Blue I looked at Flash (30 Day Trial) i understand the scripting but I cant find where you click or what you do to create a sprite.

Alright. I know how to do that! Anyways (using ActionScript 2.0):

The white background is the stage (I will use mostly Scratch terms). Now, make something (say a circle). So now you have a circle. Right click it and go to to "convert symbol". Click that, and name it (lets call it circle) and make sure "movie clip" is selected. Now near the bottom in the left hand corner should be a panel*. Go down to properties, and you will see "<instance name>". Type circle in there. Now on the right hand side again is a panel. Click actions. Now you can choose what to code!

*If not, go to window>properties>property

My dad said that I might be able to get my website hosted- once I finish it. It will be Bluestribute INC. It will have my Flash games and other people's Flash games (people on Scratch who have Flash). Though I have only been working with Dreamweaver for about 10 minutes XD, I have a basic home page. Just need to format my Mouse Attack page…

i wish you hadn't quit scratch...

You should at least make one more project in 1.3.

Once you get flash you should sign up for a newgrounds account. They have a submission portal and each submission gets at least 1000 views. You can also do a collaborative project with me if you want.

You can also get your games sponsored for cash if you sign up at
http://www.flashgamelicense.com/

Your programs just might pay for themselves that way 

Also, here is one tutorial on flash that will help a lot. Just learn up to intermediate then you will be able to code some decent games.

I'm looking at it now. And i don't think you would want to do a project with me- All I can do is my Mouse Attack. 1 frame of play, 1 frame of score telling

For some reason the left side of the column is all gray, and you cant click on any of the options Im not sure why...

beats me. I cant even do a platformer (basic)

Yes flash is hard lol. I spent most of my time just drawing 12 images.

Me and blues have both made games already, like after 2 days for me 1 day for blues 

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/452553 Well there is Mouse Attack (named differently)- my very first game. Go quickly before it gets deleted (and read the notes. I forgot to add more spikes)

Wow, thats terrible. Thats ok though,  my first was pretty bad too. At least you seem to know some of the basics.

I know XD. I'm tryign gravity now, and pretty happy- It detects the ground and walls! With gravity! Now for smoother jumping and enemies… and than make it better… than upload

Can't wait to see

Here is a platformer engine I coded.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/070808/13184_platformer_engine.fla

It demonstrates how to properly detect walls, detect floors, do gravity and other essential platformer stuff.

I get what it is, but very complicated. Most like everything you do is. Basically, my problem is this:

_root.gravity*.5

what should that be? I wait until the character touches the ground to activate that code, but it gets choppy when set to 100

All I see is a variable. I have no clue how this variable is affecting the program.

But for gravity try translating my gravity demos in scratch into actionscript. I learned those scripts from actionscript scripts.

My flash platformer engine also demonstrates gravity so you may want to check it out.

Oh you want it to bounce? You should have said that.

Then reverse the gravity.
I am pretty sure this bouncing is also covered in my gravity done right scratch project.

_root.gravity*= -0.9;
