Hello there, I’m new to these forums, so please excuse me if I’m not meant to be asking newbie questions in this forum. Well I’ve been using Flash for about a year now so I’m pretty familiar with the basics, but what I wanted to do is take the plunge into Actionscript (I love lostinbeta’s site:) ). So can any of you recommend where you guys learnt? Thank you alot, Dhruv ---

I am glad you like my site=) My site is actually done in Javascript and DHTML. I started to learn those before I started Flash. Hmmm, places I like to go to learn AS… [www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com) of course (one of my main sources really) [www.bit-101.com](http://www.bit-101.com) has some great tutorials [www.actionscript.org](http://www.actionscript.org) [www.flashkit.com](http://www.flashkit.com) That is all I can think of that I go to so far. ---

Thanks alot for those! What I meant was I love those very cool Flash movies on your site (not that I don’t love the clean layout too:) ). I’m fairly familiar with HTML, CGI, PHP and err- well to be honest I barely know nothing about Javascript, but I think I’ll start learning Actionscript and see how I go from there. Once again thanks! ---

OHHHH, ok. Well what I have on my site can be learned at [www.bit-101.com](http://www.bit-101.com) and at [www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com) The others things I just did myself out of bordom or something. I have more things I need to add up there, I just haven’t gotten around to it. Thanks for liking my flash stuff =) Well its 4am here, I gotta get up early to go on vacation for the weekend too…oh well. I am going to bed now I guess…goodnight:) ---
