You can use Flash Professional to create graphics and do your animating, building the content as .swfs, and then import those into Flash Builder where you do all the programming. … Flash Builder doesn't do anything with .fla files directly. …

If you simply set gravity to zero then the physics simulation works well for a top-down game.

Flash is a very established gaming platform because of the combination of ActionScript 3 and a host of powerful multimedia capabilities. … As others are pointing out, you can compare ActionScript to JavaScript, and you can compare Flash to HTML 5, but comparing Flash to JavaScript is like saying "Which is better, Linux or C#?" …

Well as explained here it is pretty easy to get the perpendicular vector from the movement vector: Let's say you have a boat that has cannons that fire to the left and right. Given that the boat …

I recommend adding events to the MovieClips of interest and not a general handler on the stage that you then sort into different objects. The massive switch statement or whatever that you'd be writing …
