Flash 101

When working on a single scene Flash Application such as Zoomify, you can easily insert a splash screen to display instructions or terms of use. This can be done by inserting a scene before the application scene and setting it as a keyframe. Then add you text and graphics to the scene stage including a button. Under actions for the frame add a single line of code containing stop() which will prevent the user from seeing the application contained in the second frame. Click on the button and add to the Actions

on (release) {
nextFrame();
}

There are excellent video tutorials available at the Adobe Design Center Video Workshop. IfBin Also provides high quality flash and flex examples including source code through an interesting downloadable browser based interface.
