text: any advice on how to design a flash game? and also how to post it in the web? thanks in advance. i would suggest starting with:  http://www.gotoandplay.it/  this site has a lot of source files, tutorials, and an active forum.  as an experienced flash game developer, i am consistently impressed by the site.  as far as books go, there are a variety of them out there.    i worked on one called flash mx 2004 game programming (it is part of that game programming series).  now that flash 8 is out, it is a bit hard to find, but i have gotten good feedback.  nothing is radically different about how you approach programming a game in flash 8, you just have some access to much cooler visual capabilities.  also, if you are interested, i write a blog at http://justin.everett-church.com and write about game development for the web and for mobile devices (flash lite) periodically.
