So there you go a quick look at variables and how they apply to actionscripting. Now to be perfectly honest if your still confused, do not fear. Total and utter confusion when starting something like programming is perfectly natural. Just take a deep breathe and start building some simple code. Then look at the movies section and dissect the open source there. But never give up and don't forget the flashkit board it's a great source of help. Best of luck.
The next tutorial on expressions will build on what we've learnt here. (coming soon)
