Description
EDIT: AstroKitti's my old username on deviantArt, so that's why it says that in the corner.A bunch of people were inboxing me and requesting for me to upload this - So here it is! I made this when I was 15, and I've learned a lot since then. I've learned better ways of doing things also.
But this will be useful to a beginner. I recommend looking up other tutorials as well, there are some really good ones here on deviantart
Hope this helps! ^^

DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. NOW THAT YOU'VE STARTED READING, DONT STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY. 1 say your name 10 times 2. say your mum's name 5 times and your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this onto 4 other games. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday possible. But if you read this and do not paste this, you will get bad luck. SEND THIS ON 5 DIFFERENT GAMES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOUR DONE, PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO FREAKY IT ACTUALLY WORKS.

What is Flash AS2 used for the most? Like what type of games can you make with it?
π: 0 β©: 1
not really the most in the 'world-wide internet' but tons of deviants use flash on deviantart,
and you can make basic games, like visual novels, platformers, rpgs, *insert other stuff because its 3 AM right now for me.. ;;"

Right now it's for me it's 9:48 p.m.

its basically a novel, except you play through it, usually people input choices into them so its like a choose-your-own-adventure game.
there are plenty examples online.

no, unfortunately, however there is a free trial.
main download page : www.adobe.com/downloads/other-β¦
here are the versions you can install, preferably you should get Cs3 or Cs4 flash. Since, they have AS2.
CS3 Flash professional :Β esd.adobe.com/Applications/Flaβ¦
CS4 Flash professionalΒ :Β trials2.adobe.com/Applicationsβ¦
unless you'd like a newer version.. you will need to fill out a few forms for the newest.
creative.adobe.com/products/doβ¦
that's about it.. i hope this helped you, and possibly many passerby's.

Hello! Can i ask you a question regarding about the flash?
when i try to upload a picture (png or jpeg) using "Import to Library" It just shows me a blank image
do you know any way to fix about this?
Plz help me
π: 0 β©: 1
the library is a seperate tab for the things you've imported, but to open it, you can of course, press f11 or go to the windows/library
hope that helped <33!

Wow, okay, you have no idea how much I have to owe you for this one. I'm making a game and there was a code that had been stumping me for two months, and thanks to this, I *finally* figured it out, and now everything is running smoothly. So, sincerely, thank you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yay! I'm so glad you were able to figure it out! I know how frustrating it is to not know what's wrong with your code, haha. So happy I could help!

Uhm. I thought I'd try to relearn things again....
And at lesson 5 it seems I did something wrong? I can't figure it out....
I entered the exact code you placed in the lesson and everytime I type "yay". It keeps going to "try again"....
Everything I type says "Try again"
Here's the code:
on (release)
{
if (my_password == "yay")
{
check_password= "Correct!";
}
else
{
check_password = "Try again.";
}
}
Could you help me? Or am I making a simple mistake that I seem to can't see? D : ?

Very nice tutorial. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you

You are AWESOME!!! This is the first time that I perfectly understood the actionscript 
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, good! That was my intention, haha. I know I was really confused when I first started learning - I taught myself, so it took a while to figure it out. I hope you can use your newfound skills to create cool stuff though! x3

I started learning Flash ActionScript 2.0 since 2011. I'm a graphic designer but I also LOVE programming in Flash, I have it in my veins 
π: 0 β©: 1
BTW I noticed that you like Death Note!! Me too!, I read the manga and then watched the Anime. It was really awesome! one of my favorite anime =>.

Thank you~!
The other day, I realized that I had skipped basically... all the basics of flash and started with more advanced stuff. 
So thanks so much!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aw, you're welcome! I know how utterly confused I was when I first started learning... It took forever, since I taught myself. So I'm glad it helped! (Haha, sometimes I look back on my own tutorial as a reference guide when I go too long without coding.)
^___^
π: 0 β©: 0
Omg, this tutorial has helped me ACTUALLY understand the program!! Instead of just copy and pasting, and just following orders and whatnot! And just thinking "Buttons are just moving foward, nothing else" but really, "Buttons can be anything~ Like. Picture pop up!"
Thanks sooooo much!!!!!!!

Aaww, I'm so happy it helped!!! Yay!! Hehe, have fun creating projects with this knowledge~ (^^)

Please don't get mad but could I ask you something? (People tend to get mad or ignore me when I ask this...)
But how do you let players type their names?
So when typed, the characters can say their name within the text itself?
Thanks!! : )))
π: 0 β©: 1
Create a variable in which you can type the name in, and give it a name like var_name. Then when referencing back to it, here's what you do with every text that a character says:
Create a dynamic textbox and name it something like "textbox", then on the actions panel for the main frame, type in the following code:
textbox = "Hey, " + var_name + ", how are you?";
I hope this helps =3 It's been a while since I've done that, so I hope it works! Message back if there's a problem! (^^)

OHHH! THANKS THANKS THANKS! I get it!
Wow... that's going to be a lot of work though haha...
Say, how can I make words appear italic then? Or.. change color?
AHH! Sorry I'm bombarding you with questions >3<
π: 0 β©: 1
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to change individual words in a textbox to be a different style (bold, italic, etc.) or color without changing the whole textbox to be like that ><; Haha, but you can do the latter by changing the settings in the Properties tab. :3

Oh okay then! It's fine! Thanks! You are SUCH a big helppp!!! This is good enough really! Thanks again!!
I could, I'd give you the BIGGEST star in the world, but science says giving you that will burn you to ashes : (
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, darn. I was looking forward to my star T.T

I'm sorry! but I don't wanna risk burning you into ashes...
Forgive me please

You have no idea how much this tutorial helped me.
Before finding this, I was completely lost when it came to variables.
This is the first tutorial that has made any sense to me. The rest have always seemed completely foreign or nonsensical.
I couldn't possibly thank you enough <3
