Yeah, Flash is a pretty good choice to start designing games. The tips in this forum are good for mid-level learning (mostly animations). Hopefully someone here can help you start out.

Constuct your code so you can reuse it. Think of it as a personal product, that way when you create a new game; you already have 20% of the code you need.

If your copying and pasting the same lines of code over and over, you're likely doing something wrong; the solution is to make a function.

Get it to work first, then get it to work well. All other rules have no importance if you can't get the program to even work correctly. (That being said, these rules will likely help the program to work better in general so you should follow them.)

Would you like me to explain any of the above or possibly something else.

For making Flash games?
Adobe Flash Professional CS6 or CC - both of these are pretty costly, however you can get a free month trial for each.

I recommend you get a trial and follow an introductory tutorial on Flash such as this one: http://gamedev.michaeljameswilliams.com ... rial-base/
After a month if you still want to continue developing Flash games then you can either torrent acquire Adobe Flash, or move to a code only approach using an IDE such as FlashDevelop.
