flash (macromedia): ok so i got this book on flash it tells about action scripts and images and all
this stuff. this book mainly deals with making simple games. of course i didnt
think about it before but i know nothing about flash and this is definatly not
a beginner book. so now im stuck.

questions
what should i begin making (movies, small animations)?
how do you (view/run) you final project when you are done
does every thing in flash require code? do movies require code?

Hi,
Open Flash press F1 and start working through the Help docs. You'll quickly get answers to your questions.
Good Luck.
Cheers
