Q&A: FLASH 8 / ACTIONSCRIPT 2 GAME DEVELOPMENT?
Question by Backfire:
Flash 8 / ActionScript 2 Game Development?
I used to use Macromedia Flash 8 Pro to make Games, and I loved it. Problem is, I forgot all my game-making knowledge. Yeah, I havent used it for 2 years. I need to know a site, even if it’s old, for common scripts used in game making, ex. hitTest (Collision with objects), Movement, changing sprites, etc.
I think it just needs to be script for ActionScript 2. I WONT use ActionScript 3, because if it’s AS2 I will catch on faster because my memory will jog in. And i remember it being more friendly than AS3
I WILL NOT USE CS3, CS4 OR ANY OTHER VERSION OF FLASH, BECAUSE I LIKE FLASH 8 AND I FIND IT MORE “FRIENDLY” TO ME. Just needed to shout that cause I know people will state “just use CS3/4″ if I don’t

There are only HTML links, anchors.
You might want to rephrase the question.

You can do some interesting things with them, for instance opening the link in a new browser window without a status bar, address bar, buttons, etc.
The only major concern I can think of is that really old browsers just don’t support JavaScript at all and won’t even parse the scripts, let alone follow the links properly.

HTML is a language that creates all the beautifull colors in a webpage, and it helps you put the objects in place, replace backgrounds.. But Javascript is a small programming languages that can be used in an HTML page, but you can’t make Javascript pages, javascript is used to create an active interface like webforms or to solve some internet problems.. It’s a small interactive program online if this makes it more clear.
For the loading time well there is no difference since you can’t have a javascript page with HTML as the base.

If you want to rank good on the search engines stay away form generating links through JavaScript as long as it is possible. JavaScript generated links can be dynamic while HTML links are always static.
