You bet Blade! Once school is out for Spring Break in a week, I’ll be writing a good amount of tutorials. I’ll start of with basics and then slowly progress onto the advanced stuff! ---

hehe. I’ve only been using Flash MX for 5 mins now; already i can see that I have a lot to learn in the interface and such. Just to appease anyone’s urges to see something Flash MX covered on my site, I have the basic structure down: [www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/index.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/index.htm) In the next few weeks I’ll populate it with tutorials, info, and more! ---

Looking good ! By the way, I was wondering : I downloaded Flash MX, but it wants me to shut down Flash 5 before I can install it. I fear that it will overwrite Flash 5, and since I haven’t bought MX yet… Basically, I want to be able to use Flash 5 when the MX version expires. What do you think ? pom 0] ---

I was able to use both Flash 5 and Flash MX at the same time pom. Sure, all FLA and SWF files default to the FMX viewer/program, Flash 5 can still be accessed from the Start menu. ---

Phwew… It works. But I really can’t get used to the as editor. I like to lay out the structure in normal mode, but I can’t even get a lousy onClipEvent (enterFrame) to appear ! Maudit !!! pom 0] ---

Yes, it might take a while for us to get used to Flash MX. I was used to having the action panel appear in its own little window; this is just too strange for me 🙂 ---

I figured out how to use the text scroller component. I have a question though; has anyone noticed that the text scroller does not work when text is imported from a text file stored in another location? The text displays, but the actualling scrolling is disabled. Entering text in the dynamic text field directly enables the scrollbars. Quite strange… Cheers, Kirupa ---

hmm… I’ll take a look. I never really understood scrollers before though so… 🙂 ---

I just finished the Macromedia tutorials (the first set). It was pretty good but there were a couple of errors in it. Flash MX kicks butt! I like! t2d ---

Hey newbieflasher, I don’t think I will create a separate ActionScript section for Flash MX. I will simply add on to the existing ActionScript section with Flash MX sensitive information. I haven’t decided yet 🙂 Cheers! Kirupa
