Flash 8 / AS  for Games Book

Hello,
I will soon start developing a game in Flash (note: not
necessarily a webgame - it should be a standalone, also).
The game is an isometric managerial simulation, so i would
need to learn more not only about isometric tiles, but also data
handling, time (and the action of time over each asset and
environment etc), etc... A little bit about wind, etc would also be
welcome.
Any idea on good books covering those subjects (and other
subjects regarding RTS / Tycoon games)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi
A book I can recommend is "Flash mx 2004 game design" it has
some basics on tile games "top down and isometric" you can finde it
on Amazon
here
A good website is

  • When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

    When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow.   It's also not the fastest at anything.   Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

    Have no clue.  You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
    Which os are you using?
    How are you connected to the internet?
    Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
    Max out your ram.
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

  • CFFORM format flash - Looking for a book

    I am thinking about building a CF Flash based site. I have
    been testing and reading posts on the net. Seems that a production
    grade site will require ActionScript, lots of it.
    Should I be looking at ActionScript books or CF books?

    You can try to learn from here (and watch out for the famous
    32K problem):
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/
    http://www.asfusion.com/examples/
    Just a little advice and maybe you already know that the
    accessing speed of the flash form is pretty slow. If your users do
    not have fast internet connection, maybe you should change your
    mind in using cf flash. If you have an external site, maybe you can
    try to build a module in cf flash, ftp the module to your external
    site and test the accessing speed. If the speed is ok with you, you
    can continue on what you're doing.
    I have been doing many cf flash based sites for my internal
    applications only. But for my external (internet) sites, I would
    still prefer using cf html form. Because my audiences do not really
    have fast internet connection.

    Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - always download it from here. If you get popups or any sort of notice that you need to update it, don't follow it (mostly it's OK but there have been some malware doing this) - always go to the Adobe site

  • Edge or Flash HTML5 for Games

    Hi,
    Excuse my question but I am new to Adobe products.
    I am starting an interactive HTML5 game project.
    I am confused whether to use Edge Animate or use Flash CC with its new HTML5 support and CreateJS export.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks..

    If you want it to be compatible with iOS then you need Edge because Flash has been banned from Apple mobile devices because of power consumption(they said)!

    I have an Adobe Flash Professionals digital classroom book and was following all steps easily until it ask me to select the text tool and change it from classic to tfl in the property inspector. I looked and all that drops down is dynamic, static, and input. Where is the TFL and Classic ? I watched adobe learning center but he was using CS5. Can anyone please help?

    Hi,
    Do you use Flash CS6 to follow the instructions in the classroom book? If yes, then you can find it under text drop down for an AS3 Document as shown below
    If you follow the instruction in Flash CC or Flash CC2014 then you will not find this option as this is deprecated.
    Thanks!

  • Need adobe flash for power book g4 OS X 10.5.8

    need adobe flash for power book g4 OS X 10.5.8

    I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Is There a Compact version Of..flash player.? only for games.?

    Greetings. towards Support. of the this flash Program.
    forgiven me, for asking..
    I know. The flash player is, made for a large amount,
    different users. around the world, and also. made for. different
    functions. but I, keep seeing, ( as what I know from. video-Game supporting programs)
    That the adobe, flash player. Is not really made for. flash - Gaming..
    And I have been  taking your software apart. literal!!
    and I have seen from with in, your software.  That your. program deals with a lot.
    Of Functions. but Its most for adding and Chancing video. programs
    In to, a flashing form. of program, but I have not seen a Part where
    There is. a supporting Part, for (DX)=(Direct X - any version) even I'm
    Missing. (windows extensive service.) because when loading a Flash Game.
    from any website. I see only some, extensive program is load it. but I see, no..
    basic. support with, part being used.. nor There Is none. I, have found..Maybe,
    I have overlook, some part's but yet. If you program, don't come with basic download..
    (nor That might take longer to download. for any User.)
    but Its highly in-portent for a User. To having also. a basic Part..
    with in there own system, and not Sub-file
    because a Sub-file do, make the program more unstable. The stable.
    A, example, ad hand.. (Imvu Program) Is a Sub Program very nice 3D chat program,
    But yet, with many times Failer..to become active on, any system windows or,

    for Flash-Games That don't have everything but a smaller version, To all
    (DX versions)
    Greetings Lisomi

    We have a Flash Projector that can be used to play Flash content (.swf files) on a local computer.  This is used frequently in kiosks and interactive displays, but requires the SWF to run.
    Alternatively, if you are an application developer looking to build a standalone game, you can use Adobe AIR to build mobile applications, while still using ActionScript.

