CHAPTER 4
Building Your First Application
This chapter provides a tutorial that guides you through the process of creating a simple
application using some of the authoring features in Macromedia Flash MX 2004 and
Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004. A Flash application, broadly defined, can be as simple
as content that offers interactivity, or as elaborate as a robust application that interacts with a
variety of data sources.
In this tutorial, after examining an existing Flash document, you’ll begin by creating a new Flash
document and end by publishing the application for web playback. The tutorial should take
approximately 20 minutes to complete.
If you have not already done so, we recommend that before you take this tutorial you read
Chapter 3, “Getting to Know the Workspace,” on page 21 .
