FLASH: Aaaggh - Flash 5 programming

[Jefferis Peterson]

I've read through most of the action script reference and manual, but I

am disturbed by my inability to apply the abstract descriptions of the

various functions to real life examples. {I learn best by doing!}.  I was

told that the new manual would have more instructions, but I don't see

life applications in the Lessons or Help beyond the basics - nothing in

the programming arena. 


I'd like tutorials that show how to z index and scale objects with mouse

clicks, e.g.,  I find that just looking at the already done examples

doesn't help me as much as the tutorial method where I follow along...


I am also having trouble creating a simple loop for 5 iterations in Flash

5 compared to the relatively easy coding of ver 4.  I can't figure out

why it isn't working, except the syntax has all changed. If doesn't let

me add an else statement, which makes me feel a bit crazy... else is dimmed.  


I am also concerned that the majority of the Flash 5 coding is not

exportable to flash 4.  I expect to use flash 4 for publication for the

next 6 months until the browser base is built up to the more current

players... 


Okay, so where do I go to learn the application of the scripts?
