Because he is a mod.

Yes, mods get those, but I don't have one. I declined it, because I'm content with my afro-ninja address : )

These things are so useless. And no, it doesn't benfit mankind one bit. It's not that I'm a bush supporter in particular, it's just that any number can be twisted into whatever statistic you want to with little effort.

I agree that nim's winter tale and gooberstory should have placed higher, I just think that the problem was that they were made by the same author, and therefore people were split between the two entries.

Congrats to the winners and runners up!

THANKS AGAIN

Enough with the shit topics

Honestly, after reading a bit about the flash communication server, I might be wrong. It says that you can in fact create message boards, and actionscript serves as its language. Not really sure how it all works though..

Anyways, plenty of php tutorials around the net

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=php+tutorials

Unless Dave told you that, then probably not. There's nothing on his site that would indicate it

Sounds like you both lost

That's an odd kind of question. You might want to refer to my post in the thread you made in the flash forum

The closest thing to a macromedia product you would use to make a forum is coldfusion. Coldfusion is macromedia's trademark scripting language that more or less can serve in the place of php or asp

The flash communication server is a new thing I've been hearing about though, and I'm not entirely sure how it works. You can read up on the features here though:

With the rest I'd buy lots of little presents for everyone I know.

You're being too nice, quit making us feel like cheap bastards ;)

Ummm... well here's the thing. A forum itself cannot exist without a database, and an sql language. I'd assume you would use MySQL.

Now, all database scripts would be written in a scripting language such as php, because flash itself cannot directly communicate with databases (not to my knowledge) but flash can call php files and pass variables to them

So in the end flash would just act as an interface between the database and the scripts that modify it. So basically the most you could have would be a "post your message here" screen done in flash. Flash would send the variables to a php file, and then the php file would update the database with the new post.

Not really worth it if you ask me, but meh

Both. That's how it always works. A new program is released along with a new player. Flash player 7 wont recognize the new additions in a flash 8 swf file, so they have to make a new one.

Well... there's several things wrong with it. But we can't tell you anything if you don't show us the code for it

Also, that control scheme doesn't work. You can't move with the arrow keys (right hand) jump with the spacebar (left hand) and then have a hand left to shoot with the mouse : /

Hmm. here's what I know

1. Codename 8 ball
2. Will compile actionscript 5x faster than flash player 7
3. Added timeline effects
4. All around better suited to the artist

And I can't even say that for sure, really. Might want to ask inglor, he seems to have some connections : )

You have to refresh it once if it says Page Not Found.

Haha, casting cost of 18. Riiight :p

Get a styptic pencil. They hurt like a bitch but will stop the bleeding. But for now, TP it

GREAT IDEA : /

1. "noobs" will never admit to being "noobs" so therefore they wouldn't post in a "noob" topic

2. "noobs" don't pay attention to anything anyway, let alone a topic dedicated to them. And a spammy topic at that

3. "noob" (n00b) is really lame

Meh, probably just stick it in the checking account for now. Although I could use a new futon around here... =O

Sorry, I'll be sure to change it to small-type pixel fonts and tons of flash navigation ;)

That's great

Suck it up. This place isn't your life. You act like you just came off a year perma-ban

Draw your button. drag a selection box around it. press F8. Choose "button" and say ok

right click the button, go to actions. type:

on(release){
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1",1);
}

All further questions in the flash forum please

Again, thanks for the help guys. I've learned quite a bit already ;)

I'm probably not going to change this to divs, as my professor is a very lenient grader, but I'll be sure to try it out for my next project

Why did I have to make it complicated? I'm retarded

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse))play();
}

put that on the clip you want to play.

When the mouse is clicked, it runs a check to see if is hitting the x,y position of the mouse. If so, it plays

Ahh, I see what you mean by that. When it's at a friend's place, it seems a little bit harder to try and get them to go outside and smoke, especially since you're the minority there not smoking.

But since you said it was at a friend's house, and he smokes in there, him and all the rest won't even give it a second thought about it.

That's the thing though. My friend doesn't smoke. I just happened to be sitting at a table with three other smokers.

Meh. I used to pull that shit on my parents all the time like "omg you're gonna die" but it was useless so I just stopped.

Well, since you're the type of guy who knows better, I wouldn't see anyone trying to force you to do such a thing, unless somebody's really trying to get you into the stuff.

Well, when I said "force" I more or less meant unavoidable second hand smoke. Like tonight at my friend's house. I was playing a game of euchre and they all lit up cigs. Three waves of shitty smoke in my face, but what am I gonna do?

"um lol excuse me guys, I'm gonna turn my head and breathe this way for a little while"

Is it so hard to step outside for a second? maybe blow the smoke another way? While I never say anything myself, I smile a bit on the inside when someone bitches to them about the dangers of smoking. If they can sit and smoke up a storm around people who hate it, then they can sit and listen to the same "no smoking" drivel over and over again

add an extra condition in there to check the enemy's frame

if(<hit test stuff> && enemy._currentframe==1)
{
//do damage
}

that way the character can only get hurt when the enemy is on its first frame, not the explosion
