[markjeff24]

hi guys,

I've got this AI from a checkers game the problem is its so dumb it's letting himself be eaten....
any idea how to make efficient and challenging AI?

Hi,

This problem is probably addressed a lot more by programmers using other languages than programmers using flash, which doesn't have the computing power, at least in AS2, to do some of the more intensive AI calculations needed in a timely way. I would suggest a search for 'checkers AI' or 'checkers AI pseudocode' in google, and looking at http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=460015, a gamedev discussion on the most commonly used checkers AI, as a start.
