Community Help

There are many Web sites out there built solely for the Flash community. You should leverage from the huge knowledge base available at these Web sites. Post your messages in forums and mailing lists; more often than not, others have come across the same problems. Most of these sites also offer a huge resource — downloadable open source code — which you can peruse to work out how certain tasks are performed.

These resources are invaluable and an excellent way to learn more about Flash. However, you should download the examples and figure out how they work. If you simply download them and use them, you won't learn anything. Trying to understand them and working through all of the code is an excellent method for learning Flash.
