4th of July in Flash

It's the 4th of July, a holiday much-celebrated here in the United States as the country's Independence Day. Barbecues, fireworks, and pool parties about; everyone takes the day off work and makes sure that all the public vacation spots are too clotted with people for anyone to use unless they show up at the crack of dawn. Some prefer to celebrate at home - but in many states it's illegal to purchase or ignite fireworks at the home. That's all right, though, because we have a pair of short, easy lessons that teach basic tweening and let you use Flash to make your own fireworks - that don't break any laws at all.
