you will have to take classes to go in-depth to know what does what and to get some hands-on experience. That's the best way to learn, other than that, stick with the online tutorials. Or get a book like programming for dummies or something.

Well i really don't want to spend any money on it but my friend learned it without classes but he wont tell me how to do it.

Well, the online tutorials is better than some guys sit here and write specified how you script

Check This Site out.
Has many great online tutorials and i learned ALOT from them!

Just take your time..

okay thanks.

Wait i have to get flashplayer to do scripting?

Are you going to make a Flash application? you need the Adobe/Macromedia Flash program first, not just the flash player

no i just want to learn how to script.

yes, if you want to watch tutorials in newgrounds, you need flash player

of course i'm talking about action script

well i have flashplayer so ya i can watch the tutorials is there anything else you can tell me.

Well no i just need to learn how to script not this ting my friend says you can just use notepad.

sorry i meant thing.

Depends what you want to 'script'. If you do indeed mean Actionscript then you can't really learn without at least downloading a free trial of the full Flash software. This is needed to interpret your script and get it to actually DO something. You can type the script in Notepad of course, but nothing will know what to do with the code.

If you just want to learn the more basic principles of 'scripting', most of which apply to Actionscript as well, then I suggest starting with Javascript; for web-based scripting. You can test Javascript in your internet browser straight away to see what you've accomplished =]

lol ur the one saying get a life?

what are you talking about Nurvana
