Star Wars For Noobs

This game was made with Adobe Flash and it's based on a game my class-mate, Rafael Toledo, and I did called Star Wars for Noobs. I've been using Flash since 2000, but I've never used any Action Script until today. In the Spring of 2011 I took CSCI 3326, a Java programming class, and for our final exam we had to make a game using whatever we have learned throughout the semester. After having so much fun making a game in Java, and seeing that I have around 3 weeks until summer classes begin, I decided to try to recreate the game on Flash. In took me one full day to finish it, and in my opinion it's a lot better than the Java version. Sure it can use some improvements, but I'll save that time and energy to work on another project. I did this to become familiar with Action Script's syntax, and I was surprised to learn that it's similar to Java. Just look at the following example:
JAVA: x = (int) (centerx - 100.0 * Math.sin(t) );
Action Script: _x = centerx - 100.0 * Math.sin(t);
