AUSTRALIAN... britains younger brother :(

Um yeah kid go learn from the tutorials rather than copy/pasting the code. It mite take you a good couple of years but flash game programming is a good hobby, even part time job in some cases

Okay well ill be honest, i use AS2 cos im too lazy to hop onto the AS3 bandwagon, but thats basically because when i was learning all the tutorials were AS2. Now if all you AS3 users are so annoyed about AS2 users, why dont u make it easier for everyone, especially those only starting Actionscript, and spam the web with 100's of AS3 tutorials? Thus ending the age old excuse for learning AS2 over AS3.

a) learn to spell and use proper grammar, its censorship not censure ship or wateva
b) its idiotic to post a whole topic of ur rant, dont do it again please :)
c) ignore these 'clowns', who really cares what anyone thinks about you these days

Hahaha so true......

Screw learning AS3, AS4 is the cool kids language.... oh if only.....

Store the code on the timeline or within the MC itself

There are some really nice platformer tutorials here:

NG Tutorials

GL

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
	if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
		this.gotoAndStop(4);
		this._x -= 3;
		}else{
		this.gotoAndStop(3);
	}
}

Oh and some ppl (eg, Archon hahahaha ;D) are likely gonna say code on timeline so

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
		MCname.gotoAndStop(4);
		MCname._x -= 3;
		}else{
		MCname.gotoAndStop(3);
	}
}

Yeah ^ should work but i think he just used <depth>, etc just as a filler, as an example of wat hed put

hahaha ive been using 120fps for a game engine ive been messing around with. I suggest 30-35 for a game, 24 - 30 for movie

It's a good thread about not making bad ones.

Hahaha, thats debatable ;D hahaha

i find it ironic youve made an entire thread about not making threads

They spend all the time, effort, and money on the commercial advertising the product, yet the acting or "performance" is completely irrelevant to the product. (i.e) The new Black Berry commercial with the dancing, and the band BlackBerry or the Sony Bravia T.V commercial with the bouncing balls Sony I just don't get the point, So I want you to make a Flash of your own pointless commercial for some product (Real or Made-up).

MMmm sorry mate u dont hav a high enough BA to host a collab. I suggest going to get a mod permission cos this is a good collab idea. Or making some flash to boost up ur BA. Anyways yeah get some experience with flash and learn the collab rules before starting collabs.

For only one instance, name the MC 'bob' or watev then on main timeline

bob._alpha = //watev transperancy

And to stop it being see through

bob._alpha = //value >= 100

A few scary small things here and there created by the optimization, but ya still can see what I've made.

Hey ur preloader is screwed and it doesnt seem to be loading for me, might just be me though. But yeah ur preloader is screwed either way hahaha. Loading bar's mask doesnt seem to work

on(rollover){
_visible = false
// or
_alpha = 0
// or
unloadMovie(this)
}

for as2 just go

_root._alpha = //insert transperancy value

if (juicy ==1) {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}
if (juicy ==2) {
gotoAndPlay(9);
}

Lol yeah can we let it die now? i laughed but it burns my soul reading threads like this.

Good job making a whole other thread instead of a response BTW

Anyways try and learn the code urself OP, its not really hard, and nobodys going to write out the whole code for you anyway. Try and learn from tutorials rather than just copying the code.

WACOM jokes:
- All Ur Wacom Are Belong To Us
- Wacom i dont have a wacom?
- Wacom in the Middle
- Download Wacomplete
- Wacomation

Yeah its hard to (wa)come by quality comedy material like that

Sorry... :(

Actually all of the replies u got would be acceptable depending on what you really wanted (eg the distance between objects, the difference between x pos, etc)

Hmm... that's odd. Looks like this mystery is still unsolved. Maybe it's because all your submissions are games?? Try submitting a movie and see what happens.

I didnt think of that. Ill hav to try it some time...

At 12/17/09 10:31 PM, Nayhan wrote:

No, you've actually only got 2 solo submissions, so farfenwaffle is probably right. You need three solo submissions to get a batting average.

i got 5 solos and still dont have a BA. i bet its just some glitch in the system or something. Its not hard to calc ur BA by urself anyway so its probs at the end of the list for Newgrounds THINGS TO DO/FIX

For my final year project i have negotiated with my tutors to create an animated flash comic, What does this have to do with game design you ask? well not much lol unfortunatly for me i am neither an artist nor programmer i am looking to get into design and project management. Coming up with concepts and stories for games which can then be created.

I dont get it. Why would u negotiate to make a flash animation when u cant even do one, no art, no programming...? i just find that confusing, as it seems u hav placed all ur trust in the Newgrounds Community...? Anyways good luck. PS u might want to post how much ur willing to pay...

A game developer can win a tablet if they show good potential with their art. You could try scanning some of your drawings and posting them to your art page for reference!

Thanks for answer Tom. Ive decided to try and draw every Wacom winner from now on, hopefully itll earn me a Wacom. Even if it doesnt though i can work some skills ;)

You say it can make you less sensetive to sex, I say it makes you last longer.

Ha Agreed. IMO studies prove nothing. I bet that another study will come out some time disproving this theory. Thats what has and always will happen in science

On timeline:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

Radians = Math.atan2 (ymouse-gun._y, _xmouse-gun._x);  

Degrees = Math.round((Radians*180/Math.PI)); 

gun._rotation = Degrees;
}

Congrats PixelCake, i can appreciate anyone who makes good digital artwork ;D

Anyways TOM u never answered my question from yesterday :O

Yeah if anyone can answer thatd be good...
So can a game developer attempt to apply for one of the Wacoms? My arts extremely gay due to the fact i dont have a mouse or tablet (laptop), and i dont think ill be submitting any animations any time soon but im working on some games. Id love to have a tablet to improve my art for them. I just want to know so that hopefully i can apply next year :D

Thanks in advance

Hahahahah. Hot.
