No worries. When you're back in however many months, bear in mind that this particular article is written for ActionScript 2.0, which has many differences from AS3. If you want to follow these particular steps, make sure your FLA file is configured for AS2, or glean what you can from a concepts/principles standpoint. One day I'll update this tutorial for AS3 as well. katie,

This is exactly one of the things that made me want to learn flash. Ok, I'll come back and leave a genuinely intelligent comment on this in about 6-18 months.

(Yeah, there are a number of good tween engines out there. I haven't tried them all yet, but almost every last one seems much more robust &#8212; and often easier to use &#8212; than the native <code>Tween</code> class.) var,
