What is goodie gangalang,

I'm here to show you how to create a simple click-and-point game using ActionScript 3.0, as I’ve never seen this talked about in AS3. If you have any questions, please leave a comment.

Prerequisite

You need Flash that supports ActionScript 3.0. If the program starts with "Adobe," you can write ActionScript 3.0.

This tutorial assumes you already know the basics of Flash: where the tools are and how to use the features to create a piece of animation. Otherwise, I recommend watching the legendary Alan Becker's tutorial on the basics, as he does a much better job of showing you than I can. While it is a bit old, I still recommend watching it. You don't have to watch all of them, just the ones that go over the flash tools and features. This tutorial also assumes you know very little about ActionScript in general.

Unfortunately, I ran into a picture limit, so each step has its post.
