A short, practical update that builds on the helpful suggestions above from , , , and : community sites and game-focused tutorials are great starting points, but two facts matter for anyone reading this years later — pick the ActionScript version you need, and be aware that Flash on the web is now legacy.

Choose the right ActionScript version before copying samples. AS1/AS2 are timeline/script styles; ActionScript 3.0 is a redesigned, class‑based language with a different virtual machine and incompatible APIs — AS3 code won’t run under AS2 players. For any AS3 work, use the official AS3 language/API reference as your primary source. ()

A tiny AS3 example (add a clickable rectangle to the stage):

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var btn:Sprite = new Sprite();
btn.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
btn.graphics.drawRect(0,0,120,40);
addChild(btn);

btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("clicked");
});

Important context for modern readers: Adobe ended support and distribution of Flash Player on December 31, 2020 — browsers removed native support, so running legacy SWFs in a live site is not a recommended path. If you must maintain legacy projects, work in isolated/dev environments and follow Adobe’s guidance. If the goal is new interactive content, prefer HTML5/Canvas workflows; Adobe Animate can publish HTML5 Canvas output (it uses the CreateJS libraries) and that is a direct migration route for many animations. To run old SWFs for testing or preservation, consider the open‑source Ruffle emulator. (adobe.com)

Practical next steps: identify whether you’re maintaining or porting; consult the AS3 reference for API details; test legacy SWFs only in controlled environments (or via Ruffle); and for new projects, target modern JS/Canvas engines (CreateJS, PixiJS, Phaser) rather than Flash. These steps will save time and avoid security and compatibility problems when working with ActionScript-era material. (help.adobe.com)

One of my favorite sites is Flashkit.com -- they have all kinds of great stuff there. If you go either Movies or Tutorials, they usually have instructions on how to pull off the effects that you see there.

Good luck!
