Any chance of you making a Flas tutorial for a Point and click game like Nick Bounty???
I´ve been scouring the web for one but seemingly impossible to find.
Thank you

Unfortunately, creating a tutorial on the subject is just too overwhelming of a task to take on. I have coded my entire engine from scratch and am continually in the process of updating the scripts to include new features. Doing a tutorial would involve not just how to do simple things, like picking up objects, but also all of the coding involved with creating the basic engine functions, inventory managemnet, User Interface, and so on... it's simply to much to try to teach from scratch without abandoning all of my current projects. However, a fantastic alternative is to instead use a currently available engine like the LASSIE. Our currently in development game, Nearly Departed, is using this engine and it works great! It's also Flash based so it has all of the advantages that Flash gamning offers including cross platform accessability and the ability to play in a web browser. The program feature full documentation and a helpful support forum! Check it out here! www.gmacwill.com/lassie/lower.php?section=about&page=index
