ZoloftClock responds:

thanx i'm glad that you have found it informative

Ohhh.... textaloud...

I honestly do think that textaloud can be funny when applied in creative ways, as some Clocks and Locks have done. But in a serious tutorial, it's a handicap. You did of course use short text lines to accompany the pictures (in an excellent step-by-step process, just needs a 'back' button), but I'd just as soon get rid of the voice and maybe add a little more clarifying text - it would save space, and I'd rather hear a pube muppit's monologue about shitting in Eminem's mouth than get Flash pointers from a textaloud character.

Another problem - I didn't see any explanation at the start on what masking, what it can be used for and why it should be used. I love masking, I didn't find out how to do it until I'd been working for Flash for quite a while and it opened worlds for me - but I don't think a Flash novice is going to know why he should be following this tutorial in the first place.

Lastly, I think it perhaps would've been better to first show the application of masking with basic shapes, and only then suggest how it could be used to make a Lock's lock appear like an eye. It probably alienates non-Locks the way it is now. And of course, you don't have to publish a movie to see its masks in action - you can just lock (hah) the mask and masked layers.

While I'm glad to finally see a tutorial on something not explained in the standard Flash tutorials and that actually looks helpful, I think the points I described will make it mostly miss its target.
