Actionscript for n00bs

1

i’m a noob, what can i say…is there a place i can get to for some basic commands and technics of AS?

so far, i’ve been working mostly with a few prebased scripts (ie hitTests and animating on mouseovers) but really i have no idea what i’m actually writing. i’m just copying and pasting. and worse, i see the threads here and scratch my head. i’m eager to learn…so, a brief overview, or maybe a site that would do it, anybody?

maybe www.kirupa.com?

or run a search… this is asked about twice a week…

You might try using the actionscript dictionary from the help menu in flash. Go through and search for the commands you use in your tutorials, it should give you a definition and examples of how they work. It will also link you to related commands.
