    Why don't you look through the Games resources. You'll find loads of fla files for free download. Open them and see how they were made. That's where I'd start.

    there are a bunch of things you could start with. something that doesn't have much action in it would probably be easiest, perhaps a guessing game of somekind (eg rock, paper, scissors) or maybe a magic 8 ball type thing.

    you could also investigate tile based games, the concepts used in these can be applied to many genres of game, commonly things like pacman or grid based puzzle games (such as http://www.moddular.org/experiments/blockpuzzle.html though this is javascript not flash ) there are many excellent tutorials out there on the subject, in particular you should check this one out http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/index.html

    The light streaks and sparks are lines modified and converted to fills, then converted to masks, with an animated white fill under them.

    Hmm.. Easiest game is probably a stick figure moving around and you click on it and then it dies... only actionscript involved gotoAndPlay

    Or how about a quiz kinda game like "Who wants to be a millionaire" style.

    quite simple, just some gotoAndPlay here and jumping around if rite or wrong...

    have fun...
