I'm rather interested in Actionscript, but I haven't seen any tutorials that fit me. I know some Pascal and a bunch of Python. A bit of Brainfuck too but that's useless. Where can I learn?!

[___]

I'm going to go out on a limb here... http://www.actionscript.org/ :I

[Hideous]

Hahaha, alright.

[Flink]

I know your swedish so check out http://webbdesignskolan.com/ , there are a couple of tutorials how to make a tile based game with action script.

[Hideous]

Hm. Seems interesting.


EDIT: See, I'm the kind who has trouble learning from tutorials. If you give me the source code for a game though, I could probably figure it out and learn that way.

Well, if you seriously mean that there's quite a few open source Flash projects.

A word of warning - you don't want to be reading things written in an earlier version of Actionscript than 3.0. There have been substantial changes to the language and even bigger changes to the Flash libraries since earlier versions.

Also, if you're familiar with Javascript... Actionscript is basically identical.

You win. Thanks :D


Also I basically have my first game done. I only have an enemy that follows the player and going to a certain frame when health = 0 left. Can't seem to get those to work.

feel free to hit me up if you need help

Trust me, I will need help

Also flashkit's forums are really good if you get stuck.

Yeah, was going to suggest Flashkit too.  It used to be pretty decent.  It was a pretty wide range.  A lot of new people asking questions, but also a lot of pretty experienced developers answering most of them.  Questions usually got answered fairly quickly and friendly-ly, back when I used to hang out there.  (Was several years ago, so I take no responsibility if in the mean time they've turned into some strange internet-mad-max wasteland where bands of roving forum trolls kill one another for control over gasoline.)

Also http://www.8bitrocket.com have good tutorials when you're code with AS3

That's pretty much what it's like during school breaks :/
there's topics like "help maek gta game", "how can I pause my game??!"
and "best rpg idea ever!!11". But usually there's very talented and
professional people helping each other and less experienced developers out.

Totally OT, but the header for their logo is from Uridium 2.
See?

No, it randomly changes.

You may want to check out haXe (pronounced hacks). Its a sane strongly typed language that compiles for JS, SWF (6 to 9) and its own server-side VM. Also its free, open source and all that stuff.

neat-o I think I might have to check this haXe thing out this summer, I've wanted to get bigger into action script, but I really don't like the insanity of the language.

[Bad Sector]

I wouldn't developing Prisoners of Puzzle if it wasn't for haXe. ActionScript 2 is teh suck (also haXe is opensource/free and multiplatform, while AS2 needs the Flash IDE which is costy and runs only under Windows and maybe Mac).

[X-Tender]

Haxe is probably a good alternative for Indies and People who cant effort Flash or Flex. But I by myself stay with Flash9 and AS3 =o) <3
When someone have some Flash Problems, you can PM or ICQ me.
