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.

    • I am not seeing a huge difference there.
    • This is what I came here to say even if just for a dedicated Windows PC gaming box. Gaming is the only use case have to use Windows these days.
    • The Outer Worlds 2 gets an October release date, reveals companion details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After Avowed, Obsidian Entertainment's next grand RPG was already revealed to be releasing in 2025, but during the Xbox Games Showcase today, it finally received a firm release date: October 29. Check out the new story trailer above. While the original was set in Halcyon, this time, the story is set in Arcadia, a brand-new setting that's described as a lawless frontier. Also cut off from Earth, this land is pressured by human conflicts as well as mysterious space-time rifts. "You’ve been sent in as an Earth Directorate agent, but how you handle the mission – who you help, hinder, or exploit – is entirely your call," says Obsidian today. "Build your character with expanded traits, flaws, and backgrounds that shape every decision and unlock new ways to fight, sneak, talk, or blow things up." The RPG will let players get involved with three clashing factions this time: The Protectorate, Auntie’s Choice, and The Order of the Ascendant. Each of them is attempting to advance their own version of humanity's optimal future. Each of these factions has tout own hub areas, followers, audio design, and propaganda elements, with the war between the trio changing all of these as the story progresses depending on player choices. "RPG systems have been reimagined for this sequel to give players more freedom and more flavor," adds the company. "For example, traits and flaws dynamically evolve based on how you play. Steal enough and you’ll be offered Kleptomaniac, which boosts loot sales but risks auto-theft when you so much as glance at an item." Obsidian also detailed the companions players will be able to meet and ally with in their journeys: Niles: Another Earth Directorate recruit torn between duty and defection. Inez: A former experiment from Auntie’s Choice with a grafted combat edge and a moral core. Aza: A chaos-loving Rift worshipper with a taste for violence and room to grow – maybe. Marisol: A stoic killer from the Order of the Ascendant with calculations to settle. Tristen: A walking tank and judge from the Protectorate, looking to dispense justice – or redefine it. Valerie: A floating, chirping support unit with unexpected upgrades and untapped potential. The Outer Worlds 2 is releasing on October 29, 2025 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. As usual for an Xbox game, it will be available to Game Pass subscribers on day one for no extra cost. Don't forget that Obsidian also has Grounded 2 releasing next month into early access too.
    • I love space RPGs, and this one will no doubt scratch that itch. Im still modding the crap out of Starfiled. Can't wait.
    • Nah, the problem is still Windows. If you install Linux on a gaming PC, you will get better performance in games.
