Notes on using this tutorial for the first time: (Note, I am using CS4)


 * On copying the ConfigXP folder - I'm not sure if this is a CS4 thing, but usually I just right click on the whole folder, choose copy, switch panels back to my own avatar, then click paste. The other explaination confused me, so I just did it the way I'm used to.  For some reason it also brought across all the symbols for the avatar (arms, legs etc) even though they weren't selected? But they were easy enough to delete.
 * I had three places to replace ConfigBody (start, the line that sets the avatar width, bottom)
 * Maybe put a Workaround for the flash bug at the bottom in a troubleshooting section? It kinda messes up the flow of the tutorial to have in the middle where we're still trying to understand how it works - maybe start out with a 'IF you notice this happening..."
 * Make it obvious at the start of the section explaining the image and colour config code that this goes in the main scene (yes you can see that in the example .fla but it doesn't hurt to reinforce that :)
 * In the displaying dropdowns section the copypasta'd reference to re-coloring needs to be changed in the last line.
 * Does is matter if there are spaces either side of the double quotes? I notice in color config it does, but in dropdoes it doesn't eg [?"state", "buarm", "sleeve"?]); <-where the question marks are. Should they both have spaces for the sake of consistency?
 * Note, if people get errors about undefined ColorMatrix, the need to update their SDK.
