How do you make a game in Adobe flash?

Answer 1

To create games with Macromedia Flash 8 you need to learn actionscript. Actionscript is a programming language that resembles Java and it is used to control objects (mostly movie clips).

To learn how to write actionscript you can perform a search for "flash game tutorials" or just "actionscript 2 tutorial" to find out more about actionscript. Flash 8 uses actionscript 2, so make sure the tutorials you find are using the appropriate version of actionscript.

Once you get the hang of it you can make your own games. Start with something simple, and work your way up to more demanding projects. If you get stuck and don't know how to write code to do what you want to happen, you can always look it up. E.g. search for"click and drag actionscript 2" and you will probably find many different code examples that do just that. Also the Flash 8 program has extensive help documents with information on how to learn actionscript as well as a library with all the possible data types and their methods.

I myself am still making my own basic games but you can basically learn everything there is to know using the internet.

Answer 2

You spend countless hours learning to program in the "action script language" then you learn how to use object oriented flash and then you spend about $400.00 to buy a decent program such as "Adobe Flash CS4."
