Where to start out?

1

yes, i know have already made a thread like this one, but i regret not checking it out.

so without further ado…

where should i start out in flash? any books you recommend for starters? where did you start when you where a noob (like me)? what would you reccomend for somebody who wants to use flash for the sole purpose of animaton (not webpages), for example, catoon making?

thanks:cowboy: :smirk:

Actionscript for MX: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition

I bought the first edition for Flash 5, and pre-ordered his new MX edition that should blow away all Flash MX actionscripting books! Most books by Friends of Ed are also good: www.friendsofed.com

It’s a talent, u can’t animate or create cartoons that easy, well, Try friendsofed books, i believe they are good. [link] What about the actionscript language, its one of the main features in flash, without using it, u hardly can ever build a website with flash. ASDG is coming, so be prepared. :evil:

Friends of Ed books are awesome, the Flash Math Creativity is not for the light of heart - but it can really open your mind (once you have a really good grasp on Flash though)… also Flash MX Studio by the same people is ver excellent, it’ll help a new user to stay away from tweens and learn more actionscript - good luck!! and happy flashing.

Peace
