[Flash] Terrible Flash game tutorial (not really a game..)

[nets]

I wrote this in about 15 minutes, so there is probably loads of mistakes.

Open up Flash and create a new document, then go to Document Properties (CTRL + J). I've made the following modifications to my document:


Once in flash create a new symbol (ctrl + 8), choose button and name it target.
Draw a circle target with the width and height of 30.0 PX.


Go back to scene 1 and drag the button "target" from the libary (Ctrl+L).
Select the button once and click actions.
Paste in this A/S:

on(press){
target._x = random ('270'); // Places randomly
target._y = random ('270'); // Places randomly
points++; // Increases points
}

Now select frame one, and again choose actions (if it's not already up).
Paste this A/S in:

points='0'; // Creates variable
target._x = random ('270'); // Places randomly
target._y = random ('270'); // Places randomly

You now have all the needed action script. Select the target and open up properties (Ctrl + F3).
Under instance name type in "Target".


Now create a new layer, in this layer draw a text box in the corner.
Before clicking off of the text box open up properties and set the text to dynamic text, and the var to points.


You should now be able to play this "game" (if you can call it that). It's not really exciting, but this tutorial may help a beginner with A/S and Flash.

This question probably sounds noobish but...

Is Flash installed on PC from start, or do you have to download/buy it?

I don't think it is installed on pcs. You can download a 30 day trail from

If you scroll down it will say flash 8 then just click try .
