Q&A: DO YOU USE FLASH?
May 10th
Question by Lestat:
Do you use flash?
I’m creating a website, and I am using flash buttons, and I am looking for a script that can check my client’s browser and see if they have flash. If they do, I want to go to site a, if they do not I want them to go to site b. Are there any scripts for that that my client will not have to bother with the activeX yellow bar at the top coming up?

PROGRAMMING A GAME IN FLASH?
Mar 7th
Question by :
Programming a Game in Flash?
I’m trying to make a game in Flash. Not a 3D game. One like Evony. I dont know what to start learning first. I know nothing about it yet. But some people earlier stated To learn Action Script Cause thats the language that Evony is written in then ran in Flash. I downloaded a thing called Flash Develop because i had no idea. But now I keep seeing Flash professional CS5.5? It costs about 120$ Do i need to purchase that to put the code i make for a game in it to make it run? I am very confused on where to all to start to learn this and where to put code to make it run. But if you could pretend im 100% stupid(which i feel like lol) and explain to me how all this would work and what i should do to start learning actionscript from the very beginning please help me lol. I do not want to make a 3D game. Just one thats kinda like Evony but not even close just a concept like it. I have checked many other sites and all the tutorials just show all this code and do not explain how they got it. so i have no idea how or what things mean. I even downloaded the ActionScript 3.0 CheatSheet But i have no idea what it means or how to put it all together or where you even put it. In Flash Develope or what. But if these questions make any sense to you please let me know. Thanks!

Mar 1st
Question by :
flash window script….(not sure what to call it)?
Well i have a website that you play flash games on, and instead of making a webpage for EVERY game i have, i wanted to make it so you can just click on the icon, and (this is where it gets hard to explain, cause my example site is down for a while!) a tiny box appears in the middle of the screen and it increases in size to the size of the web-browser page, and it is slightly transparent and you can change the color of the window……. if you have an example to show me plz post it!
Yah, i want something like lightbox, but i dont now much code (and i dont make flash games) so i need something simple to customize….

PROS AND CONS ON FLASH VS GAME MAKER?
Nov 27th
Question by D:
Pros and Cons on Flash VS Game Maker?
I’m a programming major currently and have made a few small games in Visual Basic, and have taken a few courses in flash so i know many of the advanced features such as what action scripting is capable of…
Regardless I have been reading about a program called Game Maker, and off of the official site, there doesn’t seem to be much information about what this program is capable of…nor what the actual syntax (in the included programming language) is like…
So my question is, what do you think the pros and cons of using flash vs game maker are?
I would actually like people to answer that have experience using game maker.

Q&A: VARIABLES QUESTIONS FOR FLASH ACTION SCRIPT – PLEASE HELP!!?
Jul 18th
Question by pb:
Variables questions for Flash Action Script – please help!!?
if you can help me with this you will have my eternal gratitude, im about to go berserk!!
im building a web site, have my main timeline, and several MCs on top of it. each motion picture clip has a specific ‘chaper’ of the web site within it. All MCs are set to _visible = 0 and are on top of each other at the beginning. Then I have buttons on the main timeline, and after each button is clicked it’s supposed to set the corresponding MC to visible=1.
Here’s the problem – each MC has an animated ‘intro’ and ‘outro’ therefore i dont want to just go visible and invisible. I want it to play the animated part first.
I put a loop on the main timeline, and then had each button set the variable ‘chapter’ to a corresponding string entry. i have the main timeline check for the changing variable in the loop, and set the corresponding clip to visible=1 and tell target (each MC) to go and play corresponding frames. that doesn’t work. flash does whatever it wants with it!!
PLEASE HELP!!!

Q&A: FLASH 8 / ACTIONSCRIPT 2 GAME DEVELOPMENT?
May 19th
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
