Actionscripting from scratch

[fergus]

Hi,

I'm really stuck! I was wondering if anyone could help me locate information/tutorials on actionscripting. I would like to learn it from scratch rather than copy pasting some-one elses code into my files. Is there a comprehensive text online I could follow that takes you through what all the terms mean, what they are used for and then how to use them....

Thanks very much for your help!

kirupa offers some very nice tutorials, you first copy and paste, then go back and examine what the code means. it is very helpful when you're first starting out (heck, it's still helpful to me and i'm not quite a n00b anymore :P [well... i am compared to some people...])

Window/Reference in Flash brings up the Actionscript Reference, from there you can look up the documented AS commands and read what they do and usually how to use them.

Or you can use the online version here:
