Learn how to make a Flash game within minutes
with no prior scripting
knowledge!


This step-by-step guide will show you how to make an entertaining
Flash game quickly and easily


This article is for people who are just beginning to use Flash tools to create
interactive stuff. This article will take you from a blank flash document
to an action game in minutes, with any tricky things explained in ordinary,
everyday language that you can skip over if you want.
As a special thank you for reading this article I’m giving the complete
source of game.fla, which you can use for whatever purposes you want, private
or commercial. You must however give credit to GameInnovator.com for using any
part of the source in your projects. This flash file is made for ActionScript 2.0.

Setting the scene


Create a new flash document (menu File/New) and save it as game.fla. This is
the design file that will contain the design and content for the game.
If you get stuck anywhere on this tutorial there is a finished game.fla at
the bottom of this page that can be downloaded to see what things should look
like.
Change the document properties (menu Modify/Document) so that the dimensions
are 640 by 480 and so that the frame rate is 30 frames a second. The background
co lour is assumed to be white.





We will start by creating the 5 initial objects needed to make the game work.

Draw the player’s ship, the alien, the player’s projectile, the
alien’s laser and an explosion on the same frame and layer.
Turn each drawing into a Movie Clip with its own instance name. I will explain
below in more detail how this is done. More advanced people can skip to the
naming of the instances.
