Trying to create a game that works in a similar fashion to Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars.
Does anyone know where I could learn to make a game such as those?

A good place to start is (the classic) Tonypa's tile-based tutorials. If you are using AS3 ignore the code but soak up the concepts:

For tile code, it can be found all over, in both AS2 and AS3, but starting with a solid understanding of a tile based engine is a good idea.

thanks very much for sharing the tutorial!

now what's left is the whole turn based concept, attacking sequences, and figuring out how to make an AI that can make moves intelligently.
