Studio 8
My copy of Studio 8 still hasn't arrived from Amazon. I've downloaded the 30 free trial from Macromedia but haven't actually done anything with it yet. I have a couple of days off in October so perhaps I'll get a chance then.
I'm looking forward to learning ActionScript 2.0. The thing I'm most grateful about is the "class" concept instead of the old method that I never really quite understood. My C/C++/Java background shows through.
I'm also looking forward to going back to the Flash 4 (very primative) ActionScript to work on a couple of cellphone ideas. I don't expect them to ever get onto a real phone but sometimes concepts are all the matter. Don't count on the game toolkit working for it though.
I got a comment. /cheers. The question was how to learn Flash programming.
1) To start, find a book at your ability level. Long ago, I told Rich I should write a book called "Programming for Artists." A couple of books already exist. I haven't looked at them though to see if they are any good.
2) Find someplace with lots of examples. Eventually this will be a good place for that. Not yet.
3) Write lots of code.
