Description A Flash Animation Tutorial for people who have never used Macromedia Flash before and totally drown in the technicalities
of all those tutorials online.

I hope it will be useful... I'm often a bit chaotic when it comes to explaining things ^_^;

Good thing this tutorial has about 100 screenshots o_o

Send me a note if you don't get it...
Or see HORRIBLE mistakes in this tutorial.
Don't flame me on my spelling mistakes, I'm Dutch x_o

I love feedback on the usefulness of this XD

What shall I do when (in the button bit) in step 7 it comes up as actions and not actions - buttons and it says current selection cannot have actions applied to it?

Durgal In reply to poppit95miyu [2009-08-29 15:05:47 +0000 UTC]

Yes. I've watched the rest of your tutorial and can do all the rest. But in the preloader section, getting the actionscript for the button doesn't work for some reason. :/

Durgal In reply to poppit95miyu [2009-08-29 19:09:47 +0000 UTC]

Hm... Nope. I have a pc. I think it might have something to do with the difference between actionscript version 2 and 3. This tutorial might be in 2.0?

poppit95miyu In reply to Durgal [2009-08-30 09:51:07 +0000 UTC]

yes...maybe because I've got flash v. 3

Durgal In reply to poppit95miyu [2009-08-30 16:58:43 +0000 UTC]

Yup, got it to work! This works if you go under File > Publish Settings; then select the Flash tab and change the actionscript version to version 2.
