New to flash (well, sorta)

So I just got Flash CS5. I've worked with it before in high school but I've forgotten some things about it. The most I know right now is how to motion tween. What I'm asking is for some good tutorials/help or anything that could help me in starting a project or two I wanna do to pass time.
I want to create a small game or two, but I'm not sure where to start (on the creation of it). If anyone has any good resources for games that'd be nice. Also whats a good type of game to start making? I've been thinking a gambling game of some sort maybe.
I want to also maybe create an animation short (1-3 minutes). I'd like a tutorial on basics on how to import and use sound, move body parts of certain 'characters', and any other relevant stuff.
My priority is the game, though. I'm not too good at writing stories it seems.
Thanks!

>>When using flash is there a typical group of
files/folders in the root

For the web generally any file that will generate a web
document such as an
html file or a server side script and the Flash Movie File.

The Flash Movie is a file that is loaded by the OBJECT tag
for Windows IE
and EMBED tag for other web browers. How the tags get there
can range from a
static html document to a serverside script. Even a static
html document
having Javascript write out the OBJECT and EMBED tags.
Basic Flash files are
1. MyMovie.fla - the Flash Document you keep in the
development computer.
Only accessible via the Flash Authoring software.
2. MyMovie.swf - a Flash Movie that can be played in the
Flash Player. Most
commonly placed on the web server and will require a web page
with the
OBJECT and EMBED tags to load the movie. Also can be loaded
externally by
projectors discussed in next item.
3. MyMovie.exe and MyMovie.hqx are Flash Movies that include
the Flash
Player and can be run from the Windows and Macintosh desktop
respectively.
Also called projectors. No web browser is involved so no need
for html tags.
If you look at File->Publish Settings and the Format tab,
you see what files
you can choose to publish. The above are the most common and
most useful.

Whats new with Flash Player 9.0

Hi all ..
i want to know whats new with flash player 9.0. what are the
new features etc..
thanks in advance

I have confirmed his complaint. stopAllSounds works correctly
across multiple swfs on an html page using Flash player 8 but not
with Flash Player 9.
Incidentally, there is another big "improvement" (they say)
that prevents you from uninstalling the Flash 9 player without
running
their uninstaller exe. Unfortunately, their uninstaller
uninstalls all flash player versions (not just version 9) from ALL
browsers
so if just want to remove player 9 from IE you are forced to
also uninstall it from FireFox etc as well. Great, huh?

845 PE-Max "NEW" Bios Flash "does it really fix the temp readings?"

So MSI has been having problems with there Temp readings on there boards. So I was surprised to see that they just released a bios update to correct this issue. Of course I couldn't wait to download and flash the bios and see what effect it had. Everything went well, I popped into windows and (I'm testing Intel's stock HSF currently) and my temps dropped drastically????? Now this can't be correct either...
Motherboard: 32c
CPU: 29c
Case 23c
Now remember this is with the retail P4 2.53 HSF. With the new bios flash it shows a cooler temp than my Spark 7. And the Intel is only running at 2400RPM. Before the bios flash with the Intel HSF:
Motherboard: 33c
CPU: 40c
Case 23c

Well ran another test last night. Ran a CPU Burn-In test for 30 Minutes and the temp only hit 45c during the test. Obviously the new BIOS is incorrect. I find it impossible that the retail HSF on my P4 2.53GHz can keep it below 50c under max load. My Tt Spark 7 with Artic Silver II only kept it at 37c idle. I'm reading 28c Idle now using the retail HSF.
MSI - ??????????????????????????

New To Flash - Developed Slideshow

Is there anyway that I can set the window size for the
slideshow when the user clicks on the link to open? Right now it
opens in a new window that shows the background color.
I would like for it to display as when I hit ctrl+enter to
test the slideshow.
Is the *.swf file the only file that I need to upload to the
server for it to function correctly or do I need to upload the
*.fla file as well.
I know these might sound like stupid questions but again I am
new to flash.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Please email me here or

New to Flash CS3

Hi Guys,
I really need your help. I used to use Flash MX a while back.
I can animate in flash really well.
but my problem is the action script. Basicly, i'm design a
simple learning interface.
at the begining, theintro loads up, but then i need it to
pause. a button appears, which you can click on and it will take
you to the menu screen where you have 3 options to click on to look
at different products.
my problem is that I can manage to stope theanimation, but i
don't understand how to get the button to go to Scene 2 (which is
the menu animation)
Am i doing this wrong? will it work with another scene or doi
have to create a new file?
If i'm doing right, can anyone help me with the coding
please?
I really appreciate you reading this
thanks
A very frustrated...
Shigeru :)

I'm new to flash too, and I created my website in two weeks
using flash and dreamweaver. I still have to fix a couple of bugs,
but after doing tons of reading and using good extensions I was
able to get it up and running. I totally recommend you for the
slide shows what I used for my website. It very easy to configurate
in many ways, not much actionscript required, almost none. Check
out my site:
www.mauriciolopez.info
This is the link for the flash extension called 'Creative FL
Stroller' I used to create my galleries:
http://www.extendstudio.com/
You can download it right away and comes with very easy to
follow materials.
I hope this helps!

