It is impossible to get a flash game onto Xbox live, you need to develop the application in C# using the XNA framework, also hello and welcome to the forums, you can introduce yourself here: http://elysianshadows.com/phpBB3/viewto ... art=999999

yeah i know c++ is the most powerfull lang in the entire universe!!!!! but even if i wanted too i dont think i would like devving in c++ since i like drawing and thats one of the main reason why i choose flash plus you can also create cartoons and entire websites with flash creating webapps and sites with flash is a good way to earn quick money :)

In Java you can make web apps and embed them into websites...

Also, you still need to draw the graphics in any applications you create, in any language. I assume you mean "you prefer the art side of things, and don't want to program, as much as you want to create art anyway"

That's fair enough, because I'm the complete opposite, I prefer the programming side to the art, and i'm not currently in it for the money as you put it, that's going to come later, when I have something worthy of money to show :lol:

yeah its all about what you like more the programming or the art also many people are amazed at the amount of money you can earn by creating a website i can earn about 400 bucks in 1.5weeks but that happens rarely i usually only get around 100 but thats still alot considert that i am only 13 :shock2:

Also try approaching local businesses. A shop opened in the town where I live and I noticed they have a basic website (just background colour and text) and asked if they wanted to hire me to design and implement a better site, they agreed and in 2 weeks (maximum) I should be roughly £200 better off.
