not to completely offend you, but i really don't think you should start trying to program yet, a good grasp on the language you speak natively (english) would be the first step; next step would be to learn how computers work so that you don't complain when incorrect code _you think_ (there are exceptions, such as with PHP and trying to use functions/classes/anything considered intermediate level programming in other languages) should work doesn't, then step into BASIC so you can get familiar with programming terms and operations; afterward you should be able to do this with little help from things other than tutorials and language references. on the note of flashdevelop, i just spent 4 hours (should only have taken me 10 minuets at the most, and would have only taken that long had i used the flash IDE in the first place) trying to use it only to find out that perfectly valid AS2 won't work. if you want to see what i tried using, just say so and i'll post it <a class="utility">EDIT:</a> <pre>import flash.external.ExternalInterface; // throws no errors, assumed to work class Main { // .AS name, unmodified from creating a new project static function Main() { // originally "static function main() {", just from creating a new project; gave the same error System.security.allowDomain("*.kongregate.com"); System.security.allowInsecureDomain("*.kongregate.com"); ExternalInterface.addCallback("play", null, function() { var theSound:Object = new Sound(_root); theSound.attachSound("library.sound1.mp3"); theSound.start(); }); // no errors either, compiles fine in the IDE and works as expected (converted to timeline code) } }</pre> it's a temporary swf that will serve to make a beep when someone says your name while you're afk in a script i'm making, i'm going to replace it with an AS3 swf that uses dynamic sounds due to the original request; but basic functionality is what i'm looking at for now; the suite of scripts i have thus far, they're going to become an add-on for firefox, later a widget for opera/IE, and chrome once they allow it in the 'normal' build: http://gist.github.com/201545 not to completely offend you, but i really don’t think you should start trying to program yet, a good grasp on the language you speak natively (english) would be the first step; next step would be to learn how computers work so that you don’t complain when incorrect code you think (there are exceptions, such as with PHP and trying to use functions/classes/anything considered intermediate level programming in other languages) should work doesn’t, then step into BASIC so you can get familiar with programming terms and operations; afterward you should be able to do this with little help from things other than tutorials and language references. on the note of flashdevelop, i just spent 4 hours (should only have taken me 10 minuets at the most, and would have only taken that long had i used the flash IDE in the first place) trying to use it only to find out that perfectly valid AS2 won’t work. if you want to see what i tried using, just say so and i’ll post it <a class="utility">EDIT:</a> <pre>import flash.external.ExternalInterface; // throws no errors, assumed to work class Main { // .AS name, unmodified from creating a new project static function Main() { // originally "static function main() {", just from creating a new project; gave the same error System.security.allowDomain("*.kongregate.com"); System.security.allowInsecureDomain("*.kongregate.com"); ExternalInterface.addCallback("play", null, function() { var theSound:Object = new Sound(_root); theSound.attachSound("library.sound1.mp3"); theSound.start(); }); // no errors either, compiles fine in the IDE and works as expected (converted to timeline code) } }</pre> it’s a temporary swf that will serve to make a beep when someone says your name while you’re afk in a script i’m making, i’m going to replace it with an AS3 swf that uses dynamic sounds due to the original request; but basic functionality is what i’m looking at for now; the suite of scripts i have thus far, they’re going to become an add-on for firefox, later a widget for opera/IE, and chrome once they allow it in the ‘normal’ build: <a href="http://gist.github.com/201545">http://gist.github.com/201545</a>
