Flash does not deserve to get the negative vibe that it has been getting. ie flash sucks. I have done a movie in my mind now if I can just get these programs to behave. My main problem is I am useing way to many programs and my brain is going to explode. I know you should learn one and learn it well but my problem is liking different ones for different things. I have noticed that people like Corel draw and I have never used it. Problem is with graphics that all the programs work differently. PSP 8 is my fav but I have an old program that I like much better for cropping etc except the colors are not web colors. Does anyone know of any good fhash tutorials out there? I have taken some by Macromedia andI swear that I have followed the steps exactly by the tutorial but the sr creen on my pc opens a different window within the program than does the tutorial. Are they purposly try to confuse us so we will all take there course? After at least 10 times following it step by step I just decided to try something myself and bingo it worked but not their way.

How can people really say that Flash sucks, Have they actually tried proramming in it? It is increadibly hard to make good flash programs (Like for instance Stick Death is suprizingly hard to make.)

Pixel2life Flash Tutorials

I really like Pixel2life, the tutorials are done by regular people instead of emplyoees, they are usually in depth and its a great way to get you started

I would highly suggest [URL=http://www.flashkit.com/]. They have many great tutorials, and also a huge amount of resources to browse through. They cover almost every aspect of Flash/ActionScript that you would ever need help with.

This includes topics such as:

• Getting Started
• Actionscripting
• Animation
• Optimization
• Physiscs

These are just a few of the topics available at Flash Kit. I have used this site on many of occaisons.

Good luck with your flash movie, make sure you post a link to it once you complete it so we can all enjoy it!
