Hey!

I have recently started to play around with the Flash.
And would like to creat platform games, like 2D.
For example: a Megaman or Metroid kind-of-a game.

But before I start to ask a bunch of questions, I will just simply ask if anyone here knows anything or the basics about Macromedia Flash?


PS: Don't give any links to tutorials because none of them will teach me the things I want to learn. I have search for tutorials for several weeks now and none of them helped me.

Flash isn't the best place to program games. You're better off learning C++ and using a 3rd party graphics engine. I don't feel like actionscript is a very useful language for programming games. If you want to make a game in flash, you'll have to learn actionscript from top to bottom. For that I can't help. I don't know much more about actionscript than how to create a preloader for an animation.s th

Well I have just recently played some internet flash games, and what I saw of them they seemed to be pretty nice games. Which I also believe was made in Flash.
Some tributes for Megaman and Metroid were also made in Flash, but unfortunately they never give away the sourche code.

However, I have this far been able to get a "character" to walk left and right, and also to jump and shoot. But still, it's a one-frame-long-game... Metroid and Megaman have very long levels like over 20 frames long and different hidden secret rooms. And that's what I would want to do also.

Btw, Luckie, does that rabbit say "I will eat your heart" or "I belive you're hard"???

"I will eat your heart"

"I will eat your heart"
LMAO

Incia, you're beyond me as far as the game programming goes in flash.

If you're new to flash the last thing you want to do is to start trying to make 2D Games.

I'm not quite new to Flash, and the only thing I want to do is 2D Games, lol.

Well, it won't be easy, but try www.flashkit.com for some good tutorials.
