[Dooley7386]

Thanks for all the great video's i have learned loads n lods from you guys keep up the gret work....Jay

[firechild001]

Nice tutorial Adam. What would be interesting to see is someone actually do one all in AS3, nothing on the layers(except the AS3 code that is) or stage. I have yet to see anything like that... :)

[veegamble]

I was very impressed by the tutorials UNTIL I came across his tutorial about "enlarging boobies". That's offensive and very bad behavior.

Adam,

Again, Thanks for a clear concise basic tutorial that shows all the steps clearly and is easy to understand. I visit your web page and you tube account everyday and have learned a lot from you. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

This is why I don't like this guys tutorials. He always talks to people as if everyone was advanced and he just expects everyone who is new to automatically understand all his terminology and what he's talking about. I highly DON'T recommend newbies to watch any of his videos or if you're new to any flash programming.

Thanks for the video i'm making a website for my youtube channel..

[aDistortedMind]

ok it's alright now!

How do you get the preloader to work before the main content appears, i can't get mine to work.

[dtnyc5000]

@aDistortedMind, if you created a true functional loader (not a dummy), your content ought to be heavy enough to actually require some loading time. If that's the case, hit cmd+return twice which will force the viewer to simulate real waiting time based on the specs. You will find the same command on Main Menu View> Simulate Downlaod.. I hope this helped.

[aDistortedMind]

@dtnyc5000, Thank You!

rosaPokemon - Don't disapprove others teaching methods.

If you don't like the way Adam is teaching, that's your problem. I would go to say from everyone who has successfully completed Adam's tutorials like he uses a very easy and effective style of teaching flash.

I don't think Rosa is criticizing the teaching style as much as what is being taught. Putting code onto your time line instead of organizing it into classes and packages can get very confusing and messy. This type of tutorial is useless for developers who intend to compete in an industry that is moving towards OOP and away from procedural programming.

I stumbled on this video when I was looking for a cleaner way to structure flash websites. I was thinking of using document class, what benefits do you see from using document class over just variables and functions on the timeline?

[lizardX11]

@core215311 AS3 is not AS2 - While I like his tuts and I am not even saying that this video is bad or his way of teaching is bad.

Making things on timeline is not preferable especially when you are working with AS3. You can do it but it is not preferable.

[desXzigner]

nice tutorial, but how do i code my OWN buttons? it seems as though the only to get the coding is to download the buttons off of developphp... but how do i code my own???

[rosaPokemon]

What is there to prove? I'm not saying it's impossible building a website this way but it's is how you did things back in the early stages of AS2.

AS3 now have Document Class Support so there's really is no need putting a single line for code on the timeline. Any developer would prefer having everything nice and structured in a OOP environment.

OOP isn't necessary to apply in all projects but in larger projects, for examples websites, it's great.

Plus it's how everyone in the industry woks.

[VolcanicPenguin]

Not every developer would.

[trustchipper]

do you know how to make a custom flash player like youtube but customize it

reply back please

[rosaPokemon]

Don't teach people to make their sites on the timeline. It's really messy to have the code all over the place and you can't make full use of all the great features of AS3.

hi dr.nick xD

[ejeffre1111]

About 1/2 way through, you tell us to create the myMenu movie clip, then create a new layer on the myMenu and paste in the button. When I try to do this, I keep getting "You cannot place a symbol inside itself". I have tried numerous times and started over several times. Anyy suggestions?

[psychicimpaler]

It shocks me that Adobe didn't make, thankyou so much :)
