Indeed, I used the Shootorial Tutorial Shell. See the programming forum: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/4-programming/topics/52603-make-your-own-coding-tutorials

Ok so I think I'm missing a download... The graphics example code on page 14 brings up nothing on my Flash player. Is this a common problem or do I need to do some troubleshooting?

Oddly enough, I couldn't get the image to work. Then I found out something interesting: in the project manager, you need to have sources indexed BEFORE the main.as. I assume this is something to do with read order? or did I screw something up?

Wow, i spent 5 minutes trying to figure out what i did wrong with hello world, only to find you left something, slow moment for me.

Thanks for posting this, I've done some (very little) programming before, but not anything outside of FORTRAN, it's been a help

I get
Error: a target file must be specified
Use 'mxmlc -help' for more information about using the command line
Build halted with errors (fcsh).
Any ideas?

Also when I go on with embedding the image, it says something like public can only be used inside a package, but when I use package, it says package cannot be nested. Anyone?

Question: When I use the command package, I get an error, but when I use opaqueBackground (it shows up during typing) it works. Anyone know why?

ok flashdevelper is free but it is just code and takes i imagene like 10 years to master. game maker is also free and is not just code it involves events, actions, and there is a code option and you can also get pro if you are willing to pay $40. if you want to know more visit yoyogames.com/gamemaker. rate this comment up so all the peeps can see this

What did you use to make this tutorial?
I mean, i'm assuming you used flash, or FlashDevelop, but the layout is the same as the shootorial layout, so i was wondering if you used similar code or something.

The code in my Main.as is different because it adds a simple animation not explained in this tutorial but the instructions in the tutorial should lead to a working flash program. If they don't could you whisper me with more details?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There were quite a lot of differences from your Main.as and what you gave as an information to start with. No wonder it didn't work at all for me at first and the file downloaded from you did work.

I do not encounter any errors while doing the test movie, but my hello world still doesn't show even with the package import at the begining, it's just an empty flash window.

the errors run when i test the textfield: Loading configuration file C:\Users\The Droid6\Documents\my flashdevelop stuff\test game\obj\testgameConfig.xml

I downloaded the Zip file for the Flash SDK from the link given, but then what? There is no .exe or any explanation as to what to do with the files in the .zip.

5/5! Great tutorial and good job on reusing the Kongregate Tutoral Shell. A few fixes include on the last page, where the last 2 words "usefull" and "programm" are spelled incorrectly. Change it to "useful" and "program". Great work.

Page 8, "Hello World" slide.
I had a problem with running the code. Errors it gave me
"Call to a possibly undefined method TextField"
I had to put at the top, with the other imports
"import flash.text.TextField;"
and it started working
I knew what imports are and how they work, but someone new to ActionScript might be confused by it

I don't think I'm cut out for this... 2 hours on this freaking program and I can't get adobe to make a stinking "Hello World!" output file. There has to be a user friendly flash game developing program in existence!
