Actionscript 3.0 help

Hey guys, since we'll only be getting into actionscript 3.0 a bit in this course, I wanted to let you know about some great free resources.  The following links have great forums that answer questions about actionscript, but even more important, have free tutorials about how to do certain things in actionscript.  Often they are ranked from "easy" to "difficult".  So if you want to know how to do something and it's not covered in the videos, look here first!  

*Note: Be sure to check if the tutorial is doing actionscript 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0.  You'll likely get confused if you look at earlier versions, so stick to actionscript 3.0 tutorials until you feel confident with actionscript.



Kirupa.com (also good basic tutorials on drawing, symbols, etc.)
