hey guys i just joined on monday.
i want to get into making addicting flash games i have always wanted to make games.
i dont know where to start
i know about the software that i need to buy but i dont know where to buy if from and which one to buy.
and from there i dont know where i can learn i see the tutorial section on here.
but im jst wondering is there and online class i can take or is everything pretty much self taught?
i called a couple colleges for the flash actionscript course and they want to put me in some multimedia class that has virtual simulation and all that and i dont want that i just want to make flash games that everyone will play.
plus the class cost 62,000$ and i dont have that much money.
sorry for the rant.
any help will be appreciated
thanks

user a trial version to the software, you can find it on Adobe's website
you can use lynda.com to get yourself started and if you think it is something you might want to get into than go for it.
