Hi all! The good news is that I'm just starting to use Flash CS3. The bad news is that I have to learn it while "unlearning" AS2 and Flash 8 and learing OOP all at the same time.
Background: I need to build a training course that will consist of a many independent modules and a central, perpetual menu system. In Flash 8 I usually build a single "parent" SWF, then create several empty "child" movie clips, and load external SWF files into the movie clips when needed. I also define most variables within parent SWF then populate/modify them from the child SWFs as needed.
Question: Does this approach work for CS3 apps or is there a better way of building a large training course in CS3? I'm not an advanced AS coder so I'd need to start off very simple. I do know XML but haven't used it in a Flash project yet.
Thanks!
