You can use the CS Effects interface to create a virtually limitless number of effects. However, the effect simply repeats its behavior until the movie ends. Real smoke and fire conditions improve or degrade. Through programming, you can link a series of effects that show how the smoke or fire evolves over time.
Important: We created CS Transition extension to help you make smooth transitions without programming. However, we have included this introductory section on programming CS Effects for those interested in technical details.
While we hope you can get the idea on how to program CS Effects from our samples, to fully understand how to program in Flash requires a greater committment than reading these Help pages. Going to your local library or bookstore, you will find many books at various levels of how to learn Flash. Almost wherever you are on Earth you can find classes around you at local colleges, training institutes, or through private companies. On the Web, there are thousands of sites devoted to helping you learn Flash and techniques in Flash, such as FlashKit. Of course the most obvious place to start is Macromedia's own web site in the Flash Developer Center. Remember, you can also post to the CommandSim discussion board with your Flash questions.
The following pages and samples describe how to write programs for your CS Effects so you can make transitions or otherwise manipulate the tokens on the fly, while your scene is running.
