Hello all,
need some advice and a push in the right direction.I want to learn action script to make flash games/applications just general creative behavior,and learn something cool and new.
i want to get started with action script, and bought a book called action script by derrick ypenburg
anyway i have a few questions:
1) i have never programmed (well only in basic on my c64 when i was like 16) are there many prerequisites to learning AS, i mean should i learn HTML / PHP first?
2) what is the best software to use to learn on? i was reading about flex...eclipse with AS3 plugin or should i just use flash cs3 / 4?
3) I guess i need to know Photoshop to make graphics etc? or is GIMP better?
any info appreciated...thanks in advance
