Back to the Timeline

If you hadn’t been checking recently, FE has been doing a series on Timeline management. It covers both the IDE in the Flash Authoring Environement and ActionScript to manage and control timeline features. There are quite a few tips and tricks I have provided along the way. I wanted to make it different from any other tutorials that have covered this topic in the past. I delivered it with the content I felt would help anyone needing to use the timeline in real-world situations. The lessons also cover important topics such as dealing with framerate, code organization on the timeline and useful alghorithms to manipulate tweens on the screen. If you haven’t already done so check it out. (This series is available to members). Click here to visit.
