this._name.removeMovieClip();

That is my code, It wont remove my movie clip... I have...

one MC
a button with that code

I want it to delete the whole mc. I have lots of these, which is why I want to only delete the instance name of that one. I am using traces, and it notices that instance name, now I just need to delete it...

Try just:

this.removeMovieClip();

That should work if it's being called from within the button.

right now it does the combo if you tap or if you hold down the button

remember that im trying to do it with 1 button(or key)

Aight, check this out. There are probably better ways to do this, but this works:

//make a MC with instance name "dude" with 3 frames: the last 2 named "atk0" and "atk1" respectively (for the 2 diff types of attacks). Then paste the following code onto the first frame of the main timeline:

this.dwn=false;
this.punches=0;
this.timeout=5;

this.onEnterFrame=function()
{
if (!Key.isDown(Key.UP))
{
this.dwn=false;
}
else
{
if (!this.dwn)
{
if (this.punches==0)
{
this.timecv=0;
//trace("set int");
this.myint=setInterval(chkMulti,75,this);
}
this.punches+=1;
this.dwn=true;
}
}
}

function chkMulti(who)
{
who.timecv+=1;
if (who.punches<=1)
{
who.dude.gotoAndStop("atk0");
}
else
{
who.dude.gotoAndStop("atk1");
}
//trace(who.timecv);
if (who.timecv>=who.timeout)
{
who.timecv=0;
who.punches=0;
who.dude.gotoAndStop(1);
clearInterval(who.myint);
}
}

//
What it does is uses on enterframe to check keypresses but makes sure you let the key up before recognizing another press. Then it uses a setInterval timer to check to see how many times the key is pressed in a certain period before resetting itself to wait for the next punch to trigger it. In effect, pressing "up" once plays the "atk1" anim, but pressing "up" twice really fast transitions the "atk1" into "atk2"

I didnt say it was a programming issue. I say it was a math issue. thanks for your help though.

Are you trying to maintain an aspect ratio?

ex:

You have a photo that's 3x5 (3 in wide by 5 in tall). You know that you can enlarge it to fit a picture frame whose width is 15 in...so how tall does the frame need to be to maintain the pic's aspect ratio (do it doesn't have to be squashed or cropped)?

var dim1=3;
var dim2=5;

var newdim1=15;

var newdim2=(dim2*newdim1)/dim1;

That's the formula.

You impress me every time you post something. You really need to finish off these ideas because you've got serious talent.

What ever happened to that lemmings API thing you were gonna put together that I gave you grafix for?

Imagine this at about 1/10th the size :D

Your Frod-Os one is funny...even if it is "O"-themed, it's the best "O"-themed one so far.

This one's for you Pox and Neg.

I would like to get in on this plz.

Here is a picture of my Pico.

You're probably telling the clip to gotoAndPlay over and over on every frame, thus as soon as the MC is about to go to frame 2 of your animation, it gets told to go back to frame 1.

Try one of the following:

1) Nest an "if" statement in the key isDown code to check to see if the animation has completed before it goes to and Plays. Then, on the last frame of the anim put a "this._parent.animcomplete=true" bit.

ie:

if (Key.isDown(key.BLAH))
{
if (mydude.animcomplete)
{
mydude.gotoAndPlay(4);
mydude.animcomplete=false;
}
}

2. Nest the desired animation in its own movieclip that can be placed on the targeted frame. So frame 4 would have 1 movieclip and within that MC is the nested animation you want.

Hope my diagnosis of the problem is not off-base.

Well here's a screenshot of my game so far.

The graphics completely own all of your puny graphics right now.

Top-down shooter eh?

I plan on doing something, I've been working on an engine for a while on an off...I'm just not sure I'll have time to finish it....but that's never stopped me from entering before!

Heh, thanks for the publicity on my wacom art...though I'm sure it's not worthy of much praise. :P

I like Bug's...A lot...

good composition and executed very well...not to mention an original idea.

I waited until my Wacom arrived from the NG crew to make this...Thanks for the wicked nice tool guys! This is literally the first thing I've made with it...still learning obviously.

the only problem with that is that the style of the old bytesize was to keep cycling new toons- so in the case that a game came up you'd have to have like a 'skip game' button or something : /

Or just "game over" and move to the next game or toon.

Sounds like fun.

Those sample movies were pretty funny....reminded me of telling jokes at scout camp.

That game was really fun. Really fun.

Its so deep into the calendar that if you dont know its newgrounds by now you should be taken off of life support. Maybe just borrow motifs like that cityscape.. maybe make it seasonal looking.. anyway like i said this is how i brainstorm.. i simply am posting it here because i felt lonely.

Those are really nice mockups, but I think bezman is right that we don't want to let people submit personalized pics for their events...I was thinking more some sort of sub-header that would ALWAYS show on the event details page...maybe a set of sub-headers that rotate randomly just saying "You're now looking at an event's details." Just so that one page, the "viewdetails.php" page isn't so boring.

Wait, whats the design outline? And the logo thing has to be sort of generally themed, right?

I was just instructing you to design an outline too (in addition to the header art)...something that can contain the info.
