Ah, so many memories.

Hey guys!

I am afraid I have no idea where Yammas is. And please put mr goatse away!!!!

Don't worry everybody! I am not dead! Anybody who can remember over a year back will remember the Anarchy Gang. Well now we have a site, you can find it here:

http://www.anarchyworld.netfirms.com

Take care, I'll be back in a year.

I haven't posted in ages, but I saw this and winced. If it weren;t for newgrounds, I would never have discovered Flash, and none of the beautifully terrible pit movies would have existed. Not to thank newgrounds for spawning your work is evil.

Bah! Use clip events, not button events. Much much tidier.

Just get it from Macromedia and stop whining.

Not possible just with HTML. HTML is static. It'll only display what you tell it to. DHTML is dynamic and is better, but it's not server-side and can cause a lot of problems. PHP or PERL are best.

Zipping won't do much to just one file, but it's wortha a try.

Head of stickdeath at newgrounds? Like hell. Don't give yourself titles. You are a nobody.

I looked at the topic and thought: "Great, someone wants to talk about something advanced for a change..."

Primarily because I think using Flash with XML would be a powerful way to make simple applications for the web, and as Flash matures, we could make it for actual desktop applications.

If you are into Computer Science and software engineering, then you might recognize Flash to be a sort of object oriented paradigm with synchronous events that communicate. I can see it maturing so much! Then again, if this doesn't make too much sense to you, don't worry.

I have had trouble keeping large projects organised and well designed when I was using 4. 5 does a better job. I want to know if large projects are easily organised in MX or if it still feels messy.

If I have some time, I will try and write a tutorial in organising larger projects, if I don't see one online. :)

No, it's a lot more "stable" now. You can dock menus so they stay stationary and pop out when you need them. Beautiful!

The actionscript is a lot more attractive this time round, as you can set your own colours for strings, comments and key words.

Tom needs to provide some kind of flash startup page. Just a page with basic (and advanced) tutorials, some tips and crap on making games and probably even where to get flash.

he should make it compulsory for users to take an exam before they can post on this forum. heh. "The newgrounds flash examination"....... ohhh now i have to study... where's my cat...

Just a thought.

It's no good suggesting it here, is it?

eXtensible Markup Language. It looks a very small language, but is very powerful when you combine it with actionscript. As that other guy stated, that would be extremely difficult.

No-one writes tutorials directly about shooters. They teach you the fundamentals of properties and variables and you have to piece it together yourself. Try flashkit to get you started. You probably won;t find what you're looking for, but if you understnad what you're learning you can figure the rest of it out.

I would reply to your post, STW, but I have no idea what you said.

CTRL + ENTER!

The crap ones are the ones that just use loads of sequential buttons and are in effect, just an interactive movie. The good ones are the ones that use quality OOP and some great artwork thrown on top.

It automatically makes a .swf when you test it.

I would never have understood that if I had not read the reply.

HTML's no good. I'm fairly certain it's not possible using just actionscript, so I'd learn php or PERL. Take your pick.

Firstly, you need to grow up.

Secondly, you need to learn how to do Object-Orientated-Programming.

I fear for your sanity.

If anything, having a low level shows you don't waste your time.

I don't believe you for a second. If you did, you would have automatically stated what you know. It's a basic natural reaction. Unless you can prove it, I shan't waste my time.

Before I help you, do you have ANY knowledge of programming AT ALL? If not I have no interest in helping you.

No no no no no no NO!

Don;t use set property. Use:

this._x+=10;

Flash MX is amazing.

End of story.

First of all to make a portal, You need more then PHP, You need MySQL databases to store the account info, movie info, experience points, etc.

PERL? Difficult?

I've started writing small Flash tutorials for Anarchy World, and writing stuff about motion tweening and sound and all the basic stuff gets so mind numbingly boring. You'd help yourself if you started from variables and properties and climbed up to OOP and bitwise programming.

Then use a movie clip, or multiple symbols.

You could have saved a lot of time by just saying "How do you tween?"

You get it with months and months of learning actionscript, and then learning DHTML and a server-side language(PHP, PERL) Have fun!
