huh, so that's what seizure skipping looks like

It is one of the healthier things to smoke and not addicting if done in moderation (as all things in life should be). I usually go with my girlfriend or a couple of friends to a hookah lounge and we spend a couple hours smoking, eating, and drinking. Very chill and very relaxing.

and that's the way to do it. everyone here freaking out about tobacco is thinking of the chain smokers who do it way too much for the wrong reasons, smoking to me is a social thing that everyone should experience at least once (i recommend the hookah though)

what the heck is this? are you selling art?

did you mean something like this? http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/3808/539 07_sword.php

school assignment? are you in 2nd grade?

i can't wait to be the envy of all my friends and show up to class wearing my stylish $80 value obama shoes and free ultra cool obama backpack!
i bought them because they were literally running off the shelf

do we have to use your template?

this is for a taekwondo club right? so the moves will be taekwondo?

i'm more amazed by the position of his nipples

just pick your light source(s) and have at it.
here's a quick cell shade example. the areas without a blue dot are shaded. if you get he hang of cell shading you can move on to gradients and some oher cool shit.
this probably isn't that accurate but w/e

i recently came across this awesome flash site http://www.nawlz.com/
anyone see it before? it's probably my first time ever getting sucked into a comic. you don't see creative stuff like this often =(

adobe thought it would be a bright idea to make the stage and workspace the same color and not include a preference for it. best you can do is add a background layer and color the workspace yourself

this works if you put it on a movieclip, i don't know why the code that guy gave you isn't working
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

thanks =D i thought there was something more simple i could do but this'll work for now

i'm still getting the same problem

oh and i'm using as2

i have a slideshow within a movieclip, and i would like the slideshow to continue to the next frame when key A is pressed and released.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(65)){
play();
}
}

now when i press A, it blasts through all the frames even though i have a stop(); on each frame. isn't there a (Key.isPressed) or something similar i can do?

oh nvm i got it, i was using "if" instead of "else if". the code works great =D

the char is running right through the walls some of the time, it's wierd

that doesn't make sense to me at all XD
this is what i've been trying
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.player.hitTest (this)) {
_root.player.speed=0;
}
}
even if the code did work i don't think the player would be able to move anymore..

At 1/18/09 05:30 PM, BillysProgrammer wrote: if(player.hitTest(_root.wall)) {

i know how this part works

trace("I Hit The Wall");

i'm not sure what to do with this though, how does tracing work?

alright i figured out how to get his movements working, but how do i make him stop moving when he runs into a wall?

If you tell flash do some 1 thing when a certain condition is met, and to do another when that condition plus another is met, technically both conditions are correct.

In the above, when the up key is press only, the up conditional will be true. It'll output 1. If up and right keys are being pressed, it'll only output 2 because the code can tell the difference between up and up-right. If you examine the difference in the two examples, you'll see how they differ and how the second one works and the first doesn't.

i get what you're saying, but i don't understand where i'm supposed to add in the walk speed and the character animations, i've never seen a code set up like this before

At 1/14/09 07:10 PM, Deathcon7 wrote: You've got two options: you can have movement and animation as two separate conditionals, or you could combine it all. I would suggest the former simply because it's easier to read.

So for example you'd use the following:

thanks for the reply! the code is confusing to me though, i don't see why you need the "true" in there, and i don't know how to use any of that bottom half of the code.
this is what i've managed to do myself
onClipEvent (load) {
walkSpeed = 5;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_y-= walkSpeed;
this.gotoAndStop(9);
}
if (Key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
_x+= walkSpeed;
this.gotoAndStop(10);
}
if (Key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
_x-= walkSpeed;
this.gotoAndStop(11);
}
if (Key.isDown(key.DOWN)) {
_y+= walkSpeed;
this.gotoAndStop(12);
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP) && Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this.gotoAndStop(13);
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
this.gotoAndStop(14);
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this.gotoAndStop(15);
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP) && Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this.gotoAndStop(16);
}

}
here's what it gives you http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/140109/7 1676_char.php
the diagonal animations arn't working right, and i still don't know how to use the idle animations

i'm trying to make my character move in all 8 directions. inside the char is a walking animation and an idle animation for each angle, but i can't figure out a good way to program it =(

what kind of artist do you need? flash?, photoshop? 3d?
