Yes - it's impossible to remove the entire right click menu in Flash alone.

Uh, yeah, I already said that?

It's better not to confuse the person. They, from what i can tell by the the OP, don't know too much about actionscript and java. Better to just say no, it can't be done, and give them an alternative in flash then to say yeah it can be done but in a different programming language.

Hehe, THANKS!
I know it's something like that. But exactly, how do I write the "or" in actionscript?
I know how to write "and" (&&), "not" (!), and a few more.

Or is (||). Although, you could add a listener and set up a customizable key set. But that might get too complicated.

Or you could use

keyWatch = new Object();
Key.addListener(keyWatch);
keyWatch.onKeyDown = function()
{
	if (Key.getCode() == Key.SPACE){
		gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
	}
}
stop();

and that'd only have to go on the first frame.

God dammit, if you weren't new here you'd know what I'm talking about.

If you mean the preloader from pico's school, I doubt it's around anymore. The first one on that list isn't much different at all. Old one used to be here.

Perhaps find a cached image on google from before the redesign?

Another question: Do I really have to upgrade from Flash 8? I want to be a cool kid and all, and bone animation sounds cool and all, but I don't like the new Flash programs.

Question 2: Bone animation takes a while to learn how to do well. The only reason i can see for using Flash Cs5 is for AS3 or easy collaboration. If you can do what you want to do on flash 8, don't bother.

** I WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH A FLASH SERIAL IF NEEDED**
****ARTIST WILL ALSO BE DEEPLY INVOLVED IN WHAT GOES INTO THE GAME ****
I am in desperate need of an artist for 2 games I'm developing. The artist would have to be able to animate and work in the Flash environment.

Untitled Game #1 Adventure Text
This game is a text based video game, which means all actions are done via the command line(ish thing). The main idea of the game is to pack in as much random and funny stuff until the game is a laugh riot.

Artist will have to:
<span> </span>-Draw in an 8-bit style
<span> </span>-Draw backgrounds
<span> </span>-Draw obscure objects
<span> </span>-Design Achievement Unlocked screen
Tools required:
<span> </span>-MS paint(*1)
________________________________________

Untitled Game #2 Sidescrolling Shoot 'em up
The game is basically just a sidescrolling violent bloodbath of a game. Like Thing-Thing.

Artist will have to:
<span> </span>-Animate walk cycles
<span> </span>-Design GUIs and Menus
<span> </span>-Draw weapons
<span> </span>-Draw outfits for characters
<span> </span>-Design Achievement Unlocked screen
Tools required:
<span> </span>-Flash CS4 (5 is ok too)

Both games will have in game achievements and unlocks, and both will use the newgrounds API. The revenue system of the API could mean profit depending on how successful of a game it is. ALL PROFITS WILL BE SPLIT 50/50.

Progress is moving quite quickly on both engines due to me switching from AS2 to AS3, which is much more capable of a language. As of now, I only have text game examples.

Still deving the sidescroller engine. so far so good, but no graphical representation, all theoretical code.

By the way, the sidescroller is a future project. I'd just like to know if someone would like to be mah partener.

Not sure what you want, but I can tell you it's impossible to disable right click. You can, however, add a listener to the left click and tell it to gotoAndStop to a different frame, perhaps one labelled CHEATER.

see, this guy gets me! Thanks bro.

I'm creating a text game right now for fun. The entire backbone of the game is working, but i can't seem to be able to incorporate the backgrounds properly. Basically, I want the level_mc to correspond with the array's numerical position.

worldMap[0] = [0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0]; // 1,2,3,4,5,6
worldMap[1] = [0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]; // 7,8,9,10,11,12
worldMap[2] = [1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0]; // 13,14,15,16,17
worldMap[3] = [0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0]; //etc
worldMap[4] = [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0]; // I want to get it to gotoAndStop to the frame corresponding with the numbers above :/

I've been screwing around with it for a while, but to no avail. I've tried many, many things.
To be more informative, the level system is based on 1's and 0's, 1 meaning able to go on and 0 meaning unable to go on. The game tracks this by using these variables:

roomValue1 = 2; //3
roomValue2 = 0; //1

which represent the starting area, and get subtracted and added to everywhichway the player desires. Hopefully this is kind of clear, it's really confusing and there's probably a really simple way to do everything. I overcomplicate things.

I like the smell of my own sweaty balls.

Well shit. This sucks major cocks.

I got like a 67% on my english class because i stopped trying halfway through the semester. My parents will flip shit even though I have a 76% average. Is it wrong that i faked a report card to make it 71% so my parents wouldn't flip? I don't think it was to tell the truth, it just makes them happy.

Man, how much do you think an abortion costs?

Find out how much a doctor gets paid by the hour, how much the equipment for the procedure costs, how much the facility it is conducted in costs, how much the sanitizing of the equipment costs, how much the administration for it costs, how much the sanitizing of the facility costs, how much the insurance for the doctor costs, and then get back to me.

On average, 800 dollars per abortion.

Which OP has not fed back into the system before the procedure has been done.

Great job on stealing taxes from hard working, responsible people who actually man up for shit.

Hey guess what? I looked at your page and noticed that you are either in the army or planning on joining it. Great to know that you love your system so much. Seriously, I'd get dozens of abortions if i was a girl, just to take advantage of the system we have.

Seriously, fuck the system. Abortions for all.

Because she was still on the pill and buying a test now would be a waste. According to her.

And not buying a test would lower the chance to have an abortion, at least safely and she does want an abortion, right? Besides, a pregnancy test is pretty cheap compared to the first 20 odd years of a persons life.

Seriously, if she had the baby, my mind would go to the dark place. I'd probably wake up in prison, both her and the baby 6 feet under. Then I'd kill myself. Or something.

Her boobs got bigger, but she's on the yasmin pill that lets you not go on your period for long periods(lol) of time. Seriously though, no condom rips or leaks, the pill the whole time. Just a bit worried.

If she is pregnant and you don't have a job... you could be royally fucked...

She is totally up for an abortion, we discussed it and all. I'm 99% sure she's not, but theres always that 1% chance.
