Hi, I have been doing some flash development (im getting really into it ;)) and my opinion of flash has grown leaps and bounds over the last few weeks. I am a fan of Maple Story and was wondering what kind of limitations a developer would face if creating something similar with Flash and actionScript. Could anyone briefly outline the major difficulties of this for me? Or point me in the right direction. I have no networking experience but know a tiny bit about OOP, classes in c++ and whatnot though i never got into visual c++. Ps. Here is what i have been working on: CCBT_Game.rar

One clarification needed before I answer you question: Do you want this to be single player, or a web-based MMO?

if you are looking to make an MMO, (I've made one myself in Flash) you will most certainly be using some form of removeMovieClip. If you find yourself using that function I emplore you to google the swapDepth resolution to depth issues with it. Also, using bitmaping sequences (2^n) and Ascii codes to minimize traffic with the server can work wonders. Most importantly: I recommend -- even if you are not making an MMO -- not to use hitTest. You can easily make your own functions for the same outcome and it will save you the hassle of some known issues with the function.
