    Hi folks,

    I'm looking to learn some basic flash, not so much for web design but for elearning modules. I'm currently using some rapid design programs (adobe captivate / presenter) that create flash output but can be limited at times.

    I have no clue where to start so any basic help (no matter how obvious it might seem) would really help.

    Many thanks

    I would recommend HTML also, along with JavaScript, most especially along with a JavaScript library such as JQuery.

    HTML is more future proof than Flash, and more supported.

    I know of a company that makes award-winning e-learning software and they use Adobe ColdFusion and heavy use of JavaScript prototypes.

    Can't offer much advice on using Flash other than to follow the tutorials that come with it or the many available online! I'd guess that you could probably even find code samples of what you want to create online.
