Since you’Re here, get started by getting flash. Then read the kirupa forums…and learn my young padawan!
Well, if you have flash, I have two tips:
1.) Make everything a movieclip i.e: Say you have an arm, a body and a head. Draw them on separate layers and make each a movieclip. This saves time and make your art very easy to use and animate. A game is an intermediate-advanced task that takes effort, will and skills. You learn what you need by expirimenting with Flash. If you work hard, you will finish your game
2.) Use the movieclips you made. For example, for my current game, I have a character move by arrow keys, and when he moves, instead of sliding, a make an animation of him walking for it. Everything is a movieclip.
Heroclip=my guy
-3 frames with a clip in each frame
-in frame 1, I have him standing
-in frame 2, I have a MC of him walking, to be looped
-The clip runs for three frames and loops back using gotoAndPlay(2) on the frame 5
- In frame three I have a clip of him firing.
I won’t post the code for him to move (I don’t have it on me) but to play the walking anim, I used a simple gotoAndPlay action for the movieclip. If you don’t know it, look it up in the AS dictionary.
