I saw that doing my daily deposit :P It's the mental equivalent of eating a big bowl of sugar - see my review.

Haha, thanks for the review man, and thanks for the constructive criticism. I think, the game could be more enjoyable if FireFox didn't slow it down to the speed of a turtle, though! But, yeah, I appreciate it :)

TrueDarkness is a nice guy. 8/10.

Yes! A score better than my Chem average :D
Have I missed much? (Yes)

Hello, long time no see guys =]

Here, get rid of that code on the barricade, and put this directly on the player.

onClipEvent (load) {
	speed = 5;
	w = _width/2;
	h = _height/2;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._x += speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._x -= speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
		this._y -= speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
		this._y += speed;
	}

	if (_root.ts1.ts1.hitTest(_x+w, _y, true)) {//If the barricade detects collision from the right side of this MC.
		_x -= speed;//This MC subtract speed on X axis (acts as barrier)
	}
	if (_root.ts1.ts1.hitTest(_x-w, _y, true)) {
		_x += speed;
	}
	if (_root.ts1.ts1.hitTest(_x, _y-h, true)) {//If the barricade detects collision from the bottom side of this MC.
		_y += speed;//This MC subtracts speed on Y axis
	}
	if (_root.ts1.ts1.hitTest(_x, _y+h, true)) {
		_y -= speed;

	}
}

Now whatever you want to act as a barrier, just draw it in the ts1.ts1 movieclip.

Yeah and for a second vote I'd have to go with Wacom also. I own a Wacom Graphire 2 (most commonly bought by users like you and I) and it's great.

Input text allows you to type in the textbox, he just wants it to be selectable. I don't think there is a selecatble option for static text in MX2004, so he has to set the text to Dynamic.

Make a textbox and set it to Dynamic, from the drop down menu that should currently say Static.

i have

this.onMouseMove = function() {
_rotation = (Math.atan2(_root._ymouse - _y, _root._xmouse - _x)) * (180 / Math.PI);
};

but its not lined up with the mouse

Your code is fine. Make sure that the function is working with a movieclip, and not the stage itself. Also, make sure the shape inside the movieclip is facing right when using that code.

I can fix your code, but I'm not sure what you're looking to make it do exactly. I've fixed the code the way it is now to what it should be, but I don't think that this is what you want:

onClipEvent (load) {
	speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
		this._x += speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
		this._x -= speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
		this._y -= speed;
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
		this._y += speed;

		if (this.hitTest(_root.ts1.ts1)) {
			speed += 5;
		}
	}
}

I love 3D animation. I think that Disney and Pixar put out the best 3D animations, as I'm always pleasantly shocked at how good they are. I think Cars is one of the best 3D animations out there. I had no intention of seeing it, but when I did, I was amazed.

Same here. We really should have the NY meetup some time in the upcoming year

Now this, I agree on. I'd love to go to a meet-up that I can actually attend at the age of 16. Same deal with comic-con. Asking my mom to fly on a plane with me across the country to go to a Newgrounds convention isn't something I think she'd really go for.

Mix up the locations people! DAMN!

by the way, i bet you sucked when you started out at flash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, way to misread everything I told you and take some advice. First, don't tell people to piss off, especially when they didn't say anything mean to you in the first place. Secondly, stop promoting yourself by telling everyone to check your movies in 2 separate threads. I didn't SAY you weren't doing fine for a beginner.

And just so you know, I DID suck when I started out, I never said I didn't. Who doesn't suck when they started out.

All I'M saying is that you need to stop acting all "go easy on me I'm 14 I'm a noob I need help" and go on Google, take people's advice, look for tutorials, and do some constructive work that will help YOU get better. Sitting around in a forum telling people to piss off because you don't know what to do is not productive...

At 10/7/07 08:47 AM, pokemonmasterbenny wrote: ? just so you know, i'm new to flash and i'm only 14!!! i am not an expert and thats why i posted this forum!!!!! go easy on me!

