Continuing Basics of Flash

Some of you are ready to move on, and some of you are still working on the first four flash assignments (a drawing, two motion tweens, one shape tween). If you are ready to move on, then it's time to start learning a bit about ActionScript3, or how you can program things to happen in flash.

For starters, let look at something really basic.

ActionScript3 Basics Tutorial:01
I'd like to see you be able to follow along this tutorial and make a graphic behave in the ways shown in this file. He makes it really easy, follow along and you should have very little trouble.
Through this tutorial, you should be able to show me three things using actionscript,
-make an image move across the screen
-make an image jump to a specific point on the screen
-make an image follow your cursor

From here on, I'd like you to think about what you'd like to do with Flash. Possibilities include making an animation, or a website, or a game. You'll need to pick up more skills on the way to get a product you're happy with. Below are a few more tutorials that use ActionScipt3 that may aid you in this.
