Flash Tutorial:
http://www.echoecho.com/flash.htm

Great step-by-step tutorials for students learning Flash. Covers introductory concepts like drawing to more advanced topics like buttons and tweening.

I found this site while evaluating self-directed resources for my students.

It is mostly targeted at learners who have a high-school reading level and are able to work independently.

I am a technology integrator in Central Pennsylvania (USA). I believe that the future of education means that students work at different paces, and the instructor acts as a mentor - not the primary source of information.
