Starting from Scratch

There’s tons of Flash tutes out there, but getting started and continuing through a comprehensive gradient of tutorials to learn ActionScript3 is difficult.

I bought Chris Griffith’s Real-World Flash Game Development, and he fried my brain in the 4th chapter… “I’m going to assume you already know how to use variables and methods, either from earlier versions of ActionScript or another language.”

… ah NO! That’s why I paid $80 for your book.

“It’s important to remember that, when accepting a variable number of parameters, type checking during compilation will not catch any attempts to pass invalid data to the method.” :stormtrooper:

That maybe true, but what the heck does that mean? Please don’t answer that.

Does anyone have some real starting points for ActionScript3? Kirupa’s introductory stuff is good but I was wondering if there are any other progressive AS3 tutes out there that go right the way through.

Thanks!
