Flash and You [Making Stuff]

[Slayer1]

So, right now your thinking "I feel like making a game, or movie in flash".
This is to help you do that, but;
First things first, get that thought out of your head.


You do not simply, make flash into mordor, you would need 6 years of experience before you can say you "Know Flash".
I will help you get started.

First of all, flash operates in two ways;

• 1. The use of Tools.
• 2. The use of Code.

Flash has several different Tools and Attributes that allow you to create the most dynamic and snazzy presentation on the web.
If you know how to use them.
Flash also comes with it's own coding language called Action Script. Action Script is what you would use for interactivity, like a game. Every button you press has at least 3 lines of code making it work behind the scenes.
Learning Action Script is like learning a foreign language, except way harder. The grammar of AS is the easiest, basically to make a replay button work you would say:

When the mouse clicks on this part, go to the beginning and play.

Now lets include the AS vocabulary. In other words, use the AS alphabet and wording.
The code would become:

On Release, goto and Play frame 1.

That kinda makes sense, right?
It gets harder, now we have to use the AS punctuation, which is the hardest part.

 onRelease, goto andPlay (1);

That's just a simple snippet, imagine pages and pages of that technoblabber.
Still want to learn flash?
If so, I'm glad your determined, and I will be back later to add more to this post.
