In this video, Doug Winnie shows you all of the ways you can customize your Flash workspace UI and then save the set up for later use.

Doug demonstrates how to test multiple conditions at the same time using logic operators. Learn to customize your project with more control using basic Boolean logic commands.

Conditional tests are only useful if you can do different things based on the results. In this video, Doug shows how to do exactly that with the “if” and “if...else” statements.

Doug shows how to test for different conditions in your application using Equality and Inequality Operators. Follow along as Doug builds a number of conditional statements, and then tests the results.

Boolean variables are the basis for building logic into an application.  Doug provides some easy commands to get you started working with Boolean variables.

Add drag and drop interactivity to Flash projects. Doug explains simple ActionScript statements that make drag and drop possible such as mouse over/mouse out and the start/stop drag method.

Controlling multiple objects in a Flash project can be tricky. Doug discusses using the Event Object to dynamically adjust multiple instances of objects with only a few lines of code.

Expanding on his previous video about working with timelines in ActionScript, Doug demonstrates using frame labels to create named frames and adding event handlers with AS3 commands.

Doug shows you how to work with encapsulated timelines in MovieClips, and introduces how to control internal MovieClip animations from the main timeline.
