nicks comments made

Thanks for rating without clicking...

Not sure why someone has rated this 'terrible'.

Thanks for the tips - I'll take them on board! :)

Very odd. It's working from here

hmm, what about now?

Cool effect

Thanks - Glad you've found them useful!

Thanks! :D

Pretty cool - I like the look.

Nice little application you've made there. Some improvements would be to use a loop to attach and rest the buttons, rather than manually typing out all of them. Anyway, good job!

For me, the tutorial is over complicated. I would have just created the 2 text fields manually, assign x & y variables to them and just put this on frame 1:

this.onMouseMove = function(){
x = _xmouse;
y = _ymouse;
}

While adding listeners and creating text fields with code is nice, it's harder to explain to the novice, especially when all you want to display is 2 values.

Well explained, a decent effect and some actual explanation of the code (!!). I minor gripe is that I think the smoke would be better suited to something like a chimney, but maybe that's me being pedantic. :P One of the better flash tutorials IMO.

Hi. This tutorial has a good explanation of the two main types of button, and is quite thorough. I would have mentioned somewhere that you can use movie clip symbols for buttons, which allow greater flexibility than regular button symbols. A good tutorial, nevertheless.

Very detailed explanation - Recommended for beginners.

I'll like the outcome and it has a nice and detailed explanation.

I'll take that on board, Eli. I know someone voted this a 1, and i don't mind that, but it's nice to have some comments about what they didn't like. I appreciate the feedback - Thanks! :)

Thanks Chris - You learn something new everyday :P

You can preload it to make it load bit by bit, just as it would with HTML. I agree with the search engine part though.

I kind of agree with Dylan. Several of the "actionscript" tutorials may look "cool", but a lot of them also include steps like "paste this code on frame 2". I'd expect tutorials in the actionscript section to at least explain some reasoning behind part of the code.

Hmm, I'd be interested in the comment for why is got a 1/5.
