Im making a movie and I dont know how to add pictures, or how to really do anything like animations...... If anybody can help me out I would be happy :)

You are asking about basic usage and the best thing you could do is read the help, and look at the examples. They do a better job explaining the basics than I'm likely to do in a message.

Hey I'm new to 3dfa too and the programm looks cool and stuff..
But i don't understand it too well =/
I worked with Macromedia flash MX befor and i understood that good..
I already have 3dfa 6 days and I'm TRYING to make a game but I only have a preloader
(thx to Blanius for his good tutorials) and some explosions to get a nice intro..
is there any way to work like frame to frame way like Macromedia
Or do you guys have some good Beginner Toturials..
Anyways you guyz rock =P

3dfa is designed to NOT use the frame approach. Frankly no one really uses frames much in Macromedia ethier, first thing most people do is put in a stop action and then code the action script in the first frame.

Look at the game samples for ideas on how to go about it.

Hey guys!

BLanius is correct. Look thorugh the samples, especially the games. With that said, please don't mention frames. The frame approach definately does not work. It could be me :) , but the 3DFA approach has always been the best from what I can tell. Trust me, I've used FLASH MX and others that use the frame approach. Not good :yikes: . Other help is to look at Lopez1_de's examples sticked at the top of this forum. He's helped me a bunch.

Ok thx, but.. I think you can insert scenes but when I add my first element (or when I add the first event, I don't know which one) the whole "add new scene" thingy disappears :S
