Useless as in irrelevant.
Thanks. Please answer (relevantly).
Either topic answers (game/animation) accepted.
Eh, I know you use Macromedia Flash. But anyone know how? I know its tough (especially for a 12 yr. old like me), but still,… There are heaps of, eh, 15 year old flash developers.
Posted in Flash Animation
flash games are made in a software called
“Macromedia Flash MX”
current latest selling version is 8.
action script coding of flash is very hard..
Use Macromedia Flash MX.
But I warn you it is tough, you have to be serious if you want to get into it otherwise it is not worth trying.

for flash you need microsoft flash player
or
game editor
its a program called Flash MX..kind of a trciky program if uve nevr used it..id take a course on it first
Dude forget about flash, its too difficult there are other programs but since your question is pertainng to flahs i guess giving u other programs would be inapropriate, so here goes use action scripting 2.0 ^_^ lol yeha i know this isnt any help is it? But if you click on the help menu itll give you an antire list of the action script ^_^ and ittl also explain what that script does niyahahhaha! Pretty useful eh? But remember they dont give you the user interface manula you gotta think of it yourself lol! Thats what makes it so difficult
Well, since the other people didn’t really answer the question, creating a flash game is really not that hard if you actually have decent knowledge of either a programming/scripting language, have used flash before, or can read a “game programming for dummies book”. Programming and computer programs almost (if not all) revolve around algorithms, step by step procedures from start to finish on what you are Turing to accomplish.
Anyway, here is how I would make my own flash game of something.
Step
1)Come up with concept of game, draw up designes of the UI controls, entire interface as well as any other details that may arise.
2)Draw UI controls
3)Draw entire UI
4)Make all backgrounds
5)Draw objects in game, such as bad guys, power ups ect
6)Draw animations for objects, and test them
7)Put all stuff from 1-7 together and then refer to step 1 on what I need to code, which cant be done any other way.
8)Write code
9)Test
10)Fix if necessary
11)Rinse, lather, repeat as necessary
By the way, if anyone says its to hard or you shouldn’t do it they are stupid. Using flash is seriously not that hard, using flash is somewhat like using a program like paint and some minor (lower scale) scripting, it just takes a few hours of reading and lots of practice just like anything else
