Thanks so much to all of you for such quick responses. I'm sure my students will benefit from many of the links that you've already sent.
Since I'm not the best at clarity when writing, I'll throw out what started this thinking. I read Andy Harris' "Beginning Flash Game Programming For Dummies", and I think the level of that book was awesome for intro. I have also been using Greenfoot.org as a supplement to teach Java, as kids love games whether it's intro or more advanced (remember, these are 14-17 year olds, and we're trying to generate an interest in programming). So this semester I'll be trying to develop an OO approach, using Actionscript (can't install anything else without formal district approval). Some of the resources forwarded should be very helpful, and I truly appreciate all support. I'll be reading Moock's "Essential ActionScript 2.0", combining it with Harris' "Dummies", to create "Essential Games for Dummies"! On a serious note, how do you get an "enter_frame" event handler to work inside an AS file? Thanks again, I won't bother you all much more. Please take a look at last year's kids work: www.nghsit.com/studyhall Mike _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
