A friend of mine once said:
"Gasoline isnt flamable, only the fumes are."

Problem solved. Thanks for your help guys.

Just "stopAllSounds(); on particular frames where I want looping music to stop. And on two buttons. Without them, acouple of streams wont work. I just found out that sound quality has nothing to do with the problem.

I dont even know how this can possibly happen. Its a glitch that defies ALL my flash sensablities and knowledge. Since I have converted almost everything to an MP3, there are times in the movie, where a strange skipping sound plays, when ever there is no music or sound that is supposed to be playing.

Its hard to describe the sound. It sounds like a buzz, but it skips like a broken record. It happens when ever there is a motion tween, or when the time line of the movie is supposed to be just moving along, while nothing is happening.

Here are the sound settings I have for both Steam and Event

MP3, 48KBPS, Mono.

I honestly have no clue whats happening. I also know that a majority of my sounds and music are MP3's, and alot of them stream. It could also have somthing to do with the "STop all sounds" functions have placed every now and again. Anyone have suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

I am about to release part 3 of a flash sprite series. I have one big problem though....file size. Part 2 is only 5.1 MB's big, part 3 so far, is 9.7 MB's big. I have no clue why. There are only a grand total of 5 backgrounds, some of which are drawn. I have tried everything that I could come up with to reduce file size. Reducing sound quality, converting the sound track to MP3 only, converting everything to a symbol, ect. I think a potential cause can be the fact that I use more Super Nintendo music than NES music. In part 2, it was vice versa. It can also be the fact that I use more music than the other two parts. Part two has 4 music tracks. Part 3 has about 6 or 7. Can any one help me with suggestions?

Viewtiful-Chris. Yes, I have defended him before, but only because people are over reacting to him and giving him for attention...AND STILL ARE!

I was in 4th grade when I got fully into Titanic. I know just about every fact there is to know about the Titanic. Ask me any question and chances are I can answer it. Did you know that a person survived in the water for hours and didnt even get his hair wet when the stern sank?

I just find it a bit sad seeing that so few people know that It is Titanic's 96th anniversary. I asked like 10 people I know the question:

"What happened in the middle of the Atlantic ocean 96 years ago today?" Only one answered correctly.

If you read that news article, you will clearly see that the catholic church now thinks that pollution and genetic manipulation are sins. What the hell are you trying to do, are you trying to make us all go to hell? I dont get it. You guys burned people to death if they thought the world was round, if they thought the earth revolved around the sun. You flame homosexuals and you think evolution is a theory, when you fail to realize that God is also a theory. You cant disprove him, and I do belevie in him, but why on Earth would God deny proven scientific facts? Let alone hate gay people. Isnt he "love all his children?"

IN HIS CAREER OF FORMULA 1. He clearly had a superiority complex otherwise he wouldn't have blamed his Mclaren in his last season for his poor results, while Raikkonen performed beautifully all season. It may be true that he's a good driver but it doesn't mean he could cut it in at the top of F1, so was obviously hoping for more success in shitty NASCAR.

Jauq: 1997 Formula One Champion, 11 formula one wins, 13 formual one poles, Cart Champion.

Like before, he'd past his peak in Formula1 and become shit so he decided to try and become a NASCAR driver.

God man, admit that NASCAR drivers are shit. As is NASCAR itself.

If its shit than it wouldnt have fans, and It wouldnt earn fans from all over the world EVERY DAY! I gauren-damn-tee you that more open wheel stars will convert. I know they are considering

Jaun has only one win in NASCAR spint cup series. On a road course. Thats right, nascar does right hand turns too. And thats the only place Juan could win. He can get his ass kicked on the ovals, but he is getting better.

Thats stupid. You're comparing an areobic sport to a sport that is mostly anaerobic. Not only do they require markedly different training methods but they also require different muscle composition.
"Also, due to the insane levels of fitness needed to play soccer your would also be much more likley to see a soccer player complete a 3 hour nascar race than you would see a nascar driver complete a world class soccer match provided he ran just as much as every othe player on the field"

Maybe you didnt read the post. I The drivers need to be insanly fit to last even 10 laps at Daytona. I rember a race where Dale Earnhardt Jr (or Sr?) lost power steering in his car. That made the car way to difficult to turn for a soccer player. But he still kept on going to finish the race in a good position. Not great, but good. The only overweight driver is Tony Stewart and the only reason he does good is because Joe Gibbs hired him for his race team. Thats right, Joe Gibbs the football coach. Even he consider's it a sport.

