Is it possible to disable anti-aliasing for a specific symbol in a flashmovie?
in a way that the rest of the movie is still anti-aliased like normal.

the real qustion is were did you downloud it from i wanted to but the stupid site crashed and
never came back..

the combat instinct games i used about 2 different commands in total by myself. Anything that was remotely complicated (like the sniper and ammo counter) i received help with.
Thats why i stopped making games

I asked a friend and he told me to remove the last line:

this.onEnterFrame();

and now it works fine.

This is all:

var reanimator = new Transform(this);
var camera = new Transform(this._parent);
var w:Number = Stage.width;
var h:Number = Stage.height;
this._visible = false;
this.onEnterFrame = function () {
this._parent.filters = this.filters;
var stageMatrix:Matrix = reanimator.matrix;
camera.colorTransform = reanimator.colorTransform;
stageMatrix.invert();
stageMatrix.translate(w*.5, h*.5);
camera.matrix = stageMatrix;
this.onEnterFrame();}</quote>

I did what the help file said:
-create a new layer
-insert camera symbol and tween all you like

I have just downloaded this flash extension called "Reanimator camera"

It should work just like Sham bangals vCam but with rotation working.
Sadly whenever this camera symbol enters the scene, actionscript crashes and all commands are ignored in the remainder of the movie. Does anyone know what the problem is and how i can get it to work properly?

I'm using flash 8 thanks.

I dont know what to think of it. But i know its stolen from somewhere

The bitmaps you imported are compressed into JPG making them look less good. Goto Publish settings and reajust the JPG compression. 90% will get out most discoloration and still be a reasonable file size. see what percentage fits you best

Why dont you just try it out with a test movie?
Please tell the result, i would also like to know what happens

All the movies ive done so far are without script. The story just evolved during the making of it. thats when the best ideas come up in me.

Hmm you need 10 artists. I hope you have figured out what you need 10 artists for and how you divide the task amongst them. You will need 10 artists that you can trust and that actually produce something instead of just saying that they want to join and then nothing... Also, organisation will probably take up most of your own time on the project. Most of the features also seem to be out of league for a flash game.

I wish you best of luck ;)

PS. i laughed my ass off reading this post

You can make the rotating coin more convincing by using "ease in" and "ease out"

for example:

O >tween ease in -100> --
-- >tween ease out 100> O

the O and -- representing the coin :)

save the file as a .PNG and import it into flash

If this doesnt work, you should just import to flash, use "Trace Bitmap" on the bitmap and it will be converted into vector graphics. Delete the black area

For better frame rate and file size performance do the following:
-Drag the black area away from the sprites that have been traced.
-Delete the sprites that are left.
-Place the bitmap again into the workspace (import from the library)
-select the bitmap and press CTRL+B 1 or 2 times (depends on your version of flash) you might have to resize the rectangle if it doesnt show the whole bitmap.
-Drag the black area you had before over the bitmap again, in such a way that it matches the silouhette of the sprites
-Deselect and select the black area
-Delete it and youre done.

I hope this helps

Or some people use what i'd like to call "cardboard 3d". It involves tweening parts of an object in such a way that it looks 3d. This technique is used in submissions such as Pico Reloaded (the bus and picos guns in some scenes). its cheap and effective when used right.

Thanks, that helped.
i was hoping for an easier solution but ah well

the death of this post means that its not possible right?

but i swear i saw it in some game...

There are a lot of southpark spoofs and copies on NG. And besides, those that make the actual southpark are not the kind of people that sue for the slightest bit of copyright infringement (they do it themselves in basically every episode!)

So dont worry and have fun animating :)

or you could format your computer (dont forget to backup) each time the trial runs out. I Dont see why that is illegal?

There is another easy way, but that is taboo here on NG ;)

To get a feel for this, go watch some random submissions, and some quality ones and keep an eye on how big their file size is.
5 mb is not a problem for most people nowadays... i can still remember the days when 1 mb was large

If you have any kind of complexity in your symbols, its is wise to use movie clips to save file size... If i had done what i have now using graphic symbol only, my movie would probably be 4 times as heavy or more.

Graphic information is stored for each individual frame while movie clips only store tween information. Having several graphics moving around the screen including special effects, i'd quickly be looking at 2kb per frame of just animation data... and having a movie of 8000 frames, it wouldnt be very nice now would it?

Maybe you should evacuate all the working tweens from the layer where the bad tween is in. and then delete the entire layer. you dont have to select it or goto its timespan this way

Even for making some games you only need to know simple things like stop, play, goto, target.
Thats how Combat Instinct was made :)

Please be more specific.
Do you want the cloud to roll over so that its upside down?
Or do you want to turn it around so that you can see its back at the end?

Is it possible to pause a movie and have all your movie clips on the scene pause as well? If i pause in a regular way, all movie clips just keep playing.

All i need is a quick answer yes or no (because i might not implement it anyway).

PS. targetting each individual movie clip by name to stop and play is not an option. because doing that would probably add 10 months of coding and 10 megs of code ;)

If you can find out of which game i took the screenshot, i will personally bring you a medal.

A shame MS paint has horrible jpg compression. but thats not my problem. On top of that, the picture got cropped because of size limit

You can completely customize it to make it unrecognisable. at least thats what im doing with it

i might need one :)
if you are going to make a demo, say something in it like: "Oh my god.. IM GETTING OWNED!" and mean it

never mind what i just said, i didnt see the last post
