Alright, so I've always had a desire to start making flash games... really, and I never knew how. After coming to this site, and seeing that you can submit games, that gets me excited, so I want to start learning.

Are there COMPLETE basic tutorials for flash? I mean like, so basic, it explains the tools. I'm clueless.

Thanks,
-Justin

Yup, it is called Help and is located at the main menu in the Flash itself. The Flash help section is the best help section i've ever seen. I mean really... There are some very good tutorials also.

that is spam.

Anyway, I use "Maya" rendering to make 3-D flash thingies, and it is a lot easier because there is a wireframe rendering in the Maya program.

You can install trial version, or a cracked one (its illegal and stuff, but not stealing - you wouldn't buy it now anyway, so no losses for the company)

Lol, don't talk yourself down like that. Being a teenager is actually one of the best times to start something - you're clever enough to understand most things, yet young enough to memorize it quickly.

And money is always a problem, no matter what age you are

Unless you're insanely rich like the people you see in Vogue and Elle.
