Ultimate Flash Tutorial

MAKE SURE TO READ ARTIST COMMENTS. VERY IMPORTANT. lol.. I think

Made for beginners, but always good to have a pro review it.

All AS in it is AS2.

Made with Flash CS3 pro, but i have used previous versions of flash (MX 2004, 9/pro 8, CS5, CS4 and CS2) and there are very little changes in the programs considering what is in this tutorial.

My first flash tut was crap. This is much better because I have developed from layouts with no point and vibrant coloured BG's to simple easy to read designs since my last tutorial.

I made this mainly because when I started flash it took me about 2 years to learn all the basics and it was extremely difficult and frustrating not being able to find a good easy to understand tutorial.

I have made this the most explanatory as I could personally, but if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask.

I'm also not looking for criticism, but I am only hoping that this will help out as many newbies as possible and not have them go through what I had to
