I got an AS2 preloader finished!

You can download it here.

I'm mega old skool and use Flash 8, so if anyone wants to convert the preloader over to AS3, you'd be doing everyone a huge favor!

Good luck and have fun everyone. :)

so, if Austin can let us know that it's cool, I'd love that.

Yeah, go ahead.

Good luck everyone, I'll see what I can do about a preloader.

I made the main character of your game. His name is Scottsdale Rouge and he is a native american warrior with a dark past.

Skype is my personal favorite form of communication. Ventrilo is also fairly popular.

I am very sorry to the few who didn't make it into a team! I encourage those who didn't make a team to still try to band together to make something for the challenge. You won't be included for the judging or the prize, but you'll probably get added to the collection page AND it'd be a great way to jumpstart your body of work!

Your Team Name.

Response to: Atheism. What's the fucking point? Posted December 27th, 2010 in General

Some people just grew up without religion in their lives. They still have values. It is sad that explaining to someone that they don't believe in God is considered an insult.

Response to: Show NG your desktop! Posted December 8th, 2010 in General

Yeah!

Show NG your desktop!

Response to: I need ideas on how to remake this Posted December 7th, 2010 in General

You should make them tankmen.

Response to: Treasure Hunt 2010 Posted October 16th, 2010 in NG News

Response to: Suicide is not for the weak... Posted October 1st, 2010 in General

80% of people who seek help find it successfully.

Response to: Voice Actor Wanted Posted September 11th, 2010 in Audio

I'm doing some projects through my college radio, and I need some voice actors who can help me with some promos. PM me if you're looking to build your portfolio/resume.

Response to: Hey You! Ya You! Posted August 12th, 2010 in General

Since when were tripp pants cool?

Response to: Drag Items Posted August 12th, 2010 in Game Development

Like, go on top of each other? If that's the case, you could write a script that whenever one of the objects hittests the other, it just moves it in the opposite direction that it's being dragged. Real simple solution.

Response to: AS2: "this" in a function Posted August 12th, 2010 in Game Development

Yeah, I already did that. That's how I knew it was a problem with the "this." But I found another solution, so thanks anyways to any potential help.

AS2: "this" in a function Posted August 12th, 2010 in Game Development

This should be just something really simple that I'm failing to understand, for some reason.

if(this.hitTest(_root.player)){
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() {
this.nextFrame();
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);
}

The "this.nextFrame();" won't work inside of a function, and this script IS on the movieclip I'm trying to create the function. Of course, if I replace it with _root.bottle1.nextFrame();, it works fine, I just really don't want to go around naming all the objects I make in this game.

And yes, I have to have the MCs on the stage, and not created dynamically, because it's more along the lines of a point-and-click.

Response to: Look behind you. Posted August 5th, 2010 in General

Dry erase board.

Response to: Newgrounds redesign wishlist Posted August 1st, 2010 in General

The places on your Flash page that say whether a submission was a "collaborative effort" or a "solo effort" should be replaced with how you contributed to the submission: Artist, Programmer, Voice Actor, Writer.

Response to: Saving our score Posted July 26th, 2010 in Game Development

If you don't feel like dealing with those third party leaderboards, Shared Objects is the way to go!

Shared Objects are like cookies that only deal with a user's Flashplayer. They're really easy to set up as well!

Response to: (noob prob) Music Overlapping :( Posted July 26th, 2010 in Game Development

Put stopAllSounds(); on the second frame.

Response to: URL bar image/favicon Posted July 26th, 2010 in General

If Jonner's method didn't work, you can go to View > Page Source and run a control+F search for <link rel="icon" or something like that.

<link rel="icon" href="URL"/>
Whatever is stuck in "URL" will be the image you're looking for.

Response to: Memoirs of a McDonalds Employee Posted July 26th, 2010 in General

I work at a deli and it's really funny when stoned people come in. They think really long and hard about what they want on their sandwhich and get really upset if there isn't enough.

Response to: Burning off your nipples? Posted July 25th, 2010 in General

Supermodels get that done sometimes.

Response to: [dicuss] games you junked? Posted July 23rd, 2010 in Game Development

A concept I thought up when a puppy my parents bought was having trouble becoming housetrained.

Housebroken

You would use the spacebar to figure out which areas were OK to poop in and which ones weren't. If I were to end up finishing this game, I'd probably add different patterns and strange sound effects, which would be different calls a dog learns to understand.

Response to: Tips for the new kid Posted July 23rd, 2010 in Game Development

Audacity is the best free audio software you'll find. It hardly eats up any memory at all and it's extremely easy to use.

Response to: If there was ever a world war 3 Posted July 18th, 2010 in General

Pretty sure Germany and Japan don't have armies. And that might apply to Italy as well.
