[Yr7-10it] Gamemaker , Flash Action Scripting

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Tony and listers,

 I am excited !!
For the first time in 17 years I am teaching a junior class - Year 8 IP ( 
Information Processing ).
The components of the course include gamemaker and flash action scripting 
and I am even more excited.
 I have been trawling some of the gamemaker.nl web sites tutorials but if 
there is an update on either of these topic resource lists could you please 
pass them on ?
 I did find an answer to this question through the search on the edulists 
site for "gamemaker" dated ( Thu Apr 27 17:36:38 EST 2006 below ) and have 
started working through it. If there is anything you wish to add I am all 
ears Tony:
