The course will now teach people how to make the game "Cavern Escape" using ActionScript 3.0 as the language.

This means people will need a tool capable of using AS 3.0 such as Adobe Flash CS3 Professional.

The main reasons for this change are:
-ActionScript 3.0 is actually easier to learn than 2.0 overall, and has more in common with other standard languages. This allows for people to learn it faster and be able to apply their knowledge to other languages.
-ActionScript 3.0 has much better performance than 2.0. This means your games and other applications will run much faster on average.
-ActionScript 3.0 is simply the latest language available to use in Flash, and would make adapting to new AS versions even easier.

Given the large variety of responses received, there may be more than one course produced to cater to the different types of flash game designers.

The current course will be about designing a first-person adventure game using either Flash CS3 or Flash 8. Actionscript 2.0 will be used due to its popularity.

The course will be available in both video and written transcript form. It will be available online along with the source code and other elements needed to make the game.
