Before You Ask A Question

Question posted by: kestrel (Moderator) on June 24th, 2007 02:48 AM
Many people ask simple questions suck as, "How do i make a button in flash?" The answers to these questions can be found all over the internet in numerous articles and tutorials, so posting a thread is pointless. The first step before asking a question, is to always search Google.

"But Kestrel, my question is way too complicated to be in a tutorial." However, you'll be surprised with the number of tutorials out there.

You can find tutorials on
  • Calculating square roots
  • Collision Detection
  • Flash forms
  • Simulating gravity
  • Creating Graphs
and thousands more.

So please, search Google before you post, it will save you time and energy.

Re: Before You Ask A Question
This is a good point!

I also find the Flash help files a great resource but it does require some understanding of terminology. The more I understand AS the more helpful they become.

To all beginners out there I can't stress enough how important it is to learn proper debugging techniques. Flash help has a debugging section. I suggest you read it. My learning curve increased dramatically once I understood how to debug correctly and it feels good to solve your own problems.

Just my two pence worth.
