Starting Point
This <strong>Flash tutorial</strong> is the perfect starting point for anyone who has never used Flash before. Its main focus is getting you familiar with your <strong>Flash</strong> environment quickly so we can jump into coding. We will revisit these concepts in future courses.

Smooth Operator
Operators are as common as they are critical in any programming language. Their main roles are for testing and manipulating data. Rational, Boolean - comparison, and when does nothing = nothing?

Conditionals 2: 'switch'
Switch is another form of conditional. It can replace multiple <b>else..if</b> sections. Like the <b>if</b>, it also executes depending upon the given conditions but the syntax is much easier to read and write. Switch is slick!

Functions
Functions enable us to write chunks of code that perform an action: they can be reused, making our code cleaner and more effective. Play with this one: write your own functions!
01:22:45
Objects
Objects are our first complex data type. Boy are we gonna have fun with 'em!
01:08:09
Arrays
Intro to another complex data type, but the array is structured. How to use and define them: learn well, because you'll be seeing many, many of them in time to come. Create several different ones: push, pop and shift! (Geek speak for 'shake, rock & roll.')
01:12:56
Conditionals 1 - 'if'
Conditionals enable code to be more dynamic and flexible. The <b>if</b> statement tests a specific condition and runs code depending on the result: it can cause control to 'branch' to other code. Fun!

Loops The Final Fortier - Part 1
Say it again, Sam! (and again, and again...) Learn why repetition is a good thing, how to do it, where to use loops. Just think, you can kill Flash with this one! Leap in and learn.
55:52
Loops The Final Fortier - Part 2
"For" loops? You got em, now. What about loops that step through an object? How about nested loops? Learn how to break out of a loop, too - helpful to avoid killing Flash!

Extra:Looping with Carole
This is what happens when a student gets excited over coding - they come up with a cool new video! Not to be missed.