And boxing is not a team effort hun? I didnt know that a boxer along with his trainers and his managers all competing for the same cause wasnt a team effort. Sure they are not in the ring along with their guy, but they are still aiming for the same goal. And that is to win.

This is to all of you retards who think that the fastest growing franchise in America is not a sport. Being the ONLY Nascar fan in my whole high school, I am asked why I considered a sport and how I enjoy it everyday.

First, lets look at the definition of a sport. A sport is a competetive activity that requires physical endurence, strategy, team effort, and sometimes, luck.

Ok, now lets look at your generic NASCAR race. There are a total of 43 drivers competing for the win. There's competition.

It lasts about 3 hours or 400 laps. The drivers have to endure up to 800 lbs of G-force at every turn, and 100+ degree temperature in the cockpit. so there's endurence.

Each car has a crew. The driver, the tire changers, the gas man and the catch can man, and crew cheif. Each time the driver drives into pit lane, the crew cheif and driver need to decide what needs to be done to the car tire, fuel, and adjustment wise. There's strategy.

There are some multi car teams in NASCAR. Like Petty Enterprises, Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Fenway Racing, and Dale Earnhardt Inc. On the track, each driver can help each other out by drafting or blocking rival team cars. There's team effort.

As for luck, you would have to watch the races too see. An example of luck was when Kevin Harvick got his first win after race leader Jeff Gordon lost some momentum after his car's rear end slid out a little bit. Had that not happened, Gordon would have won.

Something else that is hard to wrap my head around is the fact that people dont consider NASCAR a sport, but think Formual One is. Formula One is a sport, I just dont understand why adding right handed turns all of a sudden make it a sport in their books.

You guys make good arguments on the radar. I am not saying you should be able to detect people from all the way at the other side of the map. Im just asking for at least 50-100 yards more range, and the abillity to tell which floor the guy is on so you can have a better chance to prepare. And the croutching, there is no way around that, it is pure uncut bullshit. I dont care if its futuristic, there is no way that you should be able to elude a radar that easily.

As for killing people from the grave, I still dont think it should be like that. Yes, it adds to realisim, but in video games, there are times when it is too realistic. Perfect example, Call of Duty 3's multiplayer. Even in the hardest difficulty setting in one player, you somewhat have a life bar. But in multiplayer, almost EVERYTHING can kill in just one hit, regardless whether or not they hit you in the head or not. Klling from the grave in video games geuenly pisses people off because they know that their enemy hasnt earned that kill.

Top Gun isnt that bad, I landed the plane tons of times with the controller. The nerd just sucks at the game. The madden games and all the games EA made or remade are the results of EA selling it's soul to the devil. As for Dark Castle, check this out and you'll see why it it makes Dragon's Lair look like the Ocarina of Time.

Halo 3:
I know what your thinking, "How DARE you pick on Halo 3!" The game play is stimulating, challenging, and overall, fun. But there is two fatal flaws in the game...the ablility to "kill from the grave" and the fucking radar. Killing from the grave does not add to the gameplay at all. It pisses of the guy who earned the kill, and gets the other guy a kill he did not earn. As for the radar, its the most flawed peice of shit since Call of Duty 3's radar. The thing is so small, you could mistake it for a decoration on the screen. The range is mind blowiningly short, if your stray your attention from the radar for even a moment, your good as fucked. There is no way you can tell which floor level the enemy is on. You would spend like 15 seconds looking for him untill you eventualy realize he's right below you or above you. And of course, while your doing this, some other enemy can come from out of nowhere and kill you. But the thing that pisses me off the most, is the abillity to elude the radar simply by croutching down.....WHY? Be honest with me, who doesnt LOVE getting ambushed by a croutching guy with a sword?!?

