Introduction

The main purpose of this article is to familiarise flash developers with the concept of DOM (Document Object Model) which plays in HTML a similar role as the display list in ActionScript. The DOM allows you to create and display visual objects, but represents a different approach than the display list. If you have ever dealt with XML in ActionScript, you probably used some of the DOM methods. In this article we will describe how to use the DOM and create basic HTML elements and effects. Next, we will shortly introduce you to the graphics and multimedia.
