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
