At the moment I'm trying to develop a paint program in Flash. Surely that can't be a massive project to start off learning for?
I mean... just get something to be made at the cursor location, repeat it as long as the button is held down, sounds simple enough. Adding different colours, sizes and undo etc is the next step, but if I can draw lines on a page then that'd be awesome.
Good sites for actionscript beginners? I bought a book for the hell of it (game design demystified, an actual OFFICIAL Macromedia book.. did they even read it? Christ it's bad) but that's pretty much zero help.
So yeah, I'll google anyway, but anyone (monkey_man?) know of good sites for learning?

Even though I just said this to you anyway.. awesome!
Dug up an old thing I made, spruced it up a bit: [URL]http://www.threecircles.co.uk/draweythingamebob/[/URL]
The .swf is here: [URL]http://www.threecircles.co.uk/draweythingamebob/drawing.swf[/URL]
And the .fla is here: [URL]http://www.threecircles.co.uk/draweythingamebob/drawing.fla[/URL]
Most of it is done in the root, just look out for what instances are called what, and how they are targetted by the AS. Enjoy!

Damnit.
Because the drawing is a single object called 'line', it changes the whole colour.. trying to work out how to leave it as seperate objects.
And really need to stop you from being able to draw on the buttons too. Whoops..
Changing thickness is MUCH harder, I can't work that out yet.

That site is awesome, thanks for that. Can't believe I wasted my money on this stupid book.
Ah, most of that stuff is built in, just need to learn how to make new movies, instances, stuff like that.
