If you haven't finished the ActionScript 3 tutorial on youtube, then get to it soon.
If you've already accomplished that, then its time to start thinking about your big project.
Choices for this Project:
-Animation (needs a play and pause button)
-Flash-based Website
-Flash Game
note: the video link above shows you how to make a play and pause button, a go to start and go to end button, and merge the play and pause button. The only part I'm requiring is the play and pause button. You can merge them if you want, you can add go to start and go to end if you want, but it isn't required. There are other videos and tutorials out there as well, you don't have to use this one, I just thought it was pretty good.
You may want to look into how to play sound/music, too. It'll definitely make things more impressive. Some tutorials online use Actionscript 3 and some use Actionscript 2, you can't mix and match. Make sure you're only using one or the other. There is preference for Actionscript 3.
As with every project, you need to use all four parts of the design cycle AND document them. Look at the IB Criteria by which you will be graded, and see how to get the most points for your work. Don't forget, there are already quite a few resources in my previous posts, but there's a lot more out there! Don't feel limited to just what I provided.
As always, while you may use copyrighted material for the small learning exercises, for your finished big projects whatever you make needs to be original. You may use free stock imagery and sounds/music from free sound libraries and free music libraries.
