Hey guys, I was wondering if there was any way to convert a Game Maker game to Flash (fla). I have been working on some Game Maker games and want to put them on Armor Games. Is there any way?

They are two entirely different languages. I'm pretty sure there isn't a way...

Would you think Armor Games would take a Java game? Or not?

No flash games only. It says on the submission page Flash Game File.

I know, but I was wondering if they would let you submit it anyways, it still plays in-browser like Flash.

Yeah, Flash is the only program supported, but there are tons of programs that work for in-browser games, like Java, Shockwave, Silverlight (or whatever its called)... I've always wondered why they don't support the other programs, to be honest.

You can try Stencyl: http://stencyl.com

It will be like a Game Maker, but better and for flash games :P

I'd like to point out that *.fla (flash) is the source flash file, but the kind of flash file which you run and play is a *.swf (shockwave flash, i do believe is what it stands for)

I was about to ask the same. I have made few games on Game Maker because it's a lot easier than Flash and doesn't have much "Coding" to do. But I burned all my calories (lol) to convert but it just didn't worked out. I would have submitted like 3-4 games on AG now which would had like 3-7 Rating.

I know it sounds like flash is hard but once you get used to the coding its easier than game maker!