It's comments like these that get to ME.
First off, calm down with all the '?' and '!'s. It's really annoying to see this "hey help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Secondly, we all don't need to know your age. 14 is nothing, because I and a bunch of other people started Flash at somewhere of the age of 12, and started making "advanced" stuff by 14, your current age. So nobody is going to go easy on you because you're 14. 14 is an old enough age to have enough common sense to read some tutorials and use a little something called GOOGLE.

Well, the sound effects on http://www.sounddogs.com are free, actually.

Also, a pretty crappy site, but not bad nonetheless: http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/

Powerpoint.

Which would be better: one huge ass monitor, or a dual?

RE: Dual Monitors

I'd have to go with dual, that sounds too badass to pass up. Just make sure you have enough space for both.

Hey. So, I haven't posted in some time, and I hope to get back into posting. It's just that ever since the redesign, posting takes a long time due to the lag of the typing. It is really irritating. But I want to start contributing to the forum some more, like I used to. KAY!? :)

on(press){ 
stopAllSounds();

There ya go, sorry.

on(press){
stopAllSounds*(;
}

Put that on the button :)

Even though I can see how you're pissed, I can also see how MindChamber thinks you stole it. Look how good of a quality that is, compared your banner. It does seem a bit odd (not taking any sides here :p)

No, that's hardly the point. You can agree with the "stealing" or whatever but that is totally irrelevant. MC was just being immature about the whole situation, trying to bring ShortMonkey down.

ShortMonkey, your comments were a little rough, but you don't need to be ridculed for it. Rather then saying that things are ugly, say that YOU don't like it, because some things aren't ugly to other people.

Either way, I've never been a huge fan of the way MC handles things. He's an amazing artist, he just has a lot of shit to say about everyone else. He reviewd one of my games saying it was too much like Dan Paladins, when Dan's game wasn't even a thought in the process of our game. He also said it was unoriginal out of spite of the fact that it may look like Dan's game. =/

Or visit your local library!

ftw

Well, like everyone else said, read some tutorials. Don't watch those crappy low scoring ones here on Newgrounds. Either find the really good ones here on NG with high scores, or go onto google and find some more professional programs. Honestly, if you knew nothing about Flash, it might not have been wise to blow 700 dollars away. You could have at least downloaded the thirty day trial. Then after you feel comfortable with it, and want to learn more, you buy it. But I'm not here to criticize mistakes, I'm here to help.

My advise for a beginner is to fool around with each tool, and if you don't know what something does, use Flash help and look it up. Use each tool, look through the options, test things, see what they do. If you still have a lot of questions after that, then let us know.

Wow, can I ask how you did that AS thing? I've never seen that before...

To use "removeMovieClip();" the object must have a depth. Depth is assigned to an object when it is either duplicated, or manually assigned one, by using "this.swapDepths(#);"

Once the object has a depth, to remove it, you simple put this code on it:
this.removeMovieClip();

or.. You can do it from outside the MC, and say:
_root["fish"+i].removeMovieClip();

Or something similar.

If I wasn't clear on that swapDepths thing, here's how that works:

this.swapDepths(100);
this.removeMovieClip();

If you put that on an object, it gives the object a depth of 100 over everything else, or possibly under anything else with a depth over 100. Then, the code removes itself, deleteing it and it's assigned depth.

RE: MMO Addiction

Yeah, I absolutely hate when people tell me to try out WOW or get the trial/demo because I don't want to play something that I'd get addicted to, especially something that I pre-hate.

Lmao, I'm a nerd.

That part is good. On the main timeline, put this.

song1 = new Sound();
song1.attachSound("song1");

FOR THE PASSWORD:

if(_root.password=="hello"){
gotoAndStop(3);
}

ngup looks fantastic. Works incredibly well, and so far is my favorite uploader. I will be modding the files people upload, so nobody try anything stupid ;)

I <3 ngup.
Congrats.
