So for one of my classes (COS104, aka The Stupid Computer Class), I'm supposed to make a portfolio on this thing called Blackboard. Blackboard is the most ugly, unintuitive, unprofessional-looking web applications out there -- it's usually used to put courses online, and it's incredibly stupid. So I was like "yeah, I'll do this assignment, but I rebel! I insist on making a real portfolio!" I haven't learned how to make Flash websites so I was like "o, how hard can it be?"

Well I opened up flash (the labs here have it! woohoo!) and was like "errr...hunh?"

I've had some programming experience before (python, java, javascript, UML by way of bridgepoint [my computer science teacher wrote this particular program -- it's object oriented programming with classes and such]) so I'm not completely lost in actionscript.

Am I right in thinking that it ought to be set up like a whole load of different little scripts that activate themselves when you click on things? (like Javascript's onClick('function')) How do you make them separate -- are they different scenes or whatever? I might understand, maybe...lol I'm so confused. Am I on the right track?

how you use onclick depends on what element you are using. Flash is confusing and intimidating at first! That is what my website is built from. Go to:

//www.Oman3d.com
or
//www.tutorialized.com

Those should be able to help you out enough to get started.

Good luck!

you should get a cheap template from flashden.net or a similar site. it may help you understand the code better.

I'm in a Flash class right now and it's pretty hard at first but gets easier as you start to understand it. It's nice that you don't have to write code or scripts; Flash does it for you. I recommend getting an account at www.lynda.com and watching the Flash tutorials there.
