Troy Gilbert: Getting Started with Flash Game Development

Troy Gilbert of Mockingbird Games talks about getting started with Flash game development. He talks about straight Flash dev as well as working with Flex or Actionscript direct development.

I think one thing that folks dont realize about Flash (game) development is that you dont have to rely on the traditional Flash IDE with it's timelines and movie metaphors for building games. You can now write directly in Actionscript3 or Flex and can do it completely with free tools.
