Building a Custom Cursor in Flash 5
This technique is one that no serious Flash designer should be without. I wrote this Flash 5 tutorial mainly for designers - as they may not have all the programming/action script experience they need to create great interactive Flash sites and presentations.Being a designer, learning action script has been a necessary evil for me - rather like 'motion math' in after effects. If you're picky about how your final Flash designs turn out, it forces you to learn many things you normally wouldn't such as the practice of programming.

ActionScript Programming Tips - Efficiency
One of the misconseptions of programming, is that even though if a piece of code get's something done, it isn't allways the right way. In this series we're taking a look at the efficiency of scripts. The more efficent your scripts are, the faster they are executed in the Flash player. In small projects this can only be a few millisecons faster, but in projects where a lot of calculations need to be calculated per frame, this can really give a boost to the frame rate.
