Been sitting here for a good 5 hours, learning Actionscript 3.0 and Flash Develop. Both very interesting. But my god, actionscript 3 is a pain in the butt so much so that I'm nearly tearing my hair out trying to get things to work! This is also the first time I'm using external .as files too. Very new to the concept. However I shall continue to explore and learn.
I'm also having problems with Armed with Wings 3. Not technical issues at all but major, MAJOR motivation issues. Not even a big pay check is motivating me. The project is nearly dead to me! I can only bear about 10 minutes on it a day. I should have planed it much better. The original design turned out to be too complex and since then I've been blindly working as I go and as a result I've created a mostly boring experience. At least that's how it feels to me.
And so I'm going to post a demo for you Newgrounders to play and review. I'd love some feedback on how much you enjoyed it, if you would continue to play, what you would like to see implemented, gameplay mechanics... yaaada yadaa....
I hope you enjoy this piece of turd. At least the graphics are good.
EDIT: Armed with Wings 3 is Actionscript 2.0

so are you using classes now?
AS3 + flashdevelop can help you produce some really powerful stuff, stick with it.

Yup. Still trying to get my head around it and actually UNDERTAND what I'm coding. I'm sitting here typing 'n I'm all like "why am I importing this? extends movieclip? e:Event, why the e:?"
I've been reading over some AS3 stuff briefly for the past week or so, but the last few hours I've been following this guys tutorial
