[FlintP]

Ok i have a programme called Flash MX i would really like to make a little game and become bigger some day. so i am jsut new to Flash MX and i dont know how to even make a clip i would like to know how to jsut make a object move around the screen by arrow keys and which tutorials should i do to learn this


Please Please help me i really really want to become a games maker some day !

[DarkReality]

www.actionscript.org/tutorials

www.kirupa.com

Check those two sites, go through their tutorials, and then you'll know quite a bit more.

Ok i need something really really easy because i dont even understand codes lol!

.....Then give up. If you're not willing to put at least SOME effort in to try to understand what's in the tutorials, we aren't going to be willing to teach you.

[denacioust]

Is that not what he' asked for, basic tutorials.
Don't give up keep trying.
Try look through the flash samples, try making movies first and keep going before trying scripting, familiarise yourself with the tools and effects you can do, belive me its more rewarding to make a good movie than be frustrated with a bad game. Then move onto scripting start off at www.flashkit.com and read through and try all the beginner tutorials. When you've done that try remaking them from your own memory and then move on a level.

I'd recommend going here (http://www.w3schools.com/flash/default.asp) to start off. It has basic animation methods in flash, and will help get you used to working in flash.

u should practice with animation before going into scripting.

after that u'll brobably fool around with smaller codes involving the timeline(play(), gotoAndStop(), ect...)

then u will move onto buttons and gradualy get into scripting.

[Bodadem]

Once again, go to w3schools.com (the link in my last post), and you will learn basic animation, and it also has a good explanation of how to make buttons. w3schools is better for just starting out because unlike most sites, it assumes you have very little or no knowledge of flash.

Oh guys cheers a million i have made my self do the lessons and i have made my own clip and also had a go at making my own cursor

Ehich kinda worked hehe!!

[FlintP]

Ok i've done all those http://www.w3schools.com tutorials and the ones from flash whats next?

[denacioust]

Just keep messing around now for a while fully understand what you've done.

[FlintP]

Do you know what site can provide my flash movie for free on the net?

[Freddy]

there are lots of places to upload files for free.

I just use www.walagata.com just because its quick and easy. There are a bunch more.

[FlintP]

Ok how do i convert a file into a file which i can upload a swb. or something like that?

[The Brown Cow]

SWF (ShockWave Flash)

When you publish the file or test it, a SWF file will appear in the same directory as the FLA.

[FlintP]

Here i made it by copying and pasting the codes from Car Problem Thread <---- is thta orite if so i have it here

img132.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img132&image=Rocketswb.swf

[Freddy]

try putting the url in the right tags.

your_url

insert the correct width and height yourself.

[arkhan]

well..it is correct..even if copying and pasting isnt half the work..you gotta read throug the code and understand it, so you can learn somenthing out of it...cos all this copying and pasting doesnt help you very much when you r trying to develop somenthing..
