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?

I guess LineTo would be using vectors? Well.. yeah, must be.
No, I was just going to use something like onpress make circle update or something. I tried hacking up code to do that, but I couldn't work out how to make it repeatedly add with the button pressed down so decided I best actually learn what I was doing.

Colours and sizes is simple. I assume you're using LineTo? Just make the thickness and colour a variable, then a little menu for changing the variable. I made something very similar before. Reset buttons are useful too.

I wonder if it's worth investigating vector graphics instead of just repeating circles actually..
