Adobe Flash software is typically used to create animated cartoons or interactive websites. The versatile ActionScript language also makes it ideal for programming your own games that can be played online via a web browser.
Instructions
Step 1
Write or draw a general concept of the game, including all the planned actions that the player will have to perform, think over the graphic component and determine the overall goal of the game that must be achieved in order to win.
Step 2
Describe the main stages of creating a future game before starting work on it, since it must be done in a logical order and gradually create various aspects of the program. Find out what software functions you need to work through the different parts of the game and put them together.
Step 3
Download and run Flash MX Professional by double-clicking its icon on the desktop or in the Start menu, under Programs. Start drawing graphics in-game or importing pre-created objects from another program.
Step 4
Create the main characters, distribute their roles and functions, work out their display and animation, their influence on the surrounding graphics, the number of lives left, if necessary, and the scoring system. Use the application's If Then feature to determine which objects should remain on the screen at all times and which will be involved in one way or another when performing certain actions.
Step 5
Open an ActionScript window and write down other specific events in the game, such as displaying text or changing levels. Use the templates available to describe an action.
Step 6
Save the game project and run it to test it. If there are errors, remember their name and go back to your code to correct any inaccuracies. Test the game until you are sure that there are no problems in the process. Upload the game to the website for visitors to play.
