I created this game on Game Maker 8 and I would like to submit it to AG. However, I have no idea how to turn into a flash file! OR what exactly to do.

Could someone give me a detailed tutorial please?

Thank you,
Cylos

you can't submit gamemaker files here, and you can't turn them in flash games. Sorry.

Well what type of game design files do the pros use?

You need to submit an SWF file, which can be made with Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex SDK.

@Cylos,

There are some alternatives to buying Flash which might be worth investigating.

For example I found a Q&A for programmers at stackoverflow which mentioned wonderfl.net, a free online flash builder, and FlashDevelop, a free and open source Flash ActionScript source code editor, amongst other things.

The only problem is the programs you are suggesting will not be compatible with AG

Really? That's unfortunate. Free and open source tools are the way of the future.

Here's another couple more cool and free resources for making Flash games (not compatible with AG): FlashPunk and flixel.

I had this question too... I guess I know the answer now.

Are there any plans to allow GM games in the future?
