Thank you Chad, this is another of your great tutorials. I became passionate about Flash following you. Actionscript is my ultimate obstacle at the moment, glad you cover it too. All the best, Bartolo

Thanks dude. I've had Macromedia Flash 4 for the longest time now(LOL) so when i finally got Adobe Flash CS5, the commands were so confusing. so this helps

This is so good.
Adobe really rocks, the action script instructions helps so much.
Thanks for sharing this video, I am so using flash pro cs5 for good now.

wow, I spent all this time righting code when there was all this? I knew about code snippets but didn't know it had so many options! although I'm probably still going to right a lot of the code myself anyways but thank you so much!

[Tootorials]

Hey, great tutorial. Keep up the good work. I've subscribed!

[flamesatgames]

Can someone please fix this command for me?

on (keyPress "<W>"){
gotoAndStop(6);
}

It's not working, or maybe i'm just not using it right... PLEASE HELP!

Nice tutorial. Can we create and add code snippets to the panel?

[docufiction]

What you should mention is what you do when you want to apply more that one code! This is particularly confusing for new people because yes you apply an STOP code and then what do you keep applying more code on same frame? This will drive crazy a beginner. It is okay that you show the sniped code but there is more to that! Where the action goes? in a frame or in an object (only movie clips BTW!) also what next when you want more than one code?

Hey, Can you do tutorials on how to draw and give the shadow effects and stuff like that just like your sprites? Please reply!

I just got CS5 today, and i am so confused. Im so good with Photoshop cs4, but this flash threw me off. I want to know if those layers to the left of the timeline are different layers like different characters or are they new scenes added on?

[soulrisk]

WOW I did not know that was there... so instead of searching the webs for hours and hours like I've been doing for a small code I can just go on there and play around.

[NimeniAltu]

hey, can you please tell me what do you use to record your screen? thanks!!

@Crosstone123 All his examples worked on AS2 fine.

[tommygrealy]

What perspective/workspace do are you starting in here?

[techgenius]

no, but the code will be different but the code snippets panel will still be there :)

[eireannsg]

Those code snippets....The new Flash CS5 looks a bit like a "Mini Swishmax"

[coolguyflex]

the fade effect looks weird because the lines didn't fade with the fills

[mcloarak]

@m0n4c3 but what about when cs6 comes out with three really awsome features that we all want and so we spend the couple hundred to upgrade dam adobe knows how to take our money. i swear they have all these new features stored waiting for each new creative suite and are chucking a few in at time

[milenkowarez]

Can someone show me the potential Flash now has with XML and Website design. Does anyone have a link to where i can check it out. i was a Macromedia Flash 5 Action Scripter but gave up about 5 years ago. and started making maps for Starcraft Since the Triggers and coding was all basically the same.. PM or post your works on here.
