Why I love Flashing people!
I'm intrigued, do you make a game out of it?
Why of course. You get points depending on People reaction to the Bright Light you just showed them.

(Oh Ho Ho, And you thought I was being dirty ;) )

I've been playing flash games almost daily for about 6-8 years now....Mostly on kongregate or i-am-bored and most of the time I only stay on one for about 10 minutes before getting bored and quitting

If I haven't got anything new for a console I'll probally be playing flash games. Or here for that matter.

I find flash games horribly dull, especially since if I get bored I've got a massive game collection on my desktop and even a few on my laptop.

I just joined Newgrounds as I recently learnt AS3.0 so needed some inspiration, not really working on anything yet just building bases of games and seeing what I like. Could do with an artist...

Moving off topic there, but yes, joined Newgrounds and get sent the best ones in my email, and some of them have actually been really good, found myself playing those for longer than I intended.

I dabbled before, but it's been a lot recently due to me making my own.

Edit: on the topic of Facebook games I'm holding out for Civilisation, played Poker once or twice but it wasn't anything special.
What's your opinion on AS2 vs AS3? I'm just making an extremely (seriously) simple game for school with AS 2 and no prior knowledge of how to do things (which I was initially going to ask a question about). Is AS3 better or simpler or what?
It certainly runs faster, but I only made a few simple AS2 games and used it mostly for websites.
It's not easier, for using Flash and learning how the timeline works and whatnot I'd prefer to learn AS2, but I started with C++ before I learnt AS2, I wouldn't want to learn AS3 without either Flash knowledge or another language as well.
Or that is just because I'm happy with the order I learnt things...

AS3 is less forgiving, I can't get away with messy code like I used to when I was just messing about for half an hour or whatever, but then again I reckon that's just down to lack of experience.
I'm going to need a bit before I can compare the two for ease of use, just need to find a project so I can properly compare.

I was just struggling with tutorials and AS2 for the last 4 hours, GOD DAMN, just to make a small timer. In the end I found a simple way of doing it (Movieclip which +1 every 30th frame) but the amount of possibilities you have for just that is ridiculous! Also is there a reason for always putting the registration point to the top left rather than the middle?
Anyway it's 2:30 where I live now so off to bed -.-.

For the registration, most common use I'd guess would be loading bars, it's used to choose where you start filling the bar from. Other animation done solely through Actionscript will likely use it as well, as it sets where the x and y axis is at 0.

I was lucky to have known some programming fundamentals before learning Actionscript, so I don't know how hard it is for a first language, however I can see why it would be difficult learning the Flash layout/timetable thing at the same time as code.
