Building a Simple Hangman Game with Flash – part 1
Developers use Flash for lots of different types of applications. You’ve probably seen full Flash web sites, photo galleries and e-learning applications. Flash is particularly well-suited for building games and I’m sure you’ve seen many examples on the Web.
In this two part tutorial series, I’m going to show you how to build a simple hangman game. If you haven’t played hangman before, it’s a game where users have to guess a word, given the number of letters. In our games, users will be able to guess 8 different letters to try and solve the word. For each incorrect guess, another part of the hangman is built. The user loses when the hangman is completed.
