Response to: Vector Vs Bitmap Bg Plus Filter Lag Posted August 11th, 2007 in Game Development

I think if you double click on the object in the library, you can tick the box that says 'Allow Smoothing'.
I'm pretty sure that lets retain its detail when zoomed.

Response to: HELP regarding the ng loader Posted August 11th, 2007 in Game Development

Well if you school uses CS3, and you're learning CS3 and AS3, then you could always use this.
But if your school is using 8 and you're more used to it, you'd better switch to AS2.

Response to: Pause Menu Posted August 11th, 2007 in Game Development

I know how you would do it for a movie... Are you trying to pause a movie or a game?

Response to: Animation style? Posted August 11th, 2007 in Game Development

I think it's Rotoscoped.

You could always try the
Voice Acting Club. Be sure to read the 'How to post Auditions' thread.

Response to: My megaman flash (vs.crashman) Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

It's not that his walk cycle is choppy, it's that his knees don't bend. You should take a look at a walk cycle tutorial. There's some in the NG Flash tutorial collection.

Response to: Flash 5 to 8 Help! Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

I'll take a wild guess -
Are you publishing it in the right AS?
(File > Publish Settings > 'Flash' tab.)

Response to: CS3 focus isn't on flash movie Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

I'm pretty sure if you just clicked on the .swf window after it's exported, it'll keep its focus...

Response to: Backgrounds Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Just put it on a layer beneath the other layers that you're using to animate.

Response to: Have You Seen This Game? Posted August 10th, 2007 in Where is / How to?

Oh, I've played this game on Newgrounds, but it was so long ago, I forgot the name. Dx

10 minutes later : Funny, I found it.

Where she's walking.

Response to: VallenWood: Check out my flash? Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Looks good so far. But is it lagging, or is it supposed to be like that?
Have you tried Optimising your graphics? (Select the shape, Modify > Shape >Optimise. Or Ctrl + Alt + Shift + C). It might help.

The audio forum? That place is for the audio artist who make music and such.

Well, are you using scenes? Because they're known to mess up sound syncing.

I would probably suggest Imagebay. I actually lets you change the dimensions of the .swf.

And I get this problem, except that the progress bar just pauses half way and doesn't do anything, although, that could be my internet.

Response to: Animators Wanted! Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

1. Examples of your own work, you don't seem to have submitted any of your own to NG.
2.This is theoretically a collaboration, which you'll need to read about here.

And even if it wasn't you'd need to include the specs of it. eg; Stage size, Frame rate etc.

Response to: new to flash (menu help) Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Depending on what AS you're using... (Go to File > Publish Settings > 'Flash' tab) You'll get different answers.
If you want faster and somewhat more reliable answers, you're going to probably want to learn AS2, since it's more commonly known...
I'm sure if you go through the 'Button Tutorials' (With AS2) you'll get the hang of it, but you can't learn this stuff over night... Or just really quickly I should say.

Response to: new to flash (menu help) Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Wait, what's the Raw Materials going to help with? All it has is graphics.

Well you should probably take a look at the Newgrounds Tutorial Collection.

(And it should be a button if you're making a button...)

Response to: Symbol Registration Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

It usually makes the centre of the movieclip. When you're editing it, and you align to centre, it'll align to the registration point. It also makes the rotation point.

Response to: Flash CS3: Buttons fucked up Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Are you exporting it in AS3?

Response to: Time Crisis - Flash Style! Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

Hah, I was planning to do a Time Crisis remake. But with some minor changes =P
Anyway, I would agree with the 'Time Crisis doesn't have a gun showing' statement.

Response to: Pop up box Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

I'm guessing you mean in-flash pop-ups?
Well, you'd have to have a movieclip of the pop-up somewhere on stage, with the first frame blank. Then on the button you want to summon the pop-up have a code along the lines of :
popup.gotoAndStop(2);
popup
being the instance name of the movieclip.

Although, if you want an animated one, you' have gotoAndPlay(2);.
I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

Response to: Font question. Posted August 10th, 2007 in Game Development

If it's a static font, then in the .swf, it'll change into a shape.
But if it's dynamic, then it will turn into the persons computers default font.

Response to: Flash CS3 Posted August 9th, 2007 in Game Development

It was probably too troublesome, since you'd have to check the movieclip to see if there's AS on it, and to actually put it on it in the first place.

In AS3, you can control everything from the a single panel.

Response to: Which graphics program is your fave Posted August 9th, 2007 in Game Development

You could've kept this in your previous topic...
I suppose Photoshop, since it's supposed to be the best. But in reference to your other thread, it's not the program that makes the Flash better, it's the creator...

Response to: How does one zoom? Posted August 9th, 2007 in Game Development

Are you exporting in AS2? It's under publish settings under File.

Have you tried 'Ctrl + Enter'?

Response to: Flash Idea I had in mind... Posted August 9th, 2007 in Game Development

I think you're both going to get banned for even mentioning it. -_-"
And why would you post a script up? That would be like knowing the ending of HP7. Although that's if your flash movie gets recognised.

Response to: Mkay, Flash Open problems Posted August 9th, 2007 in Game Development

I'd say it was Vista. It's known to mess up Flash.
