i could help, although i havent done flash in a long time (about a year now)... it would really help if you knew java since actionscript is heavily based on java...
btw, my footer was done in flash

Hi, I'm TheZsterBunny. Usually I post on the Turing or Spam forums, but I've decided to become more involved with flash. Now, I've been using flash for a long time, but only recently have I been introduced to programming in Actionscript. I can do basic commands (stop, gotoandplay), but I would really like to learn more about this language. If anyone would like to help me learn actionscript, I would be very appreciative. -ZsterBunny p.s. its not just for me. my compsci teacher plans to have me teach flash in his web class next year. p.p.s. i know that there are tutorials out there, but none of them seem to help explain the syntax. |

wouldn't the opposite be true then? I have both ICS 4M and [web page course] this year. would you recommend learning actionscript and then java, or vice versa? -Z |

what i meant was that if you already knew java that would be nice because then learning AS would be a breaze... not that you should learn java before actioscript... |

Well, actually they both derive from C/C++ syntax, so Java is more a sibling of Actionscript than a parent. Be patient Z, try : http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials.shtml The early tutorials seem over-simple, but go through them. |

thanks -Z -edit- reading into this, it seems that Actionscript 2.0 is not too different from turing. except for the fact that they got rid of the stupid 'end ___' things people needed. -Z |

The_Triangle <- no, Actionscript is just the programming language used in Flash for Flash games. TheZsterBunny <- I could give you some aid. Start with: http://www.geocities.com/thefastfiles/ - the only flash tutorial I actually went through... Now there are more advanced ways of programming in flash, object oriented including special file types: .as I would suggest to start object oriented programming right away, because now I regret that I didn't, and I have to rewrite my games to be object oriented. |
