Topic: where does one get flash programs

Posted: 03/13/04 02:38 AM

Forum: Flash

no one has ever been caught/brought to court by macromedia from discussions in online forums. It's unprofessional and would just give them a crappy reputation. There's enough honest people in the world that make it so macromedia doesn't have to worry about kids who steal flash. Plus they know if you want to use your flash prowess in the real world (for a company) the company will ALWAYS buy a license for their copy of flash. Flash grew from piracy, and nothing is being done to stop it from being given out for free.

and why you think getting caught stealing something just means paying for it i have no idea

Forum: Flash

Run as close to 24 fps as possible, all the flash books I have read tell me they've found, through testing, 24 fps is best

I started coding my latest game at 12 fps and it was really hard to get the fps up and still make it look good, always go with 20-24

Topic: when does Flash MX like to crash?

Posted: 07/30/03 07:14 PM

Forum: Flash

hopefully, you didn't put import protection on it the last time you exported it, or you remember the import password

reinstall flash mx, and Import the .swf file and your on your way

and just a PSA since we're talking about crashes : Swift 3d crashes a LOT if you Ctrl + z more than 1-2 times, use ctrl + x to get rid of unwanted objects rather than ctrl + z, you could crash/corrupt your file

It isn't possible, not in PHP at least

And be prepared for other educated folks to tell you the same

the flash/php combo is only capable of doing turn based multiplayer games currently

thats done with flash/php, and i can safely say that game is slower than montgomery burn's genitals

I saw a 6 frame lightwave animation go over half a megabyte

I'm sure 3ds max is just as bad - Looks good, but NG users don't have the greatest internet connections, so to reach a bigger audience, go with swift 3d

btw that orange is all out of proportion :P

3d Studios max is the best

although its SO much harder to learn

you can learn swift 3d in a day, but 3d studios max would probably take you a much longer time, Lets put it this way - Pixar uses lightwave, a program as hard to use as 3d studios max, to make full legnth 3d movies- 3d Studios max is definately not something you would get just to play around with every once in a while

It's an automated account that makes a post everyday with the top flash. Tom has nothing to do with it.

we're talking about the top of the frontpage...with the pictures and the content thats there for 1+ month

making the frontpage automated is no harder than having pbot post the daily winners, and it wouldn't cause any lag! statistics are updated everyday at 12 pm and I never notice any slowdown of the system and it has to do mass calculations for every submission

Thats pretty short sighted outlook on ANYTHING

A kid may play a sport for years after he decides he doesn't like just because the last year he played it, and the year before that he played it and so on...Just because he's playing it doesn't mean he actually enjoys it

And I'm not complaining, I'm meerly making a suggestion, - If the front page were on an automated system it would mean less work for Tom and Wade ; )

me saying the mankind game sucks is just my opinion - which currently has no effect on whether it's on the front page or not, neither does yours - or anyone who posts here but 2, count em 2, people

Ok this has been bugging me for a while : Why does the daily feature not get to at least be on the front page for the day it is the daily feature??

I'm tired of seeing stuff with great scores get the daily feature and like <3000 hits and no front page, and I'm forced to see that horrible man-kind game every damn day

The daily feature should get a spot on the front page for at least 24 hours, if not, the front page should be determined by votes/how old the flash is

LATELY, it's been better than it was, But I think many agree with me that some great flash movies dont get the attention they deserve and some terrible stuff makes the front page - And I do understand the fact that they can't afford to put a 5 MB movie on the frontpage for bandwith reasons, but come on you know this is a problem

overhead hack and slash adventure :) It's damn good too, been working on it for a while - After this though, No more long games : (

BUT after this, I get to start attending a class centered around flash : ) so you never know, maybe I'll be assigned a project :P

the file size is tiny and It's made specifically for slower machines AND its an overhead hack and slash ( poison tipped arrows included : D )...I think It'll win me the daily feature, I'll just say that much

decent? yeah right, flash is as easy to learn as ms paint until you have to learn actionscript. your movie only uses 1 object and 1 function (key object, gotoandplay function)

Why do you doubt anyone can do better than you?? What you did would take me an hour at most

And thats only because I'd have to put a blindfold on and draw those ugly things you call your graphics for 20 minutes

You dont take crticism well, therefore you will not improve if you dont listen to the advice your given

theres supposedly a 6x-10x faster version (well, compiler) of flash coming

you may want to wait until you hear about it before releasing this becaues I have seen so many games that are good get low scores or miss out on the frontpage becaues they are hardly playable

go to we're here ( i forgot the url)..they have an article about it - And remember, you lose 4-5 fps running any flash through internet explorer...

Topic: Stopping enemy in tracks

....

Alls you need is

if (deathcheck==0)

{

// ALL YOUR ENEMIES CODE

}

if (_root.enemy.hittest(_root.gunbullet))

{
_root.enemy.gotoAndPlay(8)
deathcheck=1

}

the if statement will be false when the hittest is true, making him not move and playing his death animation
