Hey pcj…lol I don’t see what being the same age as krupa has anything to do with the post, but oh well. One of the best places to get tutorials and learn actionscript is [www.actionscript.org](http://www.actionscript.org). They have MANY tutorials all explaining basic stuff like variables to the most advanced actionscript code. I learned a lot there. Heh I’m still learning a lot though 🙂

I picked it up at work. Got asked to make a game of some kind for 13 year olds using Flash and it went from there. For the first few months for every problem I solved two more appeared, but I guess that’s just programming for you. 🙂 \r\rI found a good book helps. Because if in doubt, you can always pick it up and throw it at something / someone / out the window / through your monitor.\r\r - Kit
