If anyone knows where I can find some tutorials on the matter, please shoot me a msg!

Thank you.

bump your DPI to 200 and use PNG's

i'd be interested in helping you out on this. shoot me a pm with some more information

Bushido character Chu!

just a concept and quick animation test

i'm guessing you're running some type of fetch command.

just put a small file at the url you're linking to and if the fetch fails then display the error

that looks...awful

all I can do is shitty Moving images

well you can tween or FbF, depends on what you want to do. read some books and practice.

good place to start is the animators survival kit, after that the BCA flash chapters from Adam Phillips available over at www.biteycastle.com

understandable

i'm still learning so whatever you throw at me is a good thing

i read your tutorials egg, very helpful, especially on the if, else structure

okay thanks.

never was good at cleaning up after myself

so i took suggestions, i did some reading, and i got it working O_o

surprised myself too

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, main);
function main(event:Event)
{
	flame.gotoAndPlay((int)(Math.random()*28));
}

thanks for all the help.
i'll probably stick to AS 1/2.0 for some of these simple frame actions, but i'm starting to get 3.0

throw down a demo. i'm in need of talent

update:

i'm actually a LOT happier with this version:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/c998c5e0e219151a888aa10a 79a2c7ed

but you said to stay away from filters. i jut think they add so much, like here the force of the impact is seen in the vertical blur.

let me know which is preferred

while the project sounded fun, i'm turned off by the 2 threads and blatant phishing for attention

i don't see any details

here ya go zeeb

http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/b30eeb7f332909a47e84cff1 a8d0e5c5

i'm done with this one. it's getting too busy

if i do more than one i'll compile in one FLA, then pass it off to be converted down from CS6

some of those prices are whack man. also there's so many out there looking to do games for free that you might want to cater to a business world more than the cutesy shit.

get a better portfolio going and you'll get more love

do you have skype ?
damn i need a lot of lessons
my drawing is horrible

no only aim. it's free, just DL it!

okay, so 3.0 is closer to C+ in that it has unending variables but they are all user defined

thanks again egg

so both 2 and 3.0 have event listeners, but in 3.0 they must be defined, whereas 2.0 they were already defined(but limited to) load, enterFrame, etc?

i'll read up on your tutorials in your sig

so with the on.enterFrame command gone in AS 3.0, i was wondering how i would execute this command and get the same effect with my effect.

here is the effect:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/a06a9d55c5847d7754f74787 589c20ef

the flames on the left use a MC code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	gotoAndPlay(random(28)*0);
}

the slower flames on the left are using a frame command inside the MC

gotoAndPlay(random(28));

how can this be changed to AS 3.0 without losing the individual effects?

thanks for any help :D

Yeah, I'll do that.

i need my skull contribution converted down to too. it's in CS6.

any of my other parts will be done in flash 8 so no problems

if you have AIM i can give pointers, but don't expect a full time teacher.

check your export settings.

damn how much did that cost you max?

when i tell you promise not to shit your pants okay?

$125

can't you WINE flash 8 on mac? and the CS6 suite is usable on mac so get that trial from www.adobe.com

the other skulls are just 2 modified graphics so a shadow won't be a problem. glad you like it.

i changed it from blackfade to white in the beginning. so it's white in white out. more versatile. working on another one now, you should like this one a little more

this whole post gives me the idea you're like...17 >_>

i don't use a mac, a mouse, or a tablet, but i seem to do okay

i have a hybrid laptop with a stylus. on-screen drawing FTW

you'll want flash or toon boom. get a trial and don't mention keygens again.

Get flash, or if you want to stay in pivot - read tutorials on http://darkdemon.org/

take it easy, the guy obviously just started and doesn't even know what software to use yet.

i'd say don't even bother sticking with pivot or you'll find yourself limited and frustrated when you want to do more

lol your ad fly?

Also, this is optional, but if you want, you can do a looping heavy waves animation.

ahem

like i said, are you asking for help or asking for someone to do it.

and this belongs in flash or animation

uh pivot?

well you'll want a better program like flash or toon boom.

the way of the tweened sticks are over. it's all brush FbF now. you'll want to get a decent tablet (~$40) so you have good control of your strokes.

check out the flash CS6 trial and there's a lot of tutorials out there, even on youtube
