We are going to learn how to write our first basic CSS based HTML/XHTML page. The first thing to keep in mind is; we use HTML/XHTML to organize content into meaningful and logical segments or sections (data and information). We use CSS to make that content look great (layout and presentation).

Hi everyone and welcome to this newly created addition to Flash Journey; that is mainly aimed at learning CSS and the wonderful things that one can accomplish using this great technology.

I really hate it when books and some video tutorials tell us that they will teach us action scripting by using the phrase “knowing the nuts and bolts of code”. A person thinks that he will actually learn how to code at the end of the book or tutorial. On the contrary, we end up with plain basic nuts and screwed bolts that adds nothing to our knowledge.

Start Flash CS3 Professional (that’s the version I’m using so far), create a new flash file then save it in a folder of your choice, I gave it a name of hello with small letter. Afterthat, create a new actionscript file and save in the same folder or place you saved your flash file and give it a specific name starting with a capital letter, for example, Hello.
