== Flash Tutorials==
 
This section only should index good and free tutorials. '''No''' junk indexes with nothing but advertisements.
There is a problem with Flash Version. Various Flash versions are considerably different and most sites include older stuff...
 
=== Web sites with tutorials ===
* Both just links or "real" repositories
* Since there exist very little Flash 9-only collections, I also include sites with older information. There is quite a huge difference between ActionScript 2 and 3, but drawing and the elements of the Flash environment (timeline, etc.) are not that different.
 
; Collections - both text and videos
 
* Lloyd Rieber's [http://www.nowhereroad.com/menu.html Flash Tutorials] (ActionScript 2, both text and video)
