If you're using Flash MX, make sure you updated the help file. The first help file they released was thin at best.

[Hawk]

i assume thats at the macromedia site? can you point me in the right direction please?

thx

[Iammontoya]

if you go to the macromedia site, and search for downloads for Flash MX, you will see Flash Help Updater. That is the download you need.

thx

The downloadable Flash help updater doesnt do all the corrections to Flash help (at least from what Ive noticed) - It primarily ads the Camera object and... um something else... Objects that werent in the Help AS dictionary to start. I think it also expands on the non dictionary parts.

I think the best bet for AS reference is macromedias site. They have the AS dictionary for reference online - and its probably the most correct and currently best updated.

Of course if you have any questions about anything in particular, these forums are great help too. First search ;) there has been a lot already said about... a lot. Then ask specifics and chances are someone will answer your question, sometimes in greater depth than you had wished for like with this (http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12181).
