1 - Man Trace Part 1 (Running Time - 13:34)
In the first part of this tutoarial, I will lead you through photoshop to mask out our image for use inside of Swishmax. We will cover using the pen tool to trace out our subject, and then use that trace as a stencil. With this stencil we will create a stroke, a gradient, and several other elements. Then we'll put them all together in the next movie inside of Swishmax.

  2 - Man Trace Part 2 (Running Time - 9:38)
In this second video, we take all the elements that we created from the first tutorial, and put them together into a functioning animation.

In this tutorial, we'll use some of swishmax's built in effects to create an orbit animation. Using basic shapes, we'll give an illusion of planets in orbit. This effect can easily be built into a menu, but on it's own, is still a very appealing technique.

  11 - Preloader (Running Time - 10:11)
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a preloader that works in flash version 6. The preloader will count the size of your flash movie, and translate that into a percentage number.

  17 - Flyby Pixel Data (Running Time - 7:56)
In this tutorial, we will expand on the Pixel Data tutorial, and create the Flyby pixel data effect. Our simple pixel data will zoom across the screen, and is great for representing business messages to your viewers.

In this tutorial, I will expand upon both pixel data tutorials to show you how to create crosshairs. Our crosshairs will target a very simple person, and will actually make his "head" explode.

  19 - Search Engine Bar (Running Time - 11:38)

  20 - Java Browser Commands (Running Time - 20:33)
In this video, I set up all of the buttons that we will use for browser functions. We will create buttons that move forward and back in browser history, refresh a page, print, bookmark, and close window. We will then add the scripting to all of our buttons so that it performs the aforementioned browser functions. I will also explain a little about the javascript we are using.
