About using Flash ActionScript to develop Flash games

admin — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 09:46:07 +0000

With the inclusion of ActionScript, Flash Development work and especially, Flash game development has leased with a new dimension. What requires in this field is a logical and creative mind with lots patience and inclinations towards minute details. The ease of deployment, zero installation requirements and cross-platform compatibility immensely helped in popularizing Flash games.

Flash ActionScript is a proprietary scripting language (similar to JavaScript) developed by Adobe. The latest version of ActionScript 3.0 is now shipped with Flash CS3 where the Object-Oriented programming concept is extensively used.

Flash game development (though sounds exciting!) is comparatively complicated and intensive of all ActionScript developments. Before starting the actual game development the Flash designer should create the story-line covering the scenes, characters, scoring, play mechanism and the required graphics (the character motions and other objects).

With the Flash Player and Flex SDK (supplied by Adobe), one can easily start game design in Flash. The Flex SDK is a free tool which can be downloaded from Adobe’s website. Flex is a combination of the GUI and the ActionScript code. The GUI is contained in an MXML file (a XML file with user interface elements nested in HTML-like tags) which can also contain the ActionScript in a mx:Script tag.

The mx:Application tag is the top level tag of an MXML file. This Application object is the entry point for the Flex application where width, height, framerate, function to notify the creation of Application, function to notify the screen redrawing action are set.

Once the Application is initiated the mx:Script tag is used to write the ActionScript code for the actual game processing. Here, the GUI part is connected with each phase of the game. The game loop, user’s inputs and program parameters are set as per the game storyline and also the related audio files are attached.

Once the program is complete, it is complied and finally sent for testing.

The Pros and Cons of Using a Flash Based Website

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:44:33 +0000

Flash-based sites have been a craze since the past few years, and as Adobe (previously known as Macromedia) compiles more and more great features into Flash, we can only predict there will be more and more flash sites around the Internet. However, Flash based sites have been disputed to be bloated and unnecessary. Where exactly do we draw the line? Here’s a simple breakdown.

The good:

Interactivity

Flash’s Actionscript opens up a vast field of possibilities. Programmers and designers have used Flash to create interactve features ranging from very lively feedback forms to attractive Flash-based games. This whole new level of interactivity will always leave visitors coming back for more.

A standardized site

With Flash, you do not have to worry about cross-browser compatibility. No more woes over how a certain css code displays differently in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. When you position your site elements in Flash, they will always appear as they are as long as the user has Flash Player installed.

Better expression through animation

In Flash, one can make use of its animating features to convey a message in a much more efficient and effective way. Flash is a lightweight option for animation because it is vector based (and hence smaller file sizes) as opposed to real “movie files” that are raster based and hence much larger in size.

The bad and the ugly:

The Flash player

People have to download the Flash player in advance before they can view Flash movies, so by using Flash your visitor range will decrease considerably because not everyone will be willing to download the Flash player just to view your site. You’ll also have to put in additional work in redirecting the user to the Flash download page if he or she doesn’t have the player installed.

Site optimization

If your content was presented in Flash, most search engines wouldn’t be able to index your content. Hence, you will not be able to rank well in search engines and there will be less traffic heading to your site.

Loading time

Users have to wait longer than usual to load Flash content compared to regular text and images, and some visitors might just lose their patience and click the Back button. The longer your Flash takes to load, the more you risk losing visitors.

The best way to go is to use Flash only when you absolutely need the interactivity and motion that comes with it. Otherwise, use a mixture of Flash and HTML or use pure text if your site is purely to present simple textual and graphical information.
