I wish you’d start with more basic basic’s. For those of us who have never programmed flash; what do we need? Is it possible to do so without forking over $800 to Adobe?

Realize I’m coming to this somewhat late, but I got to say, Steve – I paid my way through a Master’s Degree in IT, and this tutorial taught me more in substantially less time! Outstanding work, and remarkably generous of you to share your knowledge. I found myself repeatedly hitting a sort of mental block when it came to Flash until reading this tutorial.

I’m extremely grateful to you. I’ve purchased video tutorials on Flash that were less thorough and less approachable. You’re a gentleman and a scholar, sir! =D

This is not a beginner guide and not an advanced guide…
If you can’t follow this than you should use another tutorial(I started with a few tuts from emanueleferonato.com).

nice guide any way

How do you set the path for objects in library folders? If I don’t put MovieClips in a folder then Flash can find them.

I am new to Flash programming, and find it difficult to follow this tutorial. Is there a download of the entire project that I could examine?

So, where do I go to download all the sources?

Btw, I am a fifteen year old who, like you at childhood, wanted to make video games. I got Flash CS3 and even Photoshop CS3, but I am just getting started on programming, and I hardly can keep up with this guide. Is this begginer orientated or should I try something easier?

Justin, I think yo uare correct…which means the prefix is absolutely useless in this context. It should probably be “o” for object. Just goes to prove that you shouldn’t blindly follow a convention just because other developers you know do it, especially if you don’t know the reason for doing it!
