There, I put your dreams in to reality for you.

Games can't just be thought up and poofed out. It takes a lot of practice to be able to program a game then be able to apply the gameplay from your original design to it. If you want to make free games, start with Java or C++ and start there. Bad side to it is you won't be capable of making your own games after 2+ years of intense study.

C++ before Action script 3.Thats a bit new to me,but OK.I guess I am lucky since I am currently learning C++ though anyways,but from what I have heard it is a bit more difficult to learn then some other languages for some reason although I could have gotten it mixed up with some other C based programming language.

It's better to learn a formal language first before you jump in to something a bit dodgy like AS. I'd recommend Java over C++ though because you don't have the pointers in there.
