The next steps

By completing the tutorial, you've accomplished a great deal in a relatively short amount of time. You've learned how to use ActionScript to set up a Flash movie's starting point, how to create commands and reuse code to make actions recur, and how to precisely control the flow of the movie. Using ActionScript variables and expressions, you know how to keep track of user activity in your movie and how to display changing content to your users. Finally, you've learned how to test your movie.

To continue learning about ActionScript, see the ActionScript Dictionary Overview and articles in the Flash Support Center. From the Samples folder within your Flash MX application folder, you can also open an advanced version of the puzzle.fla movie and deconstruct the ActionScript that was used to create a timer and animated puzzle piece.
