"Quite helpful.."

That was quite helpful and I'm sure it will help people who are new to flash.

~~~Good points~~~
The whole flash tutorial idea was great
It explained things fully and was very helpful

~~~Bad points~~~
The graphics looked like it was drawn in MS Paint or something.
The music didn't go well with the flash

~~~Improvements~~~
If you could do up the graphics a bit, you know tidy it up.
Put a better song to it, that one was more for a game not a tutorial.

~~~Other comments~~~
It was a good try, I see what you are trying to do. If you do the improvements I'm sure it will be a great tutorial.

~~~Overall~~~
I'm giving you 8/10 stars and voting 4!

Well done

"I'm sure it works great... I couldn't do it though"

I'm going to have to PM you with some help on this later, because I couldn't figure it out at all.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

I really liked how you had the animation/mini game right in the introduction itself. I think it would have looked a little better if all of that appeared behind the text. That way it never covered up any words.

I also think the layout could have looked better. Maybe there is a template that would clean up the style of your flash a little bit or something like that? I also don't know if I liked the colors so much. I always liked a dark color and a light color because it's easier on the eyes to read. Perhaps something like White words on a black background, etc..

~ Story/Content ~

Great all around, even though I think you should have made the text in the flash dynamic. (I think that's what it's called) So people could copy and paste it. I typed it all out by hand, but sadly it didn't work for me.

I have no experience in action script so I didn't know if I was suppose to write that all on one line, press enter where you started a new line, etc.. It was kind of confusing for me.

I do like that you explained how to do the action script though. I see too many times people get the actionscript from the flash forums and they aren't explained why it works the way it does. That doesn't help them at all.

~ Audio ~

I like the music that you picked for this submission though. The only thing that I can suggest to make it any better is to have a mute button. You might also want to think about having a voice read over the instructions too for people who learn better by listening to things.

~ Overall ~

Why did I give you a ten even though I couldn't get it to work? Because I hate giving a biased review. I'm not going to take points away from you because I don't know what I'm doing. This seems like it would be good for someone who has a basic understanding of actionscript, which I do not.

Like I said, I want to mess around with this later so I might PM you to try and figure it out. It looks interesting and I wouldn't mind making my first game ever.

Where can i get AS2?
Like maybe a trial download link or something like that might help a few people who are not so talented as to find it, or what store can i buy it from?
