When I first started learning to program in Flash I stumbled upon Lee Brimelow’s gotoandlearn.com site.
It is an outstanding resource and over the years I have always thought that there needed to be a similar resource (in terms of quality), to Lee’s tutorials, except this time targeted towards a specific learner and specific use cases: Instructional designers/developers. There is a dreadful lack of sharing amongst elearning designers/developers on the web. I don’t know why that is, but it is. Try to find some quality examples of elearning on the web. They are hard to find. So hard, that places like Brandon Hall charges companies thousands of dollars just to give people a look at some.
So, in the spirit of paying it forward…here is my contribution to the elearning community…

Level: Intermediate (I suggest going through some basic tutorials first)

Note: I plan on adding an enhanced, XML-based version of this interaction. But I wanted to keep things simple at first for folks new to ActionScript.
