Ahhh what a fuked up weekend, I planned on getting the basics of actionscript animation, you know rotate a square, make it slide across the stage...but everybook I have come across assumes Im some rockstar flash programmer, all the tutorials I have come across are so poorly written that they arent really tutorials. For example http://www.ultrashock.com/ff.htm… if then do the second tut in the series the new code doesnt work with the old code so if you try loading the old FLAs with the new actionscript classes all the first lesson FLAs give me errors...there has to be a simple way for me to get out of this tweening world...SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE BEFORE I KILL MYSELF!!!!
P.S. No dis to any off the people that have written a flash book or some online tutorial...but come on people if your gonna write a tutorial you need to be really carefull explaining step by step whats needed...something as simple as not telling me I need to keep some file in the same directory as the FLA in the tutorial can cost the reader hours of un-needed debugging...hmmm looking at the time Im spending messing around with broke Tuts maybe I should just learn AS from the ground up
*sigh*

interesting mister jarredbishop, its a little in the long form, Ive been hearing that you can do complex AS with very little scripting. But now that I have this open source file I will see if I can take these FLAs apart. Thanks =)
WHat did you make these for anyway?

Not a link but anyway... if you want a decent book on AS try "Colin Moock's ActionScript for Flash MX - the definitive guide". He explains really well what's going on in your scripts.

personally I wouldnt recomend Colin Moock's book to a beginer, it makes sence for everyone who has done some work with AS already but confusing for some one who starts from scratch.
AS in 24 hours helped me out a lot when I started it. Althought I had a little programming experience, i think it is easy enough to understand.

if you take out the color fade function its not very big at all..
i made it to show movement and scaling etc with actionscript. alot of people have asked questions like yours since the whole 'click and zoom' site trend came about.
email me if you have any questions...

Well I dunno if I will do any "click-zoom" navs but Im working on a site re vamp and I just wanted to take some of the site motion to the next level...Well I did get a circle to bounce around on the stage forever so I guess Im making progress
