I have two questions about flash.
1. Does anyone know any good support forums for Adobe Flash?
2. I'm trying to build the game Pente on Flash. Currently, I need to have it so that when I click on one of the grid intersections, a token will appear. If it is player 1's turn, a red token will appear, if it is player 2's turn, a blue token will appear. I have a counter on the board so all the players (and the game) knows who's turn it is. I have the board in the background and I have overlaid all the intersections of the grid with a movie clip. Within the movie clip, on frame 1 there is a transparent square that is clicked on, on frame 2 there is a red token, and on frame 3 there is a blue dot. My idea is that when you click on an intersection (which you see when the token is on it's invisible 1'st frame), if it is player 1's turn it will switch to frame 2, otherwise it will switch to frame 3 but I keep getting a message saying that I can't do this. Can someone help me figure out how to accomplish this? the link to a youtube tutorial on something like this would be great. Thanks for the help.
PS: I also need it to run a check to see if there are tokens on the same (non-1st) frame in a row once per turn. Will this be very hard to program?
PS: I built a working version of this using c++ a while ago. I included the executable and the cpp file if anyone would like to see how the final product will work. I'm using flash because I want to get better with flash and I happened to have the program on my computer from a class I took a few years ago (and sadly forgot most of).
Edit: I just realized this might be helpful. So far I've been using this youtube video for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14CI0zBjtf8&feature=related
I did the project without any problems and understood it all and have been using the things I learned from watching this video in making my pente game.
