I need help knowing what a/s to use and why to use it.

Ok, i'm having trouble with a/s because i dont know what a/s to use.
I'm very confused about it because, some people use a/s that isn't there, (i think).
For example, someone put:
charinline = 30 (some other stuff)
and i was like (??????)
All i need to know is the basics of a/s then ill be set for flash.

check out this article written by our very own David: http://animation.centerspin.com/tutorial/level1/101page1.htm

its quite comprehensive about the basics of Flash with the basics of Actionscript starting on page 6. Great article :)

i've read one of these before, from the same web.
but didnt understand, so ill re read (if it is the same one)

well that is as easy as it gets. if you don't understand it after you read that article then take a break and try again in a little while because you won't find a single article in a book or on the web that takes everything as step by step as that. David has too much patience to write something as easy-to-follow as that article.

alright il read it again.
