I'm totally new to this. Can someone please tell me how to use Flash for various things such as making cutscenes and movies to making games. Please help me. I've got a great storyline in my head for a game, but I haven't an idea how to make it. I would also like to make it with minimal help so that I could take more pride in my work (sorry if this sounds selfish). Again, plz help if u can.

There are plenty of tutorials that you can read in the following section: http://archives.mcleodgaming.com/viewtopic.php?t=5578

It says the links don't exist.

Sorry, my bad.

I cannot edit the Urls since that place was closed down. So Instead change the word forums to archives as shown below.


Thanks for pointing this out...

No prob.

(Sorry for the double-post)

This may sound n00bish, but where do I download Flash? I just got Flash10 off of Adobe.com, but I can't make it work.

You have downloaded flash player 10,wich is necesary for seeing flash documents.But to use flash,you must dowload flash CS4 or any other from adobe page.

I would NOT get CS4, it's laggy, and has very few features over cs3, and trust me, I have a good computer.

I second that, having used 8 and CS3 for a while now - when I updated to CS4 i was eager to see how many improvements were made - to my horror they pretty much annihilated the program. The ONLY decent thing I have used on it so far is the Skeleton type tools but since that i've gone back to CS3.

The layout options in CS4 are horrible - you'd have thought they would have given the option to use a traditional layout for those who have gotten used to it over the years but as far as I can work out, certain toolbars can only be left floating and not docked - something which has always bugged me - I like to feel everything has it's place in the window and not just allowed to float freely - others may disagree though

Oh, and if you don't have much money, you can get Flash 8 on Ebay for around $40.
