you have to pay for this crap? (also groovyd you copied your first site from here? http://www.cartoonsmart.com/interface_design.html) seriously dont pay for these tutorials you can get better tuts that come with flash and if you have any design sense you can make a site with that knowledge. If you want to spend money buy a book from macromedia ("traning from the source" series is good) and use that to learn the basic stuff but i learned it without any tutorials except the ones that come with flash. (and i can assure you you wont have all a the flash knowledge from the above tuts, there is far more to know about the use of flash than you can learn in a few hours.)

Well, that is quite the question....

And in fact, I actually the FIRST day of learning Flash, went onto a forum and posted just like you. Wow that was 7 years ago too.

Incredible........ anyway

I will pass on the same knowledge that was provided to me, I didn't listen at first but of course, when I did, my ability to handle flash's complex learning curve became so much easier.

Books, books, books.

Tutorials don't work. They just plan dont; work. They don't stick to your brain, you don't get the right language explained to ya. It's just not the same as reading from a good old text book.

I STRONGLY recommend books from Sams Publishing (anything "Learn in 24 hours" is a good crash course)

The thing about the books, is that they put the knowledge and understanding into a light where you can understand it to a full degree. This is very important to making all this stuff stick in your brain. Trust me. I've had to learn programming and all the craziness that came with Actionscript as an artist by nature. Wasn't easy.

Take it from me, this will make your life alot easier. Plus the books dive into some wicked tutorials that actually make sense and you can apply immediately. Once you've got EVEN one of those books in your head, go nail off some tutorials on the internet. I find tutorials on the internet are just a mixed pot of different styles of doing things. I think a book gives you the ability to make up your own logical style of doings things by learning it the right way in the first place.

Anyway, good luck to you.

another thing to think about:

while building in flash is good and all, make sure you think about WHAT you want your site to do. thats the biggest killer of flash. i was trying to learn it, however i didnt have a good game plan of what i wanted any of my sites to look like. so now, for inspiration, i check out boxedart.com and look at their flash templates. that will give you a decent idea of what you can do.

    • Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
    • Alienware 34 240Hz QD-OLED Monitor: A premium ultrawide for serious gamers - save $100! by Paul Hill Are you a serious gamer looking to save money on a monitor upgrade? If so, check out this deal on the Alienware 34 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3425DW), which is discounted by 13% from $799.99 to just $699.99. This ultrawide monitor features a 3,440 x 1,440 pixel display and the screen is curved for added immersion. Two features that will stand out to competitive gamers are the 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time which will minimize any lagging from input to display, making you a more lethal player. Why QD-OLED matters for gamers and creators This Alienware uses QD-OLED (Quantum Dot Organic Light Emitting Diode) technology which combines OLED’s self-emitting LEDs with the color-enhancing capabilities of quantum dots. This results in higher brightness, a wider color gamut, deeper blacks, and wide viewing angles. With the 1800R curve built into this display, whatever you’re immersed in will wrap around, making your games more absorbing, potentially reducing other distractions. There is also VESA DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification and 1,000 nits peak HDR brightness on this display. Gamers using this monitor will be able to get the best quality picture from this monitor to improve the experience and their competitiveness. It’s also good for creators who want to edit images and videos as they will see the content they're editing in the best ways possible, so they can be totally sure it’s ready for publication. Design, connectivity, and user experience The Alienware 34 uses an updated Interstellar Indigo design which is more compact and uses a flat stand. This frees up desk space compared to older Alienware designs and still allows for height, tilt, and swivel adjustments and VESA mount compatibility. Regarding ports, this monitor features 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x USB 5Gbps Type-B upstream, 1x USB 5Gbps Type-A downstream, 1x USB-C 5Gbps downstream with 15W charging. The USB-C port is for data and charging, not video input and the lack of KVM switch could be a drawback for some. If you decide to pick up this monitor, according to PCWorld, it does not include in-built speakers so you will need to connect your own. This is not a big issue because gamers looking for a premium playing experience will not want to rely on subpar in-built speakers anyway. Is the AW3425DW the right fit for you? Given its curved display, quality QD-LED display technology, and its fast response time, this monitor is a great pick for serious gamers looking for top-tier performance and immersion. Content creators who value color accuracy will also do well in picking up this Alienware monitor.
