Hi,

I am needing to make a drag and drop dress up style game for my uni work, however have no clue where to start. I am proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign but by the looks of the software offered by Adobe, I am needing to use Animate? Is this the best software?

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Correct answer kglad

yes, animate would be a good choice for a drag and drop game.

Besides of what klad and Colin suggested, you can consider exporting your game as an AIR for desktop application and send to the players. They shouldn't have to install anything.

I do this a lot with my clients.

Thanks Colin & kglad!

I have managed to get the activity working and have exported as an 'swf' file however when sending the link to others they don't seem to be able to open the game.. is their another format I can export in or do you have any advice on how they can get this to work?

Can I export as a HTML? When I try to it only loads a blank screen in my browser?

These are probably really obvious questions, sorry and thanks again!

you should link the html that embeds the swf. that will work for users that have a browser that displays flash/swf.

creating an html5 project would be viewable by more people, but would require different (javascript, not actionscript) code.

Hi, I am being given the error messages on the top image when trying to export my document (to test if its working) however my code doesn't have a Column 2 on either Line 16 or Line 20, it simply jumps from 1 to 5, anyone have an idea of how to fix this issue?

Thanks!
