Is there no answer to my dreams?

[Punkydave]

My biggest dream is to create an amazing flash game, release it on consoles, and make money from it. Is this possible? And where can I learn AS 2 or AS3 professionally nowadays?

well... take an example from castle crashers, alien hominid, and ballads of reemus, those games are maded with flash and ported into consoles, alien hominid was released for the nintendo gamecube, xbox og, playstation 2, even on the gba, and lately got a port for xbox 360 and pc, castle crashers was for xbox 360, playstation 3, and pc, and ballads of reemus, well, is not on console, only pc, but is a really good flash game too...

Actually, there is a lot of websites to learn action script 2.0, being more efficient than action script 3.0 for flash player.

Hope works for ya!

so, you know a few sites

yup, maybe the newgrounds forum could help you, or the old adobe one, from the original website, or on the wayback machine, or even instructable.com, and youtube, but i'm gonna send you some basic codes for only action script 2.0, here:

Button actions:
on(release){gotoAndPlay("Scene Name",1);

}


Stop scene:
stop();

Anti Cheat (no frame alteration):
menuChange = new ContextMenu();
menuChange.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
menuChange.builtInItems.print = false;
menuChange.builtInItems.rewind = false;
menuChange.builtInItems.play = false;
menuChange.builtInItems.loop = false;
_root.menu = menuChange;

Fullscreen on Adobe Player:
Stage.displayState="Fullscreen";

Exit button:
on(release){
fscommand("quit");
}

That should be a little help, you can take an example from this flash tutorial too from newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/218367

Anyway, goodluck on your projects!

You can make money on newgrounds, but not sure about console releases, I recently released a flash game 'Rapper Rhythm' after a long time of development and it won the best of the month, giving me a $100 dollars. A great way to learn as2 is this

I could teach you AS2.
I'm still developing some stuff on it from time to time.
