-Vector Graphics are made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors, which describe an image according to its geometric characteristics.
-Modify vector graphics without losing detail or clarity, because they are resolution-independent.
Paths
-A line or shape in flash.
-A path is made up of one or more straight or curved segments.
-A stroke can have weight (thickness), color, and a dash pattern.
1.4.1 Properties of vector Graphics
SVG= Scalable Vector Graphics
SWF=Small web format
AI=Adobe Illustrator Artwork
1.4.4 Transforming objects in vector graphics
-You can transform graphic objects by using the free transform tool (Modify > Transform)
Application
-Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages.
File size
-A one minute SWF will usually be smaller in file size than a one minute GIF.
2.2 How the human eyes sees color
- A green card does not emit green light. Rather, it simply absorbs all the frequencies of visible light
shining on it except for a group of frequencies that is perceived as green.
2.3 The color wheel

Primary colors

-They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs.
Complementary color Scheme
-Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors.
-This creates an intrinsically high level of contrast and creates a dramatic look.
-Contrasting colors are typically bad for text.
2.6 Digital Color Models
-Additive Primaries are the three colors of light that produce all the colors in the visible spectrum when added together in different combinations.
-Adding equal parts of red, blue, and green light produces white.
Subtractive color mixing
-Subtractive primaries are pigments, which create a spectrum of colors in different combinations.
(CMYK)
