Learning Flash and Actionscript

So I started learning flash and Actionscript 3 (AS3) this week. I first started with the basic multitouch app posted on the nuigroup wiki page, and eventually was able to get it to create red circles on the screen whenever I touched:

The circles dont go away after you touch them so that's why you see a lot of them.
I then started to make my first basic cursor app. Following some tutorials online I made the below app (click the white box and move your mouse around it):




It is written in Flash 6 and AS2, which is far lower than any of the multitouch apps require, and am in the process of porting it over to the newer code...so stay tuned for word on that working.

  2. I cant remember the exact website I based the above cursor app on, but I simply did a google search for "as3 tutorial" and found lots of helpful sites. One in particular was: http://www.flashandmath.com/
