so if you could point me in the right direction in where to start learning that would be coo...i am fasinated with what people can do with flash and am drooling to learn. I am a big gamer so i know a little about computers but want/need/have to learn more.
```
so without further ado…whala please help…oh yeah btw…this isn’t a whim i am really intrested in learning flash and whatever else you use to create web sites and other fun shiznat:A+: 😉 :q:

Start from the beginning 🙂
The tutorials that come with flash do rock.
Get used to the environment you are working in, and figure out what tools do what.
Then start with the basics such as tweening and messing with the properties of objects.
And when you get into AS, start small and work your way up, don’t go starting out trying to make a full out RPG style game or something, because you will find it tedious and probably give up flash.
