Ok let's start!!

::How to use flash?::
Well it's a very popular programme so I think I don't have to explain that's much well let's try out some basic first open up Flash programme and make a circle using a circular tool then look up and you see a timeline right click on any frame of the timeline frame is one square of the timeline press F6 to created a keyframe,Keyframe is a frame that you can put stuff in such as picture well if you press CTRL+ENTER you will see just a circular in your screen right well cause when you created the keyframe you'll notice a circle you drawn at the first frame will appear at the exactly same spot as the first one if you tried to drag it somewhere else and CTRL+ENTER you will see in a flash the cirlcle appear in the place you drag the circle to but we don't want that it's happening too fast so first delete all frame except the first frame and then click on the first frame you'll see the circle you draw at first right? then click right on the first frame then click on create motion tween you can also created a shape tween,too but leave that's for later well after that you'll see that the first frame colour change to kinda purple then you click on any blank frame you like then press F6 once the frame is created you see a pointer pointing to the frame you'll created then tried move the circle somewhere else on the last frame you created press CTRL+ENTER then you should see the circle moving the place where you place it last if the circle move too fast tried making the last frame longer how fast the circle move is how long the frame is. To delete a frame you have to click on the frame you want to delete to and then hold SHIFT+F5. then look at the left side of the timeline you'll see a little graybox if you didn't change anything there should be a text written there "Layer1" you can double click on the text box to change the name of the layer you can click on a little icon of a paper to created another layer when you created picture the picture should be on top of the picture of the layer that's below the layer you've selected and also Flash get confuse easily so sometime you place a picture in a layer flash will put the picture in the wrong layer so thinking about safty as see in the right side of the Layer box you see a picture of a keylock and an eye click on the dot that's in the same line of the keylock a lock will appear in the layer if you click on the eye the picture in the layer will disappear(Don't worry you can click on the eye agian to get it back)if the layer has an eye on it it's mean that the layer is blind and you can't see the picture in them and if there a lock on the layer the layer can not interfare with your work on the other layer you can unlock the layer later when you need to use the layer. Oh yeh and as promise here how's to use shape tween same as motion but sometime if your picture doesn't good enough the outline mess up and blamm!! good to use with like some kinda water movement.

::Putting Music in::
Putting music in is real simple click on File then click on import then select a music then it should be in your libary part which is on the right of the screen then you can created a layer name it Music or sumthin of that sorta stuff then lock or other layer and then drag the music from your libary inside the stage (if your libary is not there press CTRL+L) that's it folk all's done^_^

::Making an Intro::
Well I learn this from the cool guy DragonBlaze which you guys known was a real cool dude, so ok here how to make an introduction to the game you should kind make your strolyline first

What happened?
What happened in your game did something bad happened?

Who's the main character?
Who's your hero? Who's going to save the world

Bad guys
Who's the bad guy's of the game

Setting
Where the thing take place?

To make the start of the game you need to know the strolyline and your hero first:

Conflict:
Some game start off by conflict war battle!!

Mysterious:
Some game start off mysteriously like FF9 where at first you need to find your way to lit the candle then you find the dragon head guy who actually our boss

Memory:
Some game start off by tracking down hero memory of the past such as harvest moon friend of mineral town GBA(Which is not an RPG game but good example)

there a lot of start for a RPG game but to be right no game start off by hero appear and say "Hey dude I going to save the world man~" and then he kill a demon and then the game end the player probably going to be so bored and say "This game sucks like hell" then he'll delete the game off his com.

::What's OP,ED::
Well some game start off by using a movie with music such as Dark Cloud2 when you play for about 5 minute there will be an Opening music which will probably be the Ending,too

::OP::
OP is the opening of your game to make the player get what's it's going to be like when you play on in this game where you have a music on with a picture like when you were watching Anime.

Intro:
OP start off usually by introducing the character

Battle:
Then the music get to the chorus and then some battle scene will happend

Conclusion:
In the end of opening them there will be like the hero watching the sky or the hero walk on by the road or some cool stuff like that

Usually I make movie with flash 8 I dunno what's you guy's use but here how to make it in flash8 first created your movie and then click on Save As as you notice the file will save as a SWF. file which is shockwave file so instead don't save as click on Export>>>Export Movie instead then on sound format chose whatever you like but you have to choose one or else there will be no sound then click ok till you choose your path choose Enterbrain and then click on your project then go to your project movie folder and then check on the bottom that the movie file say AVI. then you are all set bro congratulation!!

::ED::
The ED is simple unlike the OP well, do the same thing as you created a OP but instead use this instruction:

Well ED doesn't need much infomation in them to catch interest now cause the player just finish the game ED is there for the player to relax and think "I finish the game Yeah!!" so no problem!!  just like make a picture of your hero and then make it move and then disappear move and then disappear no animating,to do that you'll need my instruction well...First click on the frame the pic was in and then click right and click created motion tween(In Flash)and then click on the picture which probably be cover in a blue box by now click on a box on the right and then make it Alpha leave it 100% or 0% if you like 0% will make your hero disappear but don't worry he's just transparent then created another frame and then make the pic Alpha 100% or 0% repeat the ED TUT to create a disappear and reappearing picture.

ED often show credit to player more than the OP so make lotta credit
