Flash KnowHow

[clasione]

Anyone have some good recomendations for Flash MX tutorials? I would love to learn it...

I've tryed a few times to use Flash but I just wind up wasting 5 hours and getting nowhere.... One of those thing that seems hard to just jump right into and learn....

Looking for nice easy tutorials that teach you basically on feature at a time....

You might want to try your local community college. Offten (with the speed of change in the industry) the schools change the text that they are teaching from. The information might not be up to date (as in last months) but it will give you good firm ground to start from. And more often than not, most of the books are easy to follow and lean from.

If you are looking for a very helpful and impressive site, check out http://www.kirupa.com.
This site focuses primarily on flash tutorials and ideas.
He has interviews and tips from the top flashers in the business.
Some great tuts for scripting and graphics as well.
The owner of the site is a young guy who is an MIT student and published a frontpage 98 manual in his sophomore year of HIGH SCHOOL! a good kid and true innovative genius in the flash community.
Also my company specializes in flash that is fast using alot of action script as opposed to just timelines so feel free to email me for some more ideas, i love to help. I was in your shoes awhile back.
I also recommend getting Flash MX Bible as good "how to" as well as a good reference manual.
Good luck and keep on flashing.
