anyone know any g0od tutorials, im just starting out on flash, i just learned vb6 but i want to learn flash

i want to start the swf by pressing a key how do i do that?

It’s been awhile since I have worked in flash but I’ll give it a go.

Basically you want to have your movie loop through the first few frames, let's say 10 (action at frame 10 goto frame 1)
On the time line at frame 10 place an action “if frame 456 (# of frames in movie) is loaded then goto frame 11”
“Place” the button on frame 11 and on frame 12 again looping from one frame to the next. (action at frame 12 goto frame 11)
On the button object create a mouse click action that jumps to the next frame (13)
that would be the start of your movie (action onmousedown goto frame 13).

site has some good information on flash.

www.flashkit.com has a lot of good information and downloadable things as well.

yeah i figured it out, im still a n0ob but take a l0ok at what i did
