Does anyone know a good book for someone just beginning Flash game development? Rada gave me some very good online resources (if anyone wants to know i can post them) but since i'm away from home most of the time, I like to have a good book to read out on the road. Not surprisingly, there's alot of ...

I'm just waiting for replies from the other guys here because there were a couple other posts a little while ago about some good books. but i totally forgot what they were. Gyrovorbis and some other familiar faces recommended some good ones that i've been wondering about. So, since this is a good to...

Liveordie- i love that picture with Bush that you got there. If we can't be thankful for his good politics we can at least appreciate all his good antics! Not to stray off topic, the three resources pointed out here (one book and two online) seem like a powerful arsenal all combined. Can't see how a...

whats "MD" ans "MT" mean?

Cool guys, thanks. I've been wondering about that stuff. So sorting out the whole Python and BASIC dilemma, the quest for a good C++ compiler continues. I like the fact that both Borland and MS VC++ are both IDE's and not just compilers. Now which one to start off with? Well, I want to find the one ...

i still dont know what AS2 or AS3 are! i'll just wiki it :D as for flash, yea it all sounds great (i have to get a little finicky here) BUT Flash games just have that certain "look" if you know what i mean- i can't explain it but you can just point out a Flash game from the graphics, right...

To sort out some confusion I am having with my research, I have some questions about Python, BASIC, and C++. First off, I hear that Python is very similar to C++ and easier to learn making it a good place to start off for beginners who want to make the transition to C++. Can anyone varify this? Also...

I'm an Actionscript developer. I absolutely love it. having a graphics editor built into the IDE is really kick ass. I'd be happy to answer any questions about Flash game development. Flash can also be used with Adobe Air to create Win/Mac applications. I would like to know everything about it, but...

cuz it looks like theyre really touch sensative... not just your basic press a key and move. but otherwise, blowing up the ground isnt really stupid, just something different. maybe you can turn it into something or apply that conept to another game somehow. lookin good.

looks good but programming the controls must have sucked. why do you have to blow up the ground?

and not only that, but now i'm wondering if you can create something using C++ or Python, and make it playable through Flash (export it to Flash player or something), so you can put it online much easier. i know nothing about how that works though, so its just a thought.

awesome. sounds like youre really into it!

Sounds good, thank you. think i'll look into it a bit more. I never really had a desire to learn something similar to Java, but what the heck i'll give it a shot anyway. I'm really curious to see if i could use a seperate sprite editor like GraphicsGale along with Flash. I'm sure it's possible.

Very cool. what did you use to make it? was that MSVC++ i saw?

hmmm, makes sense. good recommendation.