MegaMan 8:
The story is allright, and the gameplay is still the classic MegaMan sidescroller that we all know and love. But Capcom decided to do something original and make anime cut scenes. Considering its MegaMan, you would expect the acting to be supurbe (spelling?). But like the Halo 3 radar, this fails MISERABLY! MegaMan sounds like a girl, Dr.Light sounds like he's talking with cotton in his mouth, Duo's voice sounds like its being done by an Emo who's planning to kill himself after the dubbing is done, and Roll sounds like.....well.....I dont know, but her voice fails just as much as the rest. They even fucked up two voices that are supposed to be straight foward. These voices belong to ProtoMan and Bass. ProtoMan should have sounded like a 20 year old or something like that, and Bass should have sounded like a pompus teenager. Instead, ProtoMan sounds unbelivably robotic, and I dont even know what Bass sounds like. The only voice Capcom even put effort into was Wily's voice. In fact, they nailed his voice, I always thought he'd sound a bit german or sweedish or what ever.

Well, theres my list. If you have a good game that entertains and pisses you off at the same time, discuss.

Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. Download the rom and play it and you will see why right off the bat.

I though babies came out of a chick's ass.

No... THESE are the worst games:

10.Gilligans Island (NES)
9. Red Alarm (Virtual Boy)
8. WaterWorld (Virtual Boy)
7.Pro Wrestling (NES)
6.Call of Duty 3...why must EVERYTHING kill you in 1 hit in multiplayer?
5.3D Ballz (Genesis)
4.Tazmania (Genesis/SNES)
3.Shaq Fu (Genesis/SNES)
2.Batman Forever (Genesis/SNES)
1.Dark Castle(Genesis/Mac)

There are MANY things in this world that I do not mind doing. I personaly love to go 30-40MPH over the speed limit in my truck on a windy country road. I love getting sideways in the turns of a dirt road, and I especialy love to go dirt bike riding. But there is one thing that scares me shitless every time.....flying. And no, Im not scared of terrorism, its the last thing on my mind considering all the security around. Youd have to be a ninja or God to get pass those guys.

The reason why think flying sucks is the fact that I am not the poilt. Now some of you are going "whats wrong with that?" Its because I love to see how things work, and I have gone over countless mechanical secnarios on planes out of curiosity, like TWA flight 800, that flight that crashed in the florida everglades, Flight 9 (the one that flew into a volcanoe ash cloud), and many many more. And there you have it, because I am not the poilt, nor do I know how to fly...I have NO CLUE what is going on in the cockpit. ESPECIALY during take off and landing.

I'll give you an example from when I was flying back home from the Daytona 500 back in Febuary. I dont know whether it was cross winds or not, but the piolit kept going full throttle then half throttle. Then back to full, then back to half, and you know where this is going. He even fucked up the landing process. I shit you not, he had to correct the plane when we touched down. Meaning he had to turn it to avoid going onto the dirt. Hell, if I remeber correctly, touchdown took longer then it should of. Taking off and landing is the worst part of ANY flight, even worse is when you take off and you IMMEDIATLY hit turbulence. Oh COME ON! Thats cruel!

Mid flight isnt too pleasent either. Dont you just hate it when your watching an in flight movie and all of a sudden you hit turbulence. And I dont know why, but turbulence seems to feel worse when your in the back of the plane.

Well now you know how much flying drives me batty. Anyone else hate flying in anyway shape or form?

I know I already made a thread similar to this, but I dont give a fuck right now cause Im pissed, and none of you ever replyed to my last one about this subject.

Ok, so, I need DBZ sound effects for my latest flash. I go to Alvin-Earthworm's profile to find out where he got them. Its on a website called ESF. I download the sound I want. Ok, so they are all in .rar files. All you need to do is unstuff them and you get your sound. Simple shit right? WRONG! Its so fucking crippled its a chore to do this OH so simple of a task. With every sound that I do want, my .rar unstuffer or what ever gives me a message that says it cant do to a "formatting error." Yet it doesnt with the sounds that I dont want. It happens on both Mac and PC. I emailed Alvin weeks ago about getting the sounds I wanted directly in a .wav file or something, but he's obviously too busy to do so. So I ask you, newgrounds, WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?!?!?

