I'm working on a little game, and yes unfortuantely I am a flash n00b, but I really want to learn, I have all the books (Flash Bible, Flash 8 Unleashed etc.) and Flash 8.
My game I am making is just a pretty basic game, you use the left and right arrows to run, press it faster to go faster and I hope to eventually put in a command when you press space it jumps (like a track longjumper sort of thing).
I want to make this an amazing game and I really hope to develop it but first I need some help scripting and making everything smooth. The graphics will come second (since it is the easy part and fun) but if anyone could guide to what I need to do, that would be great.
So my little idea is have a nice menu etc. and you start the game by pressing left + right repeatidly to run fast and whn you approach a red line you jump, and depending on how fast you are running that's how far you go. If you go over the line you get deducted 5 feet or somthing. I will add highscores and I hope it is a lot of fun.
I am attaching the .fla of what I have so far (extremely crappy, but over the next two weeks I am dedicated to this) and if anyone could help that would be great!