    Hi just wondering if you can get abode flash player for ipad as I can't play  a Facebook game on here without it ?

    There is no support for Flash in any iDevice by Apple.
    There are however 3rd party Apps in the App Store that claim to have Flash support. You can try browsers such as  Puffin
    http://www.puffinbrowser.com/index.php
    And see if the game can run on them. 

  • Adobe flash player for  LG Vortex

    well if its all true  that there is no way to put the adobe flash player on my lg vortex phone.then thats not good ..if there is a way please help thanks

    Ok I got this phone black friday. Its a nice phone especially for free but the sale people nor Zach apparently have been educated on the phone, or they are intentionally misrepresenting it. At best it comes with the flash lite player, so if you have a flash file it might play, but it will not view flash websites and actually play the flash content.  Skyfire browser runs the flash content for you so you can download that app and use it to access a lot of flash content you wouldn't normally be able to.  I don't know about bubs opera mobile advice because I can't get opera mobile to actually play any flash content at all...so I have no idea what sites he is getting to work. My guess is he is mistaking the mobile or html version of the site for the actual flash site when it isn't....are you actually seeing animations and flash videos play right there in the browser bub? 
    Furthermore from reading the android forums and researching online I have found out this phone is based on an ARM6 processor and there seems to be a lot of doubt that this processor is compatible with flash and will ever be able to use it except in limited ways through apps like skyfire regardless of how they attempt to update the froyo software for the phone.  The methods to install flash directly like  for eclair phones and stuff online to try and get flash to work on this phone do not work, have tried several times and haven't yet read one success story where the writer could actually verify the were viewing flash content for real. It seems again they are mistaking mobile or html versions of the site for flash sites. Yes you can usually view a site like syfy.com but you don't see the actual animated flash content nor can you watch the vids right there in the browser.  
    This phone was misrepresented to me by the sales people as letting you view flash content websites as they are meant to be viewed. If it can play a flash file, or at least let you view the non flash version of a website then I guess technically it is flash capable and the sales person didn't actually lie but they dang well knew I was talking about viewing flash content in browser because I straight up said as much. It was also misrepresented as a google experience device which it isn't...ya it comes with a google search app i think but the thing defaults to bing and tries to force you to use it every chance it gets and bing sux. 
    Overall I like the phone but I'm angry because while in the store i had a chance to use a 50 dollar instant rebate towards another phone and could have got a model that was truly flash capable with a faster processor (1ghz instead of 600mhz), a better camera or at least one with a flash and possibly more internal mimory  for a little more cash out of pocket. Instead they used the rebate to give my parents back the 50 right there in store instead of having to mail in the rebate and wait awhile...so chances are there is no way to get that instant rebate back and apply it towards a new phone if I use my 30 day option to return the phone for another...which btw they charge you a $35 dollar restocking fee to do on top of any extra cost for the new phone. 
    So basically because various verizon employees don't seem to know much about this phone or are intentionally misrepresenting it... I and probably many others will be stuck with a phone for the next 2 years that doesn't actually do the things we were told or led to believe it can do....not without spending a lot of cash out of pocket to upgrade at least, or waiting till our contract expires. It isn't flash capable, and because of the arm6 based processor likely never will be except in a limited way with apps like skyfire that basically do the flash content on their own servers and stream it to the phone, nor is it a true google experience device and the crappy processor means for a new phone it won't be nearly as fast or capable with some apps especially higher end games then other smart phones through verizon. 
    So this being my first phone through verizon, I'm overall satisfied but not impressed with the knowledge of the sales people I encountered in the store or the knowledge of their online reps so far. I could have ended up with a phone I'll get a lot more use out of and enjoy more but instead I'm stuck with a decent phone overall but one that doesn't meet my needs really.  On the upside you can use eztv app to download torrents, and an app called Orb to stream files from your pc to your phone in a quite watchable way even on the vortex, there are also remote desktop apps that are very handy so in most cases one way or another you can usually view the content you want on your phone some how....just not the easiest way possible in many cases.