Listen to this guy for an example of a GOOD review.

Lewis16 says:
I came here to make fun of you, but after reading some of your replies i just cant do it. So im here to give you some advice.

Whilst it might seem like a great idea to "not care what anyone thinks" and make shit flash, and laugh at abuse. Its not. All that will happen is you'll end up growing up friendless, loveless, into an uninteresting, bland adult. No-one wants to hear what you gotta say, and no-one ever will. no-one likes you, and as it goes, no-one ever will. However, there is a few things you can do!

1. Please do recognise that you made some god-awful, hideous videos. Its not funny in an awful way, its just real embarrising for you , and for everyone else.
2. Stop making those videos. If you like making flash, keep practising, then maybe you make something decent
3. Stop pretending yo dont care. Everyone does. We all know it, and its embarrising for you.
4. Act like a normal person.
5. Iff you think being normals boring because, "everyone else is lik that" then i agree. So distinguish yourself by excelling, not by being a tool.

There, now your much more likely to become a benefit to society, and not the laughing stock of the entire world!

Sorted.

I COMMEND you Lewis. You did the right thing and gave him the facts. Bottom line, stop acting like an idiot and give this kid some credit for effort, credit for being able to entertain Tom, and just tell him that videos just arnt for newgrounds. If you say that he's gay or im gay for defending him or something like that, get help.

SM300

I hate defending terrible flash artists with a passion... but Im afraid I must bitch.

Recently I heard about this new flash artist called "Viewtiful-Chris", and how everybody else on NG has their panties caught in a bundle because aparently, he submissions suck so bad that they rank at the rock bottom of the score boards, yet the staff put one of them on the front page. I have seen MANY hateful messages to this poor kid.

You guys are taking this way too fucking seriously. I mean, making "parody" flashes of this kid, giving him death threats, calling him gay, accusing him of plagerisim. COME THE FUCK ON PEOPLE HE'S JUST A KID! You cannot deny it, everyone has gone through a phase of creating terrible movies. Everybody had a huge ego when they were 10. We usualy do not exit this phase untill we turn 14 or so when we need to catch up with social norms. Im no parent, but it is blatently obvious that Viewtiful-Chris is going through the adformentioned phase.

On another notes, the "comments" and "reviews" are a bloody joke.

Wait a minute...JohnnyUtah? Your the LAST person I would expect to join this insulting bandwaggon. You should know better than everyone else that you need to give constructive reviews and not crap like that.

Here are more examples of these "comments":

Zithra says:
"Oh dear god, this loser, AGAIN! Listen man, You dont realize that 90% of NG hates you right now do you? If you actually took the time to maybe make real shit, MAYBE if you weren't such a loser they would.
But seriously, what the hell is your problem? Your just one of those people who refuse to just listen to people and STOP! Dear god man, your practically filling NG with spam, spam that is being put up everywhere, that attracts more spammers, please dude, dont be such a fucking dipshit and L2live.
Not only do you spam with your videos, your a fucking RETARD. Do you actually think you are AWESOME?! HAHAHAHA! Dude, I'm gonna be honest with you here, most people you know probably hate you. You think your cooler than you relly are. Not only that, but SAYING your cool only shows your desperate to be cool, which you will NEVER be. Your just a retarded 13 year old desperate for attention. I freaking swear if I knew the exact location you lived I would kick your ass till you bled from all the wrong places. You have got to be one of the most retarded people I have ever met. How do you even live with yourself? Maybe you just sit in your room and pray that one day you will have a life which, I mean, we know you won't. I really dont know what the fuck your parents were on when they met in a bar and fucked all night but they must have been on some serious shit because your mom spawned out some kind of hideous retarded kid. I swear, its people like you that ruin all of the best things in life.
I dont care if your 13, but someone of your age should be better than what you are. You must really feel great being hated by SO MANY people dont you? You probably just come on here and act like you are better than you really are, because in the real world just as many hate you as on here. You may be wondering "Why is this guy taking so much time to write this?" The answer is simple. I want you to get into your little shit brain that nobody likes you and that you really need to stop doing all of this terrible shit that you call "flash" and "lip-syncing" and maybe get something done in your life.

