3 Newbie Questions

[marinebro0306]

1. Where is a good place to learn the type of Actionscript and JavaScript used in 3DFA? I've read some tutorials from JavaScript and Actionscript sites, but there are always some things that go wrong. Any ideas?

2. Where do I input the Actionscript script? In the start script? As another element?

3. If I use tutorials designed for Flash MX or any others, can I still do those tutorials in 3DFA? What changes do I have to make since different things are called different names?

That's it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. What does the scripting error "Expression could not be resolved" mean and how do I fix it? I get it when I copy and paste Flash MX Actionscripts into a script element or the starting script.

Thanks,
Jeff

1) the Scripting is close to Actionscript 1.0 But not exactly. Best bet is to read the help file (actually pretty good source of info)

2) The start script is run when you movie starts. Scripts as Elements once every frame by default. You can set it to do it less often but I've never found that to be needed.

3) NO the action script has to be changed a good bit. But they can be good starting points.

Expression could not be resolved means you have done somthing wrong in the code.
