Ok, this ends up being my first official tutorial.
It starts off as a photoshop/imageready tutorial then becomes Flash and ends up being too wide thanks to a dialog image DOH! and there might be other mistakes in there somewhere :-\
hopefully it’s not too confusing due to its “trick”
… Ill let kirupa decide

hack and change as needed.

telekinesis asked a good question relating to the countdown and I provided a new .fla (which I guess works right, Ihaven’t heard yet that it doesnt ;)). Heres the thread

Think that can be added? Would you need me to write a little more about it or can you work from what’s in the post?
thanks

Sen - I’ll make it like a small question/answer format toward the end of the tutorial.
EDIT: How does it look? I can change it if you want me to.
