Man, I sure do love my Flash MX. I find myself using it to some extent in each and every interactive project I do, and it's even creeping its way into my motion graphics workflow on video projects as the straight-up QuickTime-friendly animation tool it certainly is capable of being. There's only one little, nagging problem. I'm finding that the more time I spend in Flash MX, the less time I'm spending on a Mac.

I'll sheepishly, but freely, admit that I watch "Friends," and have for quite some time now. So I didn't have to reach too far back into my vast library of mostly worthless television and movie quotes to assign Chandler's "can open, worms everywhere" line to describe the e-stack o' feedback stuffed into my Inbox about my recent predecessor to this tutorial, entitled "Killing the Undead."
