Flash games

I’m still plugging away with the games.  I’ve taken a detour to learn how to create games with Flash.  I’m reading ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University by Gary Rosenzweig.  I just created my first game – a memory/matching game – just like the first game in my other game programming book.  My biggest issue with Flash games has been learning the Flash tool and understanding how what I create in Flash relates to what I program in ActionScript.  For example, you can create a Symbol/Movie Clip in Flash which you can then use in your ActionScript.  Sometimes I can get the Movie Clip setup correctly and then be able to do something with it in my ActionScript.  Then sometimes I can’t, and I’m not sure what I have or haven’t done.  Since I’ve been able to successfully create a game, I’m assuming with time the relationships will all become clear.
