The bulletball thing seems pretty simple to me. He said hes been going 26 years. I dont know about you, but it cost money just to stay alive for that long (food clothes etc) so it seems reasonable that he had to sell everything.

It doesnt belong anywhere, if your making a collab read the collab rules.

Haha I was making an attempt at irony. Most of the general forum is just people trying to get +1 post counts. Im not sure why we display them at all, I bet we would get less spam if there was no record of peoples post count anywhere.

Imagine if people formed an opinion of other users based on their flash submissions, reviews, art submissions, audio submissions and there blog posts. Instead some people make a snapshot based off post count

Where as in here we .....

Your flash is set to use AS 3 but your trying to use a tutorial giving you AS 2

Its expecting a right brace at the end? Hmm that sounds like it would take a genius to fix.

New to Flash? Read this First!

Read the topic. Already went through that. Your an idiot.

Youve got two on enter frame loops. You only want one. Copy the stuff from inside one to inside the other.

Like 60 or 70 pounds for pokemon stadium. It was nothing like the gameboy games, such a dissapointment.

Id just get something comfy rather then some silly gimmick that isnt gonna work.

Id get a big bean bag thing :)

Is it inside any kind of loop? Its pretty relevant if it is or isnt. This is like the most simple code there is, and theres really nothing anyone can help you with, youve just misspelled a instance name somewhere or you havent got that code in a proper function.

Does your cam move at all or just stay still the whole time?

Firstly, I recommend you start learning AS 3 instead of AS 2, but if your gonna stick with AS 2 then...

This should help you abit. Its badly written and doesnt contain much but you might pick some things up
AS: Random Enemies

Since your a beginner Id recommend doing it this way, even though its not how Id tackle it myself

You need something like if (random(50) == 1) { to get you started. Inside there youd want to have a duplicateMovieClip to copy your enemies.

Then id have a variable 'position' that is a random number up to 4. Each number corresponding to a different side of the screen. At the top, _y = -10 and _x = random(550). At the right side _y = random (400) and _x = 560

This should cover getting your enemy to move around

Hope this helps in some way.

It's AS2 and what exactly would you like me to elaborate more on?

See those 3 questions? You answered one but the other two might be a start.

onEnterFrame = function () {
vcam_mc._x = _root.player_mc._x;
vcam_mc._y += (_root.player_mc._y-_y)/80;
}

What ive done there is put it into the onEnterFrame loop, which makes it go through the code every frame, not just once when the frame first loads, which is what your code on its own did.

If you do make extra levels and what not. Please please make them balanced and not just completely half arsed. I bought swords and sandals 3 after playing the trial, the rest of the game is so ridiculous, but they knew you'd already bought it, so who cares if its not up to the standard of the rest of the game.

Id happily use my phone to buy stuff, id much rather do that then a credit card. And the kids love wasting there credit on crappy ring tones and what not, there's clearly money for taking from those clowns.

I think in multiplayer games that kind of revenue has the most potential, people love to show up with all the new fancy hats they have bought for their in game character. People love paying for dress up games as long as its disguised as something else.

I dont understand. Is that the only part of code? Are you using as 3 or 2? Has everything got the right instance names?

My guess is that youve just got that, so it will only move the camera the once at the beggining and then never again. But I cant really help more unless you elaborate

I was gutted at air mcnairs death :( I remember hating him being a titan and me being a colts fan, but still. Everyone always said he was a really nice guy, and hes died in a really really shady way :/

Yer I was really excited expecting some kind of ultra geek conversation about reprogramming your microwave for optimum cooking speeds. Dissapointing day.

You havent even watched it, how do you know it doesnt have adam phillips style animation and an incredibly involving plot?

Definately

Some animations entertain you by making you laugh, some are serious and make you ponder the meaning of life, and some are just porn. Just all different ways of entertaining people, dont know why it gets so much hating.

Everyone else did it you clown. Stop whining. Practice. Unless your blind Im sure you can see how you can improve your flash.

You can be outside and alone, I do think its sad to stay in for that long, theres only so much you can experience in your room, and its not a lot. Theres a hell of a lot more to life then you can enjoy in your house, and I think if you stay inside all the time its a sad and wasted life. But hell I dont want to get personal, its your life.

Its stuff like that which encourage these jokes. Its like when people say OH NO THAT ART IS TOO CONTROVERSIAL WE SHOULD BAN IT and then because of the infamy they create more people will go and see it. If people stopped saying 'too soon' then people wouldn't think its so funny. 90% of comedy is in timing anyway, so what do you expect people to do? Wait a year and then tell it? How does that make it any different?

Its not as complicated as it might look to you, just dive straight in and start messing about with it.

But hell its your game, go make a dress up if you dont fancy a challenge

Ugh. Im sick of these jackson jokes already. Har har he was a peado and now hes dead what fun. They stopped being funny after the first... 2. Dont get me wrong in principle I have nothing against them, but they are all just repetitive and the same now.

I did think that punch out parody of tysons daughter was a bit harsh though, but it did make me laugh

I agree with toast on working best in the middle of the night. I get like 90% of my stuff done when it feels like im about to fall asleep. I came up with a theory that its because my brain can only really focus on one thing, because its tired, and therefore it doesnt get distracted. It gets to the point where I dont go to bed because I know in the morning I wont be able to work on whatever it is.
When I eventually get round to a proper job, Im gonna go nightshift for this.

And gust what you said, about not going out for weeks at a time, thats just sad man.

Im completely confused with what you do and what you say, but it appears you have absolutely no grasp of how if statements and variables work an should be used.

If you want to be able to help yourself instead of copying code:
If Statements
Variables

My guess is your going to ignore those claiming you already know everything about if statements and variables. But obviously if that were true you wouldnt have this problem, whatever it is.

Rather then how, Id be asking why.

Latest one

Anything else need changing.

Thats your game? The AI Is boring, and the whole premise of the game is poor. Collecting white dots, really thats it? The driving engine is pretty poor, so to base a whole game around it is a bad idea.

Steering and acceleration are both awful

They seemed to pay alot more then the other companies, I was suspicious about how they could afford that, turns out they couldnt.
