Hello! Welcome to my first ever guide on my website, and today we will be focusing on one of Adobe’s greatest programs for graphical entertainment- Flash CS3.
I understand that not every one of you have the CS3 version of this program (Creative Suite Three), but I am pretty sure this will work for many different types of Flash. Since I am using Action Script 2.0, any version that has it can be used.
Beyond that, let’s get started! Remember, if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask! I also recommend you look over the script and type it out yourself, because you’ll learn way more that way. Of course, I’ll also include what the actionscript means- to the best of my ablity. I am no expert in Flash!
Today, we will be studying a topic a little more indepth than the regular tutorials. To complete this tutorial with the least struggle, I recommend you know the following-

• Basic Skills, such as drawing objects
• Making Movie Clips/Buttons/Symbols (Though this wil be explained)
• It would be nice if you had some experience with Action Script, even if it is [stop();]

Okay, so what is our topic? I’ll be guiding you through the steps of making a simple game; and it’ll teach you how to make your character move in all directions; how to obtain objects; and how to ‘talk’ to NPC’s. If I have time, we’ll also include a Health Bar and enemies.
And a second thought…. walls and hitTests as well.

NOTE: I have realized that images are all scrunched up on my blog. I will post the direct image links so you can click on them to view a full sized image.
