- TUTORIALS
-
- FLASH! tutorials are an important learning tool. When you activate
- a FLASH! tutorial, it works as if an expert is sitting next to you
- operating FLASH! and the expert's spoken words are displayed inside
- dialogue boxes. This is similar to attending a private class at your
- convenience and as frequently as you choose.
-
- TIPs:
- learn tutorials 002,007,008 and become familiar with FLASH!.
- Tutorials 004 & 005 teach you to compose a 2 dimensional drawing
- from various functions. Tutorial number 006 teach you to compose a
- 3 dimensional drawing. It is important to first learn to draw in
- 2D before attempting to draw in 3D.
-
- Each tutorial concentrates on a particular function or aspect of the
- software. Use the Page up, Page down, & the direction arrows to see
- the entire list. Each tutorial has a three digit corresponding number.
- 3 Digit numbers are followed by the function's name in " ".
- Tutorials display dialogue boxes. FLASH! tutorials run on their own.
- Read contents of each dialogue box then press any key to proceed.
