if you really really don't understand action script and don't want to do much of it but make a point and click game, and your willing to put the time into making a game, the only suggestion of a game i can suggest which i have made.... though it is not on armor games cause i cbf putting loading screen onto it lol....
is to make a game thats only requires 2 action scripts one being:
stop();
just stop the frame and the other being

which just goes to the frame/scence you set it to and will play the movie. then you just set up buttons and your what happens for instance say theres a button saying run away, its just shown this big guy trying to attack you and you make it stop and then have 2 buttons 1 saying 'Do Nothing' and the other saying 'Run Away' then you just make 2 different movies for each choice of what happens and there you go you can make a survival game just off.... i did if you would like to see mine just send me and email add me on msn or something i don't mind i will normally respond

I plan to make a zombie game like this, so thank you for the brief explanation. I'll favorite this now.

JustScott I would recomend learning more actionscript instead of making a button game you aready did that and you proved to yourself you are capable of making something in flash. Now you should expand your boundaries and maybe make a simple platformer using event listners

Here is an sample keyboard input for movement bear with me I did this in my head the in keycodes are memorizes so I hope they are right

public function keyDownFunction(event:KeyboardEvent) {

ops pressed enter
sor for double post anyway

if (gameMode != &quotlay&quot return;

if (event.keyCode == 37) {
youmovieclip.moveLeft == true;
} else if (event.keyCode == 39) {
youmovieclip.moveRight == true;
} else if (event.keyCode == 32) {
if (!youmovieclip.inAir) {
youmovieclip.jump = true;
}
}
}
public function keyUpfunction (event:KeyboardEvent) {
if (event.keyCode == 37) {
youmovieclip.moveleft = false;
} else if (event.keyCode == 39) {
youmovieclip.moveRight = false;
}
}

this is just an example but requires more code I encourage you to try to make something more than a button game.
