If you’re using Flash MX, make sure you updated the help file. The first help file they released was thin at best. ---

if you go to the macromedia site, and search for downloads for Flash MX, you will see Flash Help Updater. That is the download you need. ---

The downloadable Flash help updater doesnt do all the corrections to Flash help (at least from what Ive noticed) - It primarily ads the Camera object and… um something else… Objects that werent in the Help AS dictionary to start. I think it also expands on the non dictionary parts. I think the best bet for AS reference is macromedias site. They have the AS dictionary for reference online - and its probably the most correct and currently best updated. Of course if you have any questions about anything in particular, these forums are great help too. First search 😉 there has been a lot already said about… a lot. Then ask specifics and chances are someone will answer your question, sometimes in greater depth than you had wished for like with [this](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12181). ---
