You want to go to basic programming.

Go to window > properties and select properties if not already open.
On the properties box there is a button that has the stage size by pixels
Size: [550 X 400]
Click on it! Enter the new numbers for length and width.

Make a movie clip. Since you don't seem to know how to do that I'll tell you.
Insert > New symbol
Name it something so you know what it is, and make sure movie clip is selected. Press ok.
You are now editing the movie clip. If your character was walking, add the first frame of the sprite to the center of the stage shown by the plus sign. Insert a new keyframe. Add the second frame to the center also. Use onion skin to make sure the second frame is on top of the first. And so on. This movie clip is basicly a picture that has frames. Like an animated gif. Now, click on scene 1. Goto window > libary, and your movie clip should be there. Make a new layer for the sprite and make a keyframe where you want the movie clip to be. Drag the movie clip from the libary and place it on your stage where you want it. If you made the first keyframe at frame 1, make a new keyframe at frame 20 or so. You can change it, this is just to test. At frame 20, add a keyframe. Then select all the frames from 1 to 20 and insert > create motion tween. Now, to see if it worked, goto Control > Test Movie
it should animate all the walking frames without you having to.

I guess this happens because the final vote, or the vote right before the end of judgement gets the blam/protect movie.

And I think I found a glitch. When I go to write a review now, I get this instead of my 125,000 review count.

I got that glitch too, that needs to be fixed. Otherwise it was a great game, very easy to navigate and get into unlike some sim-games that I've played. I felt that you could have added more to the fourms. You could have it that there was NG-news to read. This could affect gameplay, or it could be just fun to read. The NG-news could come up every so often, making newgrounds more dynamic rather than it never changing.

Whoa, that sounds like a review. Oh well...

It's ok, not bad, but begging people to vote high on it is really annoying and pisses most people off. Lots of people write vote 5 in their descriptions, and it doesn't make people any more sympathetic towards your flash. it ends up doing the oppisite, so don't do it. If you want people to vote 5, you need to spend a lot of time on your flash. Relying on people's sypathy or pity is not a good way to get high scores

It really is nearly impossible to be a regular newgrounds user with dial-up. I used to have it, and it took ten minutes just to load the portal. Trying to load movies under judgement was also impossible, because if they had large file sizes, they would be finished judgement before I even watched it! If you can come to this site a lot with dial-up, you must have an infinite amount of patience.

Are you talking about using sprites? Here are some sites for video game sprites:

Looks like harvest moon a bit... But you want to add more to it. You should be able to make money and upgrade your farm to make it better. You also want to add more tasks to do in the game, there are lots of things needed for working a farm. Good luck on your game.

You need more expression in your character! Add facial expressions or more movements. It doesn't seem alive, just boring.

Please read the portal faq

It says right there

Don't put your fps over 24, it usually screws up when it's posted.

You obviously are new to flash, so I'll leave some constructive comments. First off, add a background. It makes things more real. And not just a different color or gradients either. Second, make better characters. The boxes are very lame and try to stay away from them. Try stick figures at first. They look better than random shapes. Make it longer, people don't want to see random violence unless it is very well animated or very funny. That goes for most short flashes too. You should spend a lot of time on your work, not just ten minutes or an hour. Yeah, well, good start I suppose.

One problem with this is that the contols are too good. In the original fishy, the controls are a bit loose so it's harder. Your controls are very tight, and therefore make the game too easy. Plus, as you eat the creatures in your game, you get bigger very fast and not very gradually. After you eat a certain number of enemies, you quickly jump to a new size too fast.

It's a lot eaiser to make a crap movie than a good one, so that's why most people will have more blams than saves.

-Linux is best for hacking and programming

Best security and rarely ever get virus's, as in NEVER. Good for programming, most software, uses the system to all its abilitys, ect.

Hmm...I think I know which system you're using.
I find that macs are great for multimedia
windows are good for word processing and games
and I rarely use linux so I won't say anything

I never got a menu like that, but I don't really see why you need it. Is there anything you can't figure out how to get to? I mean, you can just close the untitiled flash and then go to file to open a flash file.

Hello to you too.

Since I'm in a good mood, I'll help you out rather than being a sarcastic jackass.
First, select your sprite sheet
Go to modify > Trace bitmap
You can leave the default settings or if it doesn't look good, put color thresh hold at 50 and minimum area at 1. That usually works ok for sprites.
Now that you did this, deselect the sprite sheet. Then select the white background and delete it!

Ok...
What was that all about?

It looks cool, you might want to have the person walk a little faster and have the ability to jump and duck so you can improve gameplay. You might want to improve the graphics too, they're not the best. Also, there is no way to go back so make sure you change that. And keep working on it!

How about you not stalk the kid?

You have to add some sort of plot. It doesn't matter if it sucks like "The princess has been kidnapped" or any generic plot like that, it just has to tell the viewer what's going on. You also should slow down the movie, it's way too fast. Like most people said you should have a button to promt the viewer to continue the movie after reading the text. Sound is a needed addition or atleast background music if you're lazy. The movie is also kind of boring, but you could add enemies to make it more interesting to watch.
