Welcome to the Flash Cove!
Flash is a rich content, multimedia graphics tool used for web or mobile applications. The software enables the creation of interactive movies, videos, games, portfolios, and business applications.
Though Actionscript is a useful tool in development, it is not necessarily required for basic flash design; and any code that is needed in development of these tutorials is all located here on the flashcove.net site.
All that is needed to learn is a little patience, and the ambition and desire to develop multimedia rich web and flash applications!
I hope you enjoy what the Flash Cove tutorial portal has to offer!
Questions, comments, or concerns, I'm available at dave@flashcove.net
