Does anyone know?

On the button you would put this:

on (press) {
_root.songName.stop();
_root.gotoAndStop(frameNumber);
}

yeah, if the song is streaming inside a movieclip, that'd work.

but if not:

on(release) { //because who wants to just CLICK on a button, amirite?
stopAllSounds();
_root.gotoAndStop(frame number);
}

-What do you think about it?

it's not that great. there's not a whole lot to do in this demo. but as far as stability goes, it's fairly solid. i really don't like the collision detection on the left side, though, and i don't like the ability to fly when i hold up. the jetpack should come out sooner.

-what score might I get once I submit the full version?

your demo is extremely limited, so i don't know what the full version will look or play like. based on this, i'd say 2.6 to 3.1

-what do you think I should add?

a random sex cutscene. :D

-what do you think I should improve?

the graphics. lawdy lawdy, they ain't good. i've seen a lot worse, but that doesn't make this any better. you said the newer version has better graphics, so i don't really know what else to say.

-any comments you would like to add?

Cypo, i'm not exactly sure what your problem is. you sent me a file without the newgrounds preloader, and i don't see why it would lag.

that's odd. substitute the question mark for an ampersand in the php file, then.

And if you ever need a favor, I will rear your future children.

we'll have to wait a bit, unless you're into statutory rape ;)

as long as you don't make money off it.

variables in flash don't have a dollar sign behind them.

now, i don't QUITE remember how to do this, but maybe it'll work:

in your php file, you have to echo them back as if they were html POST/GET variables

<?php
$name1 = "Hello";
$name2 = "World";
echo "?name1=".$name1."&name2=" . $name2;
?>

then in your flash file, you would use the sendAndLoad() method, since it doesn't open up a window.

var sendIt:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var receiveIt:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
sendIt.sendAndLoad("your php file", receiveIt, "POST");
receiveIt.onLoad = function() {
trace(receiveIt.name1 + "\n" + receiveIt.name2);
};

that ought to work.

either way, not qualified.

if it makes you feel any better, take a look at this strapping young man asking a similar question. i was but 12 years old, and not very accustomed to criticism.

*sigh*, i know i'd forget one little thing.

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.brit)) {
_root.brit.swapDepths(-_root.brit.getDepth());
_root.brit.removeMovieClip();
}
}

i forgot the _root in the swapDepths() method.

because the 'punch' movieclip is located within a 'punching' movieclip, which is in your 'hero' movieclip, you have to reference it hierarchically.

brit

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.hero.punching.punch)) {
this.swapDepths(-this.getDepth());
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}

remember to give them proper instance names.

regarding the removal of movieclips, it only works on movieclips that have a depth over 0. since movieclips that are placed on the stage manually have a very low, negative depth, you can't remove them until you swap their depth like so:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.brit)) {
_root.brit.swapDepths(-brit.getDepth());
_root.brit.removeMovieClip();
}
}

that should work, although i haven't tried it out myself.

For example set it if "o" comes up, gotoAndStop("o_mouth") or something like that? Do you think that would be possible? If so, that would be a huge time saver.

you could do that, but unless you code your lip sync engine to take context into account, you're probably gonna have to type it in phonemes, like "oh" as opposed to "oo." the letter 'y' would be a good example, because it has three different sounds to it - "yuh," (yo-yo), "ee," and "ih" (both are in the word 'syzygy')

It also has selective missions and multiplayer, so don't associate it as the same as the others.

well heck, that's a bit more interesting then your normal generic zombie shooter. are you talking online multiplayer? that'd be awesome if it were.

upload the .fla somewhere, maybe someone else will see a problem that you didn't see.

On EVERYTHING. It might seem like some work, but pausing a game is pretty valuable when you need it.

or one could use the code i just posted. it loops through EVERYTHING on the stage and makes it stop.

i'm a pretty brutally honest person. i'll beta test! your game looks pretty nifty, if not a bit derivative of other top-down zombie shooters.

the most part of the questions arent copied off impossible quiz, only like 1...or 2.

it's not the questions. it's the actual concept of the game - a quiz with stupid, random questions and equally stupid, random answers that you have to guess at, only without any creativity or artistic merit.

it's a pretty simple concept. i don't think i've seen it done before, either, so it's also a pretty original one. (:

but i'm sure you'll get a load of morons complaining about how they don't know how to play if you submit this with no instructions.

i was thinking more of an impact sound, rather than a verbal cue.
