Coding Basics 1 Overview

What you'll learn

In Part 1 of our foray into programming, we will learn to fine-tune our initial setups and organize our files. We'll also explore techniques such as commenting out code, creating strings, and computing basic math through commands. Finally we'll introduce variables, which will be the focus of Part 2 of Coding Basics. Join us and learn how to program in ActionScript3 or for that matter learn the core of any language %u2013 in classic, fun 02geek style!

Intro

In this video, we will learn the basics concepts of coding in Flash. The main focus is on the output panel. Once we understand Flash's environment, then we learn how to manage the output panel.
