Okay, so I just downloaded the adobe flash proffesional CS4 trial. i would like to get a small game done by the time this trial is over. I would like to use actionscript 2.0, because it seems that it is easier to use because everyone here is already using it.

If anyone could tell me where to start ASAP, please. thanks.

PS: I should also mention I have never used flash, actionscript, so I am pretty much clueless.

Hey there, I appreciate your eagerness to start creating games in flash but as with most things - it takes a lot of practice - especially if you have never used the program before. There isn't really any other way for me to tell you that you probably won't have gained the skills needed to make a game in 30 days - granted if you have experience with similar languages it might sink in a bit quicker but it's wont make the process of making a game that much quicker.

You need to really buy the program, sit down and learn to use it as much as possible before approaching a project like this. I dare say you could make a very small game (or at least the basics) in 30 days if you stick at it but if you would like to give it a go - then I suggest reading through some of the tutorials here: http://archives.mcleodgaming.com/viewtopic.php?t=5578 or by searching google for other tutorials.

If you want to make a small game I heard that AS3 is easier but in this forum we only now AS2.But in newgrounds Im sure that you can find some tutorials.Here is the link for the AS main:

By simple game, I meant like a beta. for example- I'll be hapy if I can just leanr (just) how to make a character move, switching the image, so it's moving, like in the first ssf. I got a bit done already,