I'm new to flash

Hi everyone. Well I am new to flash and I have a few
questions. Here they are:
1. How do I import a bitmap, without just pasting it.
2. I also would like to know if there is a possibility of
having objects which I can then get them to move around, asign
bitmaps, etc.
well I actually have many more than that, but for now I would
like those answered. (by the way I am making a small animation/
cartoon series with weird stick characters)
Thanks

hit F1 (help) and start reading - it is all there in the
documentation that comes with flash - these
forums work best when we dont have to retype the entire
manual - when you get stuck with a specific
issue and have exhausted all means of resolving it, then post
here.
also - plenty of information already available on the web:

I'm back! Well, sorta...

It's hard to keep a good man down... welcome back to the real world!

So as most of you know I recent left the IT industry to pursue my zen job and ran off to run a Kayak rental shack with no computers in sight, or even electricity... This was awesome. It was peaceful, it was zen, and it was one of the best experiences ever.However, I have recently left the Kayak shack to come back to technology... Well sort of... I recently accepted an offer from a start-up company that designs fixed wing and multi-rotor drones for mapping and agriculture. My new position: Test Pilot and Systems Engineer. My time will be split between test flying drones,designing drone systems, and traveling to some crazy places to teach people how to use them. I'm going to be working a lot with Raspberry Pi's and Arduino stuff so it's putting me in a lovely position to become active in the community again :-). Not sure if you'll see me...

Install new adobe flash

I have a Mac Air since 2012. Recently I get the message that I have to install/download the new Adobe Flash.
When I try this a get the sreen with name and password.
For some reason the combination doesn't work anymore.
I have signed in for a new name and password. But still it does not work?
How can I come in contact with a helpdesk?
Or what do a wrong?
Thanks,
Herco

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

New Version of Table Sorter

Hi All,
I require new version of Table Sorter.
The table sorter that I am using may not be updated.
It doesn't sort the decimal fields.

Hi Satish,
I've just tried to use the updated code you've added to the Wiki and it doesn't appear to be syntactically correct.
There are two problems I can see - it looks like the Wiki software has corrupted a lot of the code with "Unknown Macro :" added all over the place as well as some special characters being replaced, and some of the lines of code appear to be incomplete.
Could you please have a look at it and correct so that it works as it's useless at the moment?
Thanks,
Gareth.

Help!(confused face) I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect

I'm new with flash and don't know why the timers don't work like i would expect. In VB.NET timers are how you move stuff, but it doesn't look like they are ideal for moving stuff in flash at all (really slow). I'm making a game in which you throw a ball around the screen. i am using a timer to get the ball to move. this doesn't work well for 2 reasons; 1: the ball jumps alot, and 2: the timer should eventually run out of time. If anyone can help, i'd be thrilled cus this is my first post here, so yeah

Timing for movement would be more often dealt with using something that operates at the frame rate of the file. The ENTER_FRAME event is usually selected for this purpose.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBall);
function moveBall(evt:Event):void {
// your positioning code
You could use a Timer to control when to stop the listener from being active.

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks!

Numbers Sort function. In Numbers 09 there was 'rearrange' which worked perfectly. New Numbers 13 has Sort by column but I can't get it to work. is there a bug?

In Numbers 09 there was 'rearrange' which worked perfectly. New Numbers 13 has Sort by column but I can't get it to work. is there a bug?

Numbers '09 has a Reorganize panel and the top section of that panel is for sorting. Numbers 3 also has the ability to sort and it works. However, Numbers '09 and Numbers 3 sort differently.
In Numbers '09, if you had a formula such as =Table 1::A1 and if a sort of Table 1 moved cell A1 to A20, the formula would change to =Table 1::A20. In Numbers 3, the formula would stay =Table1::A1.

Quicktime and new Adobe flash don't work!!

Ever since I have ? downloaded new iTunes/Quicktime updates I cannot get Quicktime to play any movie trailers. Also, when I go to any sites which need a Flash player, I am unable play any flash related videos. To add further frustration, I am unable to download the new Adobe flash player. It "downloads," but goes nowhere on my computer and is nonfunctional!! I feel like because I have an "old" Mac with Panther (which otherwise works great!), I am slowly being phased out of all the new downloads as they often either don't work or screw up my system. Help!!

Hi again Stephen,
That's great! I'm glad that that got you back on the track.
I personally Repair Permissions about once a week or so (though the need to is highly debated here in Discussions).
You might be interested in having a look at About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
Always Repair Permissions from Disk Utility on you HD before and after any Software Update/Upgrade for trouble free downloads.
Glad I was able to help and thank-you for the courtesy of extending the Solved star!
good luck,
littleshoulders [:-)
