Need some serious help!
I am trying to learn how to use Flash MX, but am having very little luck. The tutorials they provide with the program are very confusing to me. I need a tutorial that will start at the very, very basics (step one) and will let me follow through. I am a fast learner as long as I can understand the tutorial, so I can probably have the basics down in a day or less, but I just cannot follow the tutorials! It is especially hard because Ic annot figure out how to make the tutorial stay viewable at the same time as the work file that I am supposed to be learning from. So I have to click back and forth between the work file and the instructions. Plus I have found some things don't work as the instructions tell me. I had to fiddle around with one thing in the work file until I just stumbled upon the answer because the instructions were either wrong or else I just missed something and happened to find another way to get the thing done.
Basically, I need a tutorial that is similar to the one provided with the program (in that it goes in an order, starting with basic one thing then progressing to the next until I know all the tools and basic things, then moving on to advanced) or a series of tutorials that will do this for me. I have found some tutorials that look easy to follow, but I am not sure where to start. Are there any compresensive tutorials that go over several of the basics, like tweening, fonts, effects, text, the tool buttons, etc. all at once?
