very good
this was most definately one of the better tutorials i've seen and amazingly it hasn't really been done before. there's been plenty on the special stuff like cursors or games and all that, but not really a good getting started one. i remember looking for a good tutorial to help me get started on flash, but i could never find one so i had to figure it out on my own. this is a great tutorial and i'm guessing it'll be used quite a bit. i'm probably gonna even refer sucky people to this every now and then. great job and keep it up
