Ok, I am very new at this and I have no clue what I am doing. I have been working on the turorials here, and have completed many succesfully. I was wondering, when you are making things with action scrpt, etc., the object you want to move, do you create that object in flash, or do you have to make it let’s say photoshop and import it? If you make it in Flash, how? Also, if you want to make a flash webpage, the graphics that you want to move, do you create those in photoshop too?
For complex graphics, most people use photoshop or other image editing programs and import them into flash, but for simple vector stuff, you can do it right out of flash using the built in drawing tools. There is a tutorial in the special effects section on drawing, try doing that tutorial cause it will show you how to use the drawing tools in flash. Here is the link.
