I'm trying to learn flash to learn times tables, so I want to almost but not quite repeat things. I haven't done programming since punch cards so all the "how to get from Actionscript 2 to 3" is less than helpful.I've got a Game Design book but I"m not finding how to simply copy a chunk of frames to repeat (and then change how it ends to take one answer off).

View 1 RepliesWould be of amjor benifit to learn the AS3 structure by way of Flex for the next verison of Flash? What I mean is, will Flash 9's AS be AS3 such as it is in Flex... and if so, would it be wise for me to familiarize myself with Flex's way of coding for that very reason?

What do you guys think is the best way to learn Actionscript is? I checked the sticky and the links, they are some good links, but I was wondering what is the best way to go about learning Actionscript. Repetition is probably a factor but should I go from tutorial to tutorial or go up in skill gradually?
View 6 RepliesIn Adobe TV there is a learning series titled "Learn Flash Professional CS4". In that series there are resources, files and such, that are mentioned. Where can I find these files?

View 6 RepliesI had a complete interactive application built in ActionScript 2.0, and now need to revise and update it -- which means converting the old code to 3.0. The first scene is a preloader for the entire application that loads and intro animation before launching the application. I went to the help section figuring that once I had some actionScript in the file, I could delete and experiment with the code until I began to understand (I did take a semester long course in Java, but not much has been retained). If you couldn't tell already, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
I copied the ActionScript from the help section, and pasted it into my Flash document. I went to test movie and got the following error message: "1037: Packages cannot be nested" I can't even figure out what that means! I have nothing else in my document.

I don't seem to find any decent AS3 book for learning Object Oriented Design.
I checked several ones but most assume that you are an intermediate or advanced AS3 developer.One like AS3 Design & Patterns is good but starts simple and get really complicated quickly. Another 2 are Object Oriented AS3 and Advanced AS3 with design patterns is TOO ADVANCED. Now we have OOP books but not for the little guy with limited programming experience like me. What are my alternatives? A friend of mine told me get Head First Java and learn from there it explain Java but especially OOP for beginners. What do you guys think I should do? I feel it is a shame that I need to go to Java to learn OOP because AS3 books are not for beginners.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a class to learn the in's and out's of AS II and i have stumpled into a bit of a problem i cannot resolve. Below is my class, the problem i am running into is on the monitorLoad() method... Take note of the traces, the first one gives me whatever i input into the class and the second one gets lost and traces undefined...so the problem I am running into has to do with where i create the empty movie clip....but i have no idea where i should create it in order to manipulate my loadBar_mov instance i will manually place on my stage...i realize using _root is not that dynamic and i probably should avoid it...but i dunno what else to do.

I have Adobe Creative Suite, but I haven't begun to learn how to use Flash yet. I work primarily with PHP using Dreamweaver and have a very basic understanding of JavaScript.I just discovered a really cool script here. The page displays a Flash image map of Africa and a table listing every nation in Africa. If you hover over Kenya on the map, Kenya is highlighted on both the map and the table. Vice versa, if you hover over the word Kenya on the table, Kenya is highlighted on both the table and the map.
I would like to duplicate this on my website. (It's in the public domain.) So I copied the source code, then began recreating the style sheets, JavaScript files and images. When I view the page locally, I see the Flash image (map of Africa). But when I hover over a nation on the map, it says "undefined," rather than showing the name of the nation. The table listing the nations doesn't display at all.
Does anyone have any idea how this affect is created? Can you offer any tips that might help me recreate it on my site? It appears that AJAX is another technology used on the page. That's something else I have no experience with, but I'm not sure if AJAX is associated with the Flash map/table function or not.
