Perhaps one of the easiest components to overlook in Flash MX 2004 is tucked

There are several properties of the component that we can get and set. These

In this article I will explain how Flash Panels fit into the grand scheme of
extending Flash MX 2004. We'll also discuss some of the benefits and pitfalls
you may encounter when using Flash Panels in your day to day work.
Through this tutorial, you'll create your very own Flash Panel to control the
rotation of Movie Clips on the stage using standard Flash MX 2004 components,
a hefty sprinkling of ActionScript and some tips and tricks along the way. I
hope you'll come away from this tutorial feeling empowered to create your own
Flash Panels, and to explore the capabilities and poss... (more)
