Having been to both flash seminars I have started to gain some sort of understanding of what flash can do, and how I can go about achieving what I wish to. I don't think I want to stick to a linear route as I would like the piece to have some form of user input navigation, allowing the user to decide the routes they wish to take during the narrative.
I have always liked the idea of Karma, in terms of your good and bad actions in life can ultimately predict the outcome later on. This is occasionally used in modern video games, titles includes; Fable 1 & 2, Fall Out 3, Infamous, etc. This allows the user to have some sort of control of their character, allowing you to make good/heroic choices or bad/evil choices, which in turn effect the outcome of the game.
This I believe, especially at my level of experience with Flash, would be quite difficult so I think simply giving the user some sort of self-chosen navigation will suffice for now.
For my actual Flash piece I have been toying with idea of a Zombie-like attack, in which the user plays a main character and has a run in with some particular nasty specimens, and from there can decide which routes to take, e.g. Flee, Fight, Allow yourself to be eaten! This I believe will be fairly easy to do, given some practise, and will still be quite an interesting story to play through.
