I'll try to answer this question, but I'm not at all sure what you're
asking. Any game created without the use of ActionScript at all ... well, I
won't say it's an impossible endeavor, but almost all games are going to
require *some* programming, and most will require any where from "quite a
bit" to "a whole boat load" of programming.

Without ActionScript, the only interactive aspect I can think of -- at
all -- is to somehow use button symbol Over and Down frames as ...
something. Maybe a game called "Peekaboo," where you hover over a button
and it peeks a boo at you. ;)

I would go so far as to say, for all practical purposes, you can't make
games without ActionScript.

What is the difference in creating flash games in authoring time compared to
straight action script.

eg is one faster on performance than the other or they both are as good as
each other with things you can do etc.

Or the same answer you got to your identical post this morning.

That may be, but they're not programming games.

Animate a character? Yes. Programming interaction without programming?
No.

Sorry - But I have absolutely no idea what you just said or trying to say - or maybe asking?

What had happened is that i have posted the same message and forgot I had done
it already, otherwise I don't do these things deliberately, or maybe my
wireless went down and could see my other post.

Now I meant that some people I have spoken to rekon they use the authoring
time mostly with only a very small amount of actionscript, and really have no
use for knowing actionscript to any detail. They can create basic animation
with a background and interaction with another character.
