Do you want the scope to zoom with the keyboard, for example the up and down arrow key?

I use a combo... in general I use frame by frame for stuff that I want to look really cool, and I tween for slow motion effects. Or use 3d, but that's a whole nother program...

the NG sprite master eh? I thought that was randy solem...

Well, the paintbrush tool can produce a varying line effect, but you can't really control it too easy

Also, is flash too complicated for younger flash artists? Not that i'm saying i'm 13 or anything...but
I want to start making flash films and movies. So do you think it's wise that I buy flash if i'm younger than most artists? Or should I wait a little while? (I have made some crappy skateboarding films and about half of a tank game with the trial so I at least know the basics)

I'm not sure if the trial has everything... but it has more than enough to make a quality movie. Obviously you've already used flash so only you can judge how good you are at it and if it's worth your time. However, unless you have a lot saved up, you probably can't afford flash- it's five hundred dollars. I used the trial extensively. But I not only use it for movies, but to make games, design my site, import video for stop motion animation, among other things. So I ended up buying it to take full advantage of the features.

If it was done in flash why did you upload it as a jpg?

anyways... yeah.. needs some work...

smooth the lines, draw more carefully. shading helps too. Stay away from gradients though

get them from a site. if they don't have what you want make your own:

find a rom of the game you want them from. take a screenshot. paste it into flash. break it apart, and cut the sprite out

Um, well, see, flash doesn't really have a zoom in command or anything. you essentially just make stuff bigger.

for example draw a background. make a keyframe later on. scale it to a larger size. then make your tween.

there's your "zoom in"

Penny Bain!! LMAO

Last Arrow? is that a combo of last battle and arrow attacks? ;)

to find the crack for flash just mail 500$ to macromedia. They'll send you a guaranteed "crack"

Last battle part 2 was great, a good mix of frame by frame and stylish art.

Arrow attacks was cool too

first of all, don't let someone trap you in a cinderblock room

second, like some other guy said, just push the walls over. You never said they were cemented

LMAO noooo not the dreaded clock change!!!!!!
That's just another excuse for him to beat your ass

I completely agree. No animation, not funny. he could animate a pile of shit with a speedy voice and it would get a flat 5.00 out of 5.00

Yeah, and how often do you see illwill in the bbs? the chat? writing a review? caring in general?

I noticed my popularity going up too... I haven't submitted anything new for a while, so I dunno why. Right now I'm like #166 or something... strange...

I thought tbon#1 was kinda lame, but that's just me....

Castle commercial was just too original : )

I liked the RPG demo too

Freddy should dominate with the power of puns

Jason can barely fuckin' talk

But you're right, I'm sure they'll both die

SIM is coooolll. I think I wanna make some frame by frame movies like Knox too... :)

btw everyone I finally got a webcam, click my profile to see the real life Afro Ninja :D

Rock on man, rock on :)

I've had more than my share of offensive/abusive reviews

How do you put out good movies consistenly like you do?? It takes me an eternity to pull through a top quality project...

I'll check out perfect kirby btw

That's funny, I've felt the same way about illwill since his first movie...

Will's got some talent I guess but I hate everyone single one of those foamy/germaine movies.

sorry...

And on a lighter note, I really enjoyed "The Most Dangerous Game"
Funny stuff really. I wasn't too crazy about either of the endings though. the alien guy should have died.

You seriously couldn't pick on a more respected NG author..

Hmm.. While I respect Randy and all, wasn't it just a few months ago that everyone flamed every single post that he made? Times change quick :)

I like the look of the portal banner much better

And I'm on 56k so it'll be hard to tell if the site runs better till I try to d/l some portal movies

Nightmare on elm street!!!!!!

(why do you think I made a game about it :)

ok so I haven't actually seen the halloween series, but fred krueger is the shit

Responses in order:

1. Yes I have an afro, and I'm white too :p one day I'll get a webcam and show the world :)

2. Yeah if everyone paid for it I bet they would lower the price.

3. Yes I can't wait for my laptop, it will be a big jump from my system that is currently:

333mhz
64mb ram
4 gig HD
AMD K6 processor (equivalent to Pentium 2 or less)

But you have to realize, Flash can be used for so many things.. from animations to full length games, to creating full blow websites. Believe me, flash has incredibly advanced features, in animation and programming.

Of course tom doesn't pay for it... he probably bought a copy of flash 3 back in the day, and I can almost guarantee macromedia give tom free/discounted copies for the advertisement of their product.

Ok, so many people steal it, but still....

And one day I'll be an NG affiliate!!!!

more like I actually forked over 500$ and I'm holding the manual right now :p

Honestly I did buy it though because I plan on making a full flash site and something like that brings a lot of attention... figured I'd play it safe...
