lol recoil, this is where creativity comes in. Take the main components of your game and think up a fresh concept, then make it in your favorite app and optimize it and build in flash etc...

its not a software skin. its just a game in flash. i would suggest you pick up a giant actionscript book and get learning. nobody can explain to you on this messageboard easy steps to making a game. there are plenty of books out there that will tell you though.

You need to find out what you're game is written in and if its web compatable. You can't just throw stuff on the web (much to the surprise of most clients ;-)
If its written in Flash, you could make an interface (what you're calling a skin) but that will only work if the game is written in Flash. Otherwise you're going to have a lot of headache if its possible at all...
Hope that helps a little bit...

I think the reason you're not getting the answers you're after is because it's obvious to all of us that you're in over your head and we're not in a position to walk you through what you need to get the job done.
Whoever it is that asked you to do this project - communicate with them about what they want so you can understand better.
Having done that, if you don't know where to start then you should probably tell the client that you're not comfortable doing the project.

Mick is right man, sorry. Start working at design and web dev skills, in which right now it would help you to learn Flash and how to embed the object in at least HTML. ;)

okay, im not a fucking idiot, i can do that kind of shit. I understand I'm not a great web designer. I started about a year ago and I'm only fourteen, how could I be good? All I want is some tips and help, so if you cant give me that, then dont respond to my post.

ok, you're 14
i feel a lot better now
don't call yourself a web designer - cause you're not a professional
14 year olds can hammer boards together - but that doesnt make them carpentersbasically you need to know what medium this game is in, be it flash, director, or java
theny ou get the dimensions - and build artwork around those dimensions in photoshop or illustrator to start out with.then work it into an html or flash design

okay, that helps a lot, thank you for leading me in some direction (i always forget to say im fourteen at the beginning of my posts, but i guess i should huh?) Thanks
