I am actually new to android programming and I was wondering how an game engine such as the starling engine works. I have previously programmed in canvas, surfaceView and I was able to make simple 2D games, but now I want an easier way to make a much action game. Therefore, I had to pick a simple engine, and through research I found out that the starling engine is one of the easiest to learn, and deploy.
However, I wanted to ask how you use the engines in programming for Android, because in their tutorials, I am really confused on how you turn it into an android game.
So, my main question is what can you use ActionScript language with, and if you can use it to develop an Android app, just like you would on canvas SurfaceView.
