How can you make sniper games or at least any?! If I make a game, it can get 100,000 plays or at least 1 million! I lost my Adobe flash CS3 and I REALLY need help!
P.S. The replies you might send will probaly help ALOT of people.
I don't think it would be that hard. I am making a Java game with similar "camera" properties where you only see a limited part of an entire picture.
What you want to do is draw a black image with a transparent circle with a cross-hair inside at the mouse's position. If the background picture (whatever scene your sniping at) is bigger than the size of the screen for you flash game you would take the mouse's position and have it proportionally move the image in the background. Something like mousePosition/100*backgroundImageSize+halfScreenSize the "+halfScreenSize" allows it to be centered on the center of the screen, rather than the origin. That's how I'd do it in java anyway...
You do realize Adobe Flash CS3 is kind of outdated, right?
I've got CS5 but I'd some how rather have CS3 because my pc not that good and CS5 lags on it. Plus CS4 + CS5 have not much more, in fact, all I need to make games is a timeline, library, properties panels, actions panel and code highliting/hinting. That is enough to make games, there's really not much point in getting newer versions.
I suggest you take a course on making flash games in the first place.
No! I can make games with no course, at the age of 13. Just get some video tutorial s from lynda.com, entitled ActionScript 3.0 Essentials, then get these 2 books.
1. Learning ActionScript 3.0 by Pich Shaupe and Zevan Rosser 2. Essential ActionScript 3.0 by Colin Moock
You might want the book: 'Flash Game University' by Gary Rozenzweig as well.
I actually meant covering every basics. Of course it doesn't show the advanced stuff, but if you are new to something, you wanna start off with the basics.
