Hello!
I'm new to Quest, so could someone please tell me how to properly lock and unlock rooms in the flash version of Quest?

There isn't a flash version of Quest as far as I know.

He/she is probably referring to the web based version.

I'm using the downloaded application so I don't know if there are differences or not.

You don't lock rooms as much as you lock and unlock exits. So when you have two rooms and you create an exit from one to the other, then look at the room and find that exit. If you click on it, you can set whether it's locked or not by default.

Also, if you give it a name, then you reference it in scripts (specifically the "Lock exit" and "Unlock exit" script commands). But you must name it. Exits have no name by default.

you should go through the tutorial, it is really helpful for doing the basics with quest.
