Hi I just recently bought Flash MX and I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I’M DOING.

I want to create little videos and fun things

i.e. the videos on newgrounds or 8-bit theatre

I was wanting someone to give me some basic starters

like how to take and image and then make it move across the screen and maybe shoot a fireball

if I could only start there I could go on but I just right now its all greek to me, I’m good with programming other things so this isnt just some complete computer illiterate asking for help I know my way around quite well, just not FLASH,

so please someone reading this, look inside you and find the non-Flash programmer you once were and sympathize with me on this

I’d greatly appreaciate any help Thanks 🙂

Why don’t you start with the basic tutorials on this site, they should give you a nice introduction to what MX can do and if you have any questions as you go then post them here.

Welcome to Kirupa, I hope you’ll stick around. =)

Well if you just want to do animations, that is little to no programming at all.

It is all basic Motion and Shape Tweens.

I know this site have a few tutorials that involve tweening, like a fading text tutorial. But you can start by learning about those.

The tutorials provided with the program are a big help too.
