Welcome to Part 12 of the Building a website with Web Premium CS4 tutorial series. In this part you'll complete the following tasks:

• Create an interactive Flash animation that uses some of the new automated tweening features in Flash CS4 and a bit of ActionScript 3.0 code.
• Publish the Flash animation.
• Create a new web page that presents the Flash content.

Note: If you've just arrived at this section, you may want to go to Part 1 and start following along from the beginning. Or, if you prefer, you can download the sample files provided below and start following the instructions that are outlined here. The steps in this tutorial assume that you've installed the web server and application server, and defined a Dreamweaver site pointing to the directory on your hard disk where the local site files will be stored (as described in Part 2).

If you've already completed the previous parts, you can continue to work with the files you've already created and only need to download adventuretours_pt12_newfiles.zip. You'll find a new folder named flash that contains a single Flash document named surfmap.fla. Copy the new flash folder to your website folder, and you'll have everything you need to get started.
