there’s so many “mad flash professors” out there. actually few of them are able to explain as3. this tutorial can re-encourage lost flashers to a certain extend.

well done.

Thanks!

Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Come on—the owners of this site HAVE to enact some form of quality control. This does not work. Download his source—it’s missing vital pieces of scripting for this to even come close to functioning.

2/3 of this awful tutorial is devoted to his pink button gradients.

Shame.

Post RELEVANT, COMPLETE, and USEFUL tutorials if you want people to return to your website, and recommend it to others.

Epic fail.
