Do you already have a game made and you just have this problem or you want us to do it for you? (it will never happen if so)

Actually Its not That easy learning flash especially when it looks like foreign writing to someone ☹ i know some of it like to stop and go and goto and stuff but i dont really understand the advanced stuff yet like… x.\_394bla… and i was just asking for some help on how to do it.

well persist :)…I taught myself flash from scratch and have been working with it for over 2 years…the first time I opened it up I had no clue what to do…just practice and don’t expect to understand stuff like Math.Random after 2 weeks of using flash!

Tsunami if the flash workspace looks like a forign language to you I suggest staying away from games for now.

hmm, to I would recommend trying out a couple of the tutorials in the actionscript special effects section here:
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/specialfx.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/specialfx.htm)
as way to get your foot in the water. Many of those tutorials are cool and not very complecated at all.

here is an example of a game i made, where missles fall from the sky and and you have to shoot them before they hit the ground, you can look through it, see how it works, and so on…
[http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/Building-David\_Do-598/index.php](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/Building-David_Do-598/index.php)
is a good 3 part game tutorial on making games, shooting, hit detection, score, scrolling land if you want it, and so on…

Many tutorials for tile-based games.
But the tutorials won’t make sense if you don’t know the AS involved, so you may want to see what they use, and further research certain aspects of the code (such as for loops for example)
