How do I use Actionscript 2 & 3?

Well, really actionscript 2 is what I'm using, but, I'm not sure which is better to use, or how to use them...

I'm not sure if I'm way too lost to get help, but the only thing I HAVE completed is the homepage of the game... but I don't know how to make the GAME part of it =(

Help!

Which action script version you use can really depend on your preference as a programmer. I am a professional programmer, and am really used to using API's. Because of this I use Action Script 3 which also lends itself really well to source control.

I always like to start small when learning something new. Just getting an image you crated to show up in a flash movie would be a good first step. After that perhaps controlling it with the arrow keys.

If you like to learn by example the Zombies games is open source. You can find it here:

If you want a simpler not multi player example I open sourced a demo for a game I made about a year ago, the source is here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/zombiedefense

You would need subversion to get the code, although if that is too difficult I could zip the code up and send it to you personally.

Even the above suggested things may be a little too far beyond your level. If at all possible a little more information on your background and experience would be helpful.

Well, I have 0 experience...

I probably am not able to make a game =(

We all start out as a level 1 noob with 0 experience. All that means is you will not be creating a great game in a week.

I think thats an important point, If you are really serious and work hard you will be able to learn. But if you expect instant gratification and get disappointed if you don't have the game of your dreams in a year then you will burn out and fail.

(START HERE)
As a total beginner I would suggest grabbing the "Zombies" open source and getting it to run on your local machine. This itself will be a difficult task for someone starting out.

If you keep posting back in this forum I would be glad to help.

I think it is also important to take your time to really think about what questions you need to ask, although I certainly understand how hard it can be to form pointed questions without some foundation to build on.