Hoping you die a painful death,
Zithra"

To Zithra:
That was probably the most hateful message I have ever fucking seen in my life. He has no life hun? Well you appear to have nothing better to do than make fun of some kid who is too oblivious to notice any way, so whats the point?

And you know what? HOW THE HELL IS ENDER'S GAME ANYTHING LIKE HALLWAYS? Ender's Game is about a bunch of kids playing a space game, HALLWAYS is about one kid in his own complex predicament. HALLWAYS takes place in the present, Ender's in the future. HALLWAYS has an average protagonist, Ender is a smart clever kid who can hack computers.

You probably didn't read my whole story. Pathetic. How dare you accuse me of being a hack."

Try using less caps douche. Your story sucks balls, I read about two paragraphs and realized... hey, this is why they don't publish thirteen year old stuck-in-the-closet fruitcakes.

I also read a comment saying something like, and this is a direct quote from you on this very comment page

"the school I currently enroll in has ABSOLUTELY NOBODY I'm interested in. Except one boy. He is taking my current title of "best friend at the moment".

I don't know but that's pretty fuckin fruity. In addition to "No. "Girlfriends" at this stage in my life are worthless. We'd split up by college."

Both direct quotes from you, indicating that you do indeed enjoy fornicating with those of the male persuasion. Admit it!

Anway, back to your writing. It sucks, making gay flash is one thing, but making gay flash as a way to advertise your terrible writing is just ridiculous. How you would equate your burning desire to gain respect in the literary field to pissing thousands of people off with your flamboyant displays of homoeroticism is beyond me.

Learn to write before you go on an advertising crusade for a shitty story that you'll read a year from now and go "what the fuck was I thinking?" Rule of thumb for all shitty writers like yourself is sit on a story for a month or more, write it and put it down. Then when you forget all about it one day, pick it up and read it. Chances are, if you've got any shred of hope left, you'd read your "hallways masterpiece" and go man, I fucking suck. I can't believe I showed this to thousands of people hoping one of them might let me suck on his balls for a while.

But I love you, you entertain me to no end. Keep on truckin, you'll find the right man someday. Until then, your constant struggle to maintain your fruity little identity and acceptance in society will be displayed on newgrounds for all to see.
You desperately want approval but the only person who will ever give that to you is some rough trick named Jim, and chances are he'll probably look just like your dad, cuz that's what you homos always shoot for.

Nah, seriously though, fuck you."

To BestFlashEver:

How can you be so irresponsible at making your "comments".
? Of course, you dont care, your ego is bigger than JESUS! How can you tell? You have the brass balls to say your the best flash artist ever on your profile, yet you have submitted flashes that score 1.5-2.

You say the kid has "sexual disorders." And you clearly base this off of absolutley nothing.

..... your comment borderlines ENGRISH!!

I am the author of a somewhat "popular" flash series on Newgrounds that parodies Star Fox, Kid Niki (NES), Sonic the Hedgehog, and The Legend of Zelda. I am currently working on part 3 of the sereis, and in that part I have two "fighting" scenes. For that, I need DBZ sound effects. I followed Alvin Earthwoms sources, used ESF and everything. But there is one major issue.....I either download corrupted files that either dont play or stop right in the middle, or I cant find some of the sounds im looking for at all.

My fans are really bitching me to finish Part 3, and I just dont know what to do about the sound. All I need to do is to finish the fighting scens, and then the movie would be 90% complete, leaving only the menus and credits to be done.

I was wondering if any one knows any other sources for DBZ sound effects other than Alvin Earthworm's. Or can someone at least tell me if I could be doing something wrong?

Basicly I need:
Sound of punches and kicks landing
the sound when you get hit by a ball bat in SSBM
Kamehameha charging
Basic energy beam firing
The sound need for rapid fire energy blasts
Dashing sounds

Can anyone help a fellow author out?

Oh, and if your interested at looking at the series, here are the links.
