So I have been doing loads of action script tutorials(AS:Main is a lifesaver) and small engines and what not. I do not know what I would classify my action script skill as? We'll say i'm an experienced noob.

Now I'm ready to make my first flash game (that will be uploaded online, as I mentioned I've already played around with engines and what not) I didn't put any of the small basic things I made because I wanted my first one online to be one some people might have fun playing.

What is a good game type to make for someone semi-new to flash? I know some types are harder than others and I was wondering if I could get input from people who had more experience as to what type of game they think would be good for someone of my experience

I've always thought point and click games are fairly beginner-friendly

I'd recommend staying away from a platforming game. However, the types of games where you avoid flying obstacles coming from the right hand side are good (You know, the ones where you use your arrow keys to move up and down and try not to get killed).

I'd agree on point and click games. At a basic level it requires little coding - or you could make a quiz.

Point and clicks, quizes and maze games require almost no Action script at all. I recommend stating with a tower defense type game, those are fairly simple.
