Personally, I would like to see more organization of the tutorials. I find it a little bit confusing when Iām in a tutorial to find my way around. Iām not saying like a strict numbered list because I like the freedom of choosing the tutorial that meets my need. Itās just that I find myself lost a little bit when Iām in them. Maybe they should be categorized?
I love the āfamous flash sitesā page. There are some sweet sites on there. Maybe this could be expanded and categorized (?). For example, lynda.com organizes site links very well.
Perhaps a glossary of basic terms would be good also (that can be linked from inside the tutorials). Not just Flash terms, but html, java, and asp terms as well (?). I find that a majority of Flash newbies have little or none html, etc., knowledge.
On that note, some html lessons/tutorials would be fantastic if youāre interested in going that route! I for one would be thankful. Maybe even a forum for this as well.
Well, thatās all for now but Iām sure my mind will churn out some more. I really enjoy the site, kirupa! I wish I had started at your age. You make this 29-year old feel ancient.
Edit: Oops, didnāt notice the āgeneral helpā forum. However, it did make me think that separate forums for html (or other web-coding languages) and design would be great.
Iād love to help anyone with design problems especially with Freehand or Photoshop.
I like your ideas, Time2design, even though I donāt think that HTML is really the subject. Donāt get me wrong, Iām a dick at HTML too, and I would certainly need some lessons.

Thinking about that, I think youāre right; probably is off topic of the site. However, what Iād really like to see is html help that ties into Flash only. Or, actually, any web-programming language that ties into Flash. That would be great!
Iād really go for something like that and I think most Flash designers from a design background (rather than a programming background) would really like this.
You do have a good point there time2! Iām studying like heck for my SAT (standardized exam) which will be in a few weeks; after that I should have enough time to incorporate all those changes. I think some of the tutorials could use better navigation between sections, etc!
i can help out with the actionscript workshop, maybe we can set up little āclassesā to teach this foreign language. maybe a chat client will help with this?
Hey thor!
That will really help, but I find that the chat room is mostly empty lol. Instead of using a chat room, maybe we can provide our AIM names and when any of us comes on, we can maybe provide some help?
What I was thinking was like an index like set of pages with some snippets of ActionScript, an example, and description. Kinda like what Moock did on his book
Real quick (and Iām sure youāve thought of this before), howās about a chat room with hosted events?
I know this seems cheesy at first but I canāt help to think that it would be nice to chat to you or the mods for a quick half-hour or one-hour session on various topics.
yeah, thatās what i suggested two posts ago, but it seems the chat rooms are open. now if we were to sort of advertise when a certain of us will be on, then weāll hold sessions.
hello every one and once more kirupa u r doing a fantastic job i really love this site and i was never so deeply involved in flash before but after i visited ur site and posted some queries and i jus culdnt belive the reply i got and from that day onwards i was getting flash addicted.
Now i totally agree with pom when he said that we shuld have some tutorials on how to create a flash site coz itz really very important for us to know the very basics of createing a site abd where do we put the menus and buttons and things like that.
So i think that very soon u shuld be up with something like that.
And Once Again Great Job.

Hey Kirupa, I made something about the attachMovie function. A few images missing here and there, but itās there. Wanna see it ? www.multimania.com/ilyaslā¦orial.html
I took the presentation from Jubba, thatās why you get that Angelfire crapā¦

Hey Pom,
The tutorial is really nice! I will upload the animations you sent me shortly to my site; I donāt mind the file size of the animations. Itās good enough to justify the wait people will have to go through
WHAT?>!>!>!>! that is purely 100% homemade source code, there frenchy. thatās my effect. i own that junx. i am its daddy. when you see something like that on the internet somewhere, it came from me (i get a lot of emails asking me if they could use it for their site, hmā¦sound like an idea there, jubba?). well i canāt rant about it, it was open source as well, but should anyone ever ask who created such a thingā¦twas i, thoriphes.
ok, so maybe iām getting a lil too far with thisā¦hey, iām bored. just promise me this: donāt go around saying you made it up. thatās the least anyone could do for me to keep the codes coming.
ROFLMAO
Donāt worry, Tho, I was talking about the HTML source, not the Flash sourceā¦ Donāt tell me that you made up that HTML by yourself !

Yeah, we werenāt talking about the flash, we was talking about the HTML. Thats the source that i stole, and i took it from Kirupa, just so that I could make my page in the right format so that it would be easier for Kirupa to put on his site. I realize that the Flash was yours and bravo cuz its amazingā¦
