Say one is interested in starting on Flash projects, such as games or movies, but they don't know where to start. Which program should be used (please don't just say Flash)? What are the most useful techniques? How is the Flash film put together? I'd like to learn how to do Flash, but it's never been explained to me. So, how do I begin?

Obviously download Flash first. Whether you pay for it or not, and how you go about not paying for it is up to you.
After that do some googling and learn about how the timeline works and stuff, nothing code-related but just a basic understanding of the tools and the interface. then head over to http://www.flashgametuts.com/ where a guy very helpfully creates a bunch of games and walks you through all the code, explaining what each line is for etc. Hope this helps at least a little. |

Don't make the mistake I made, if you DO actually wanna learn flash.
Learn AS3 and NOT AS2 Just look up 'as3 beginner flash guide' or something like that on google. _________________     early 2k nostalgia mode |

yes absolutely. AS3 is in every way a superior language, and overall teaches better programming practices.
