This is a great time to be a Flash game developer. Right now, there is no better develop-

ment tool for small and medium-size games.

Flash CS3 Professional (a.k.a. Flash 9) is fast, powerful, and easy to develop with. The

key to this is ActionScript 3.0, the great new programming language inside this latest

version of Flash.

ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 were often frustrating for game developers. They weren’t fast

enough to get key tasks done, and odd bugs and unexpected behavior often slowed

down production.

ActionScript 3.0 is a very different animal. You’ll find yourself developing quickly and

effortlessly. Things just work, and work well. And the speed of ActionScript 3.0 will

make your game design ideas work just as you imagined them.

Let this book become your guide to Flash game development. I hope you enjoy learning

from this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Flash and Game Development

In October 1995, I was excited about my future as a game developer. Macromedia had

just released Shockwave, and I saw it as a way to develop games that I could distribute

myself, over the Web.

Only twice since then have I seen something that has made me just as excited about

game development as the original Shockwave. The next time was with the release of

Shockwave 3D. And the third time was with the release of ActionScript 3.0.

Flash games have been around for a while, but always as a the younger brother to

Shockwave games. Shockwave was faster, more powerful, and eventually in 3D.

With ActionScript 3.0, however, Flash becomes equally as powerful as Shockwave. In

some ways, it is more so. For instance, the Flash 9 player is already on 80 percent of

the web-browsing computers out there. By the time you get this book, most Flash 8

players would have been upgraded to Flash 9, and we’ll be close to 100 percent.

Knowing that Flash 9 is almost as ubiquitous as the Web browser itself empowers us as

Flash game developers.

Flash 9 even plays on Linux machines. Older versions of Flash play on Web television

boxes, game consoles such as the Wii, and even portable devices such as smartphones

and the PlayStation Portable. In time, we’ll have the Flash 9 player and ActionScript 3.0

on these kinds of devices, too.

You can develop both standalone and web-based versions of your games with Flash.

Third-party software enables you to extend your standalone games to make them robust

applications.

Flash with ActionScript 3.0 is a great, practical way to make small and medium-size games.

Introduction

Who Is This Book For?

This book is for anyone using Flash to develop games. However, different types of devel-

opers will use this book in different ways.

Someone fairly new to both Flash and programming will be able to use this book as a

next step after learning basic programming skills. A motivated fast learner might also be

able to use this book to learn ActionScript 3.0 from scratch.

If you have previous experience programming with ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0, you can use

this book to get up to speed on ActionScript 3.0.

However, you should try to forget most of what you know about previous versions of

ActionScript. Seriously, ActionScript 3.0 is very different from previous versions. In fact,

I consider it a whole new programming language.

Many Flash users already know the basics of animation and programming but want to

move on to developing games. This is the core audience for the book.

If you are not a programmer at all, but a designer, illustrator, or animator, you can use

the examples in this book as a framework for your own games. In other words, you can

just swap out the graphics from the source file examples.

Likewise, if you already are an expert ActionScript 3.0 programmer, this book can pro-

vide a library of code for you to draw on to make your games. No need to start from

scratch.

What Do You Need To Use This Book?

Most readers will need some previous experience with Flash and programming to get

the most from this book. You also need the right tools.

Prerequisite Knowledge

Readers should be familiar with the Flash CS3 environment. If you are new to Flash, run

through the Flash User Guide that comes with Flash CS3. From inside Flash, choose

Help, Flash Help or press F1. You might also want to consider a beginner’s book or

online tutorial.

This book is not geared toward first-time programmers, unless you are just looking to

use the examples by substituting your own graphics. Therefore, you should have some

programming experience: ActionScript 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0, JavaScript, Java, Lingo, Perl,

PHP, C++, or just about any structured programming language. ActionScript 3.0 is not

hard to understand if you are at least somewhat familiar with loops, conditions, and

functions. Chapter 1, “Using Flash and ActionScript 3.0,” in fact, sums up the basic

ActionScript 3.0 syntax.

What Do You Need To Use This Book?

What You’ll Find in This Book

Chapter 1, “Using Flash and ActionScript 3.0,” introduces ActionScript 3.0 and some

basic concepts such as game programming strategies and a checklist to help you develop

games in Flash CS3.

Chapter 2, “ActionScript Game Elements,” presents a series of short code snippets and

functions, such as creating text fields, drawing shapes, and playing sounds. This is a use-

ful and practical library of code that we’ll be using throughout the book (and you’ll be

using in your own projects).

Chapters 3 through 12 each contain one or more complete games. The text of the

chapter walks you through the game code, enabling you to build it yourself if you want.

Or, you could use the source file and walk through the code.

Chapter 3, “Basic Game Framework: A Matching Game,” is a little different from the

rest of the book. Instead of examining game code for a finished game, it builds a game

in ten steps, producing a different Flash movie and source code file with each step. It is

a great way to learn how to build Flash games.

Most of the rest of the chapters introduce a special topic before starting a new game.

For instance, Chapter 4 starts with an “Arrays and Data Objects” section.

But, the content of this book doesn’t stop with the pages in your hands. There is more

to be found online.

The FlashGameU.com Website

The FlashGameU.com is the companion website to this book. Go there to find the

source files, updates, new content, a Flash game development forum, and my blog and

podcast on Flash game development.

The source files for this book are organized by chapter, and then further divided into

archives for each game. There is a link to download the files at the main page of

FlashGameU.com.

At FlashGameU.com, you’ll also find a blog in which I post new content and try to

answer reader questions. If you’ve got a question about something in this book, or about

Flash game development in general, you can ask it in the forum or ask me directly

through the blog.

Hope to see you there!
