"definitely a great actionscript tutorial."

by: Rammer

date: February 13, 2008

i didn't find any of it helpful, because i already know it, but i can tell that it would be helpful if i was less experienced in flash. i love how you didn't stray to "COPY AND PASTE THIS IT WORKS CUZ IM AWESOME LOL" and you sticked to teaching code.

i noticed a mistake in the advanced section, though. i dunno if anyone pointed this out, but arrays are zero-indexed, so Array[0] would point to the first element, not Array[1]. great job on the rest of it, though. i liked the inclusion of debugging and classes. i don't think many people include that in their actionscript tutorials, so it's good that you did.

i skimmed the beginner bit to see if you would actually teach the concept of coding, rather than arbitrary easy scripts, and lo and behold...you did. more people need to see this tutorial before they go on the flash forum, whining about why their code doesn't work, or "CAN U GUYS CODE MY GAME 4 ME LOLZ"

also, at the end of the advanced tutorial, i couldn't click the "menu" button...unless that was just intended to bring up the navigation thing. i think a menu button would have been a bit better than three buttons with numbers on it, but that's a very petty gripe and i'm not holding it against you.

all in all, excellent tutorial.

(also, i looked back in some of the reviews...i must say, i enjoyed your response to IaReFrEaKeeee. some people just don't seem to get that this isn't a silly comment box \: )

I'm understanding AS finally, to think how much trouble I had ASing the play button on my first movie...lol. I'm more on the artwork side. This really has me informed every code thus far has worked great and has got me thinking of alturnate combinations! I'll have to get back to this tomarrow.
