Reviews for "Actionscript Tutorial."
Not a AS Tutorial, It's "The AS Tutorial"
Well, good design, great music, and It teach ActionScript, not say to you copy and paste EVERYTHING, like as many Tutorials.
I'm going to use the ActionScript which you teached in my next project.

definitely a great actionscript tutorial.
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 \: )

Heh, I never encountered the 'menu' issue, but as for the Array thing... I'm not exactly how that bug slipped through :) I think it was from my Visual Basic days... Ah, that language taught me so many bad habits ;)
Thank yee for the review.
Definately helpful
Definitely a very helpful tutorial/reference guide.
Good stuff, would recommend
This is an excellent tutorial man, very detailed and organized. The interface was easy to use an your instructions were relatively easy to follow. Thanks! This should help many people who are trying to learn this programming language.
