Creating a Flash learning environment

Hi, guys I’m new to Flash, I’ve picked up really basic bits tweening etc, but I cant code for toffee.

Can someone let me know what is the best environment to create a learning management system? I’ve seen Authorware is it anygood? Can Flash do the same thing?

For an academic project I am creating an IT security awareness programme where users are engaged in an interactive environment; e.g. wath small movies, drag and drop quizes etc.

Does anyone know if there tutorials around to help create something like, my course is not on design its an IT security MSc and this is for my project module. I’ve got the layout and stuff in my head buy just don’t have the technical skills in Flash or Authorware.

Any advice/help would be much appreciated.

sure, you can do this in flash.

a couple of pointers:
-you might want to look up components, this is where you’ll get your checkboxes and radio buttons.
-you can use startDrag and stopDrag to initiate and end dragging. you can search for that. there’s plenty of stuff on the net.

you know, i try to avoid saying this to people, but i think in this situation it’s really for the best:

hope you find what you’re looking for :smiley:

Lol cheers Cyberathlete, I shall peruse.

Hey Cyberathlete or anyone else can you recommend any good books for learning Actionscript, in addition to this place of course.

Is actionscipt difficult to learn? I’ve never been a programmer lately I’ve felt the need to express my inner creativity I think Flash will allow me to do this.

Hey is Kirupa a real person or is he MIT’s new AI lifeform? :stuck_out_tongue:

You can learn everything you need to learn on the internet about flash. Try any of the tutorials on this site or flashkit.com their both great sites except this on is a bit better. Just do the tutorials and if you have a hard time with one ask someone here for help. I’ve learned a lot about actionscripting from just asking simple questions. and most of the tutorials on here go into actionscripting detail at the end of the lesson.

Don’t waste your money at a book store just put this site to use.

yeah i’d say the same. i’ve bought one actionscriupt book and it’s lame. total waste of money.

however, it depends onwhat sort of book you’re looking for. the one i bought was SAMS teach yourself actionscript in 24hours. it covers all the basic stuff. something you might like to look at.

I’ve had a look around and as with anything there is no one book that can teach you everything. I reckon a bit research on the net and with the help of forums such as these I should be ok.

Thx guys much appreciated.
