1. Cars hit the walls and bounce off, but i can't figure out how to make them hit EACHOTHER
For your first game this is going to be sooooooooooooo complecated, I would recomend sticking to 1 player until you get more experience or making the cars simply explode when they hit eachother or something
2. I want to make a main menu where you can choose cars and tracks, but again, i can't figure out how to.
Look into variables... this also shows that you probably didn't create your own code for driving the car and the walls :p
3. i want sound for engines and collisions.. i haven't tryed this part yet, but if anyone knows how i can get some nice engine sounds that don't have a horrid looping sound, that i could add to my game, i would be very thankful.
look over at Sound Dogs for sound effects or you could much more easily get music from the audio portal and help out some fellow NG musicians :)
4. Is it ok if i use pictures of cars from another game? they're the only decent top down pictures i can find.. if i can't use these i would appreciate it if someone could help me find some i could use.
No. You *have* to ask the author of the other game first and it's incredibly likely they will not let you. Just draw your own!
I think you have taken on too big a project for somebody that seems to know quite little about using flash, go make small things first, play around with it and get to know how to do things like use variables etc. Give yourself time and eventually you will find games like this easy to make and it will all be worth it :)
