I wrote the first version of this tutorial a couple of years ago. This update includes answers to some of the most commonly asked questions I have received regarding this tutorial since then. I will continue to update this tutorial on my website, Cowfly.com.
This tutorial is meant to build from information presented in one section to the next. To get the most from this tutorial, it should be read from beginning to end. This tutorial will attempt to use ActionScript techniques that are familiar to the intermediate Flash programmer and that are easily grasped by the less experienced.
