This is by Everblayde.

And, finally, here is a tutorial on how to make a PRELOADER:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/39399

* There are also basic tutorials included in the Flash software that a lot of people don't know about. To find them, click on 'Help' at the top of the screen, go down to 'Lessons' and there will be some tutorials for you to do. I have Flash 5 though, so i don't know if it's the same for MX.
* If you have trouble, try checking out the Reviews.
* Try typing 'Tutorials' into the search bar at the top of the page. There are far more great tutorials than i can fit in a single page.

Much credit to the artists who have made these.

1.- Import the audio
a.- Press Ctrl + R
b.- Choose the files browsing your PC

2.- Open your library
a.- Press Ctrl + L to see it, look if there are you audio files and change the properties of them if you wish.
b.- You can drag them from there, to the frame where you want to hear them.

3.- Use the properties panel
a.- Open it with Ctrl + F3
b.- Do click on the frame that you want your music play
c.- In properties panel, change it for the audio file you need.

Remember to compress your audio files, so your movie size can be better :)

Good luck!

[Lucky]

Easy. Just go to file > import to library and select the music file. Then open the library and drag the sound to the first frame. Or right click on the sound as it is in the library ang press linkage then give it the name and on the frame go to behaviours>add sound from library and paste the library name you gave the sound

All educational software websites sell full licenced versions. The only conditions are that the person buying them is a student and that they can not purchase the software for commercial use.

[Kla-Kla]

is it true that i cant submit my flashes to N or anywhere unless i buy the comercial version?

It's fine as long as you aren't making money from it. Please stop asking questions in multiple threads.

sorry. i will only post in the appropreaite threads.

[Kla-Kla]

ok heres some last questions i need to know.

1.what is the diffrence between educational flash and comercial?

2. what does it mean to publish ur movie?

3.where can i find a place that lists a buncgh of action script codes?

i got some more but i forgot them. lol.

There is no difference that i know of.

2. what does it mean to publish ur movie?

I'm not sure, because i haven't had to do it, but i think it means you go to File > Publish so you can put it on a web page.

3.where can i find a place that lists a buncgh of action script codes?

You should really start with actionscript.org because it will be easier if you understand exactly what the codes mean, and how to put them together yourself.

www.actionscript.org, www.flashkit.com, http://flashregs.x3fusion.com/tutorials.php
- look for game tutorials

To be more specific, i don't think there is any difference whatsoever with the software versions. It is really about what you are using them for. The software was made for people who do web design and similar stuff, people who would be using it to make money, as a business. The student version is intended for people who are learning, perhaps for people to do assignments etc., so it is really for people who aren't going to be making money from it.

[Kla-Kla]

heres my toher questions i remebered. sorry for do many questions i just wana get better at flash.

1. can u make a character in a movie walk with using actionscript or is it only frame by frame?

2. can i submit a movie to NG using the trial version?

[JParadox]

yes if the AS is an on event clipload, then you can just tell it to start "this" movieclip "here" and it will play it.. So in theory you could.. there are other ways im sure.. but why wouldn't you just use a clip without it? unless your making a game..

You should use FRAME by FRAME or Motion Tweening.

Yes.

No, i don't mind if you post it. I would prefer if you left a link to the original at the top/bottom of the post though, and next time try not to cut of the top paragraph. All the same i don't mind.
