learn c++
I would like to know what exactly i have to learn to create a program that runs like a flash animation. Like you start with a menu, and you can have functions like moving around like a character or clicking on something to learn about it (with text). What should i learn to do this if i am to accomplish it within a month

lol, good luck with that goal.
You will need knowlege of c and/or c++, and then an API. Please tell us which OS you are coding on, and then we can suggest some suitable API's. |

 Seriously. I believe you can get a demo version of the various authoring tools from Macromedia's site. If it needs to be done without third-party plugins/libraries/etc, then you'll need to learn lots, probably more than you'll likely find possible in a month (unless you have no plans for the holidays). In the long run, learning DirectX might be the best way, but the learning curve is a bit steep (you need to learn basic Windows stuff, plus COM stuff, before you can even start with DirectX code). Given the time constraints, I'd recommend learning about basic Windows stuff like registering/creating a window, the window's callback function, and the message loop. Then, you should be able to get by with judicious use of menus, intercepting mouse messages, and calling BitBlt().

LOL. Dude, if you know flash, and you want to make a program that looks like flash, then make it in flash. You can always put it into a program in another language, but stick to what you know if it makes it less complicated.
