of video use with Flash 5 seriously, and have substantial experience of publishing on Digital Video technologies with their DVision imprint. With Flash MX Video, they use this knowledge to take a reader from their first encounter with video to creating the ultimate Flash site with video and sound. The book includes:

* How to edit and prepare digital video before bringing it into Flash
* How to effectively load and use video in Flash
* A fully worked, real-world case study using digital video and sound
* The options for scripting with video
