I'm a novice, and I was wondering the best way to gain experience using Flash. Do any of you have tutorials that you might reccomend?

I would recommend the tutorials in Flash, and flashkit.com, they have loads of tutorials.

I recommend that you get your hands on a book of some kind. Normally I am a hands on, just look and go person. But with flash I found it much easier to work with a book for reference. Once you break the ice it's not much more difficult to learn new things.

Good luck guys :)

Do you know any books that I can look for. I am planning on going to the local barns and nobles later this week. Or are you referring to E-Books?

Flash books, or get someone who has a lot of time on their hands (particularly a friend who you know) that will help you :D

Thanks for the suggestions.  I learn best by reading before doing, so I'll be sure to pick up a book soon to help me learn flash.

I probably should go buy a book, but my parents would freak out if I asked to buy other computer-related book.

That's funny, Skuld.  I would think they would buy you lots of computer books so you can get a good job and support them when they get old.  Not that most tech jobs pay that great anymore, depending on what you go into.

I would recommend going through basic tutorials (google is your friend) - learning your way around the program and understanding the concepts of flash game creation.

There are always college classes. I find when I teach myself through tutorials, I get bored. But in class, I can get bored with people :)
