Simple tutorial for beginners.

[Mattimos]

So, for those of you who have flash, I'd like to get you started using actionscript. You can use actionscript on a frame, a movie clip, or a button, and thus have something happen when people interact with the flash. To make a button lead somewhere once clicked, either add an on release or on press event to the button as so...

on(release){
}

or...

on(press){
}

The action you choose to use will be placed within the curly brackets, and will then take effect on the button itself, making you be able to click the button. By using the + menu in the actions menu, you can add effects such as global functions, and timeline control. You can make the button lead to a website, or to a certain part of your flash. As a preview, you can make a start button by doing the following...

Place a circle on the first frame, select it, and convert it to a button using the F8 button. Click the frame you're on, and hit F9 to open the actions panel, then type in this code...

stop();

Then select the button, and hit F9 to open the actions panel. Once in the actions menu, paste this code...

on(release){nextFrame();
}

Add whatever you want after this from the second frame on. This first frames button could be the play button, to start your flash. Hope this helps! :D

Well, to start, you don't really need any knowledge of actionscript. Just play around with frames, tweens, different patterns, etc.

With actionscript though, you can assign actions to things you draw, which makes it even more handy.

Actionscript comes with Flash. You don't have to buy or download it anywhere.
