but when i get there no sound played. i also gave this code to the other frame and still no sound when i go back. any help?

I think you create a movie clip, and code it with somthing like click play so the movie clip is played.
Have two frame, one blank with stop coded on. and the other stop coded, but wit the music file in it.
I cant rember exactly how I did it last time, but I think it was that. Hard to explain. Tell me if you dont get it

I want it though, to stay rollovered if your mouse goes off of it. How would i do such a thing?

If you mean instead of clicking for your buttom to be pressed you want it roll overed to be pressed then:

on (release, rollOver) {
play();
}

Or if you want it so once you roll off it:

on (release, rollOver, rollOut) {
play();
}

Just try reinstalling flash. No idea what else you can do, sorry.

But now, whenever I try to "test" the movie, it will freeze when it's about to load, and Flash will stop operating. I also try to export the movie, but it won't do that anymore. Now, when I look at the SWF version of the movie, it's completely white and won't go forward. I can still animate it, but I don't know if my Flash 8 Basic software will any longer operate.

Help?

Are you using any actionscript, like "Stop" on one of the frames? Have you deleted somthing? eg the frame or the Movie clip?

Re-install flash?

To improve it you need:-

Boundries so you can't fall of the map.
Improve art
A story line - Possibly shows the character taking somthing. He blacks out. The quote comes up. And the character gets up an is in that world. He collects a triangle, and says he feels fuller. Once he collects all the triangles he regains himself and becomes sane/well/ etc.

More characters living on the map.

If you need any help I'll be glad to, just pm me.
I have basic scripting knowledge and can draw.

I can teach you how to draw it's easy.

The way I learnt was by seeing some one else's work. Thinking, "All I have to do is draw lines easy" Copied it.

Re-drew from memory. (This was alterted as I didn't have the image infront of me, therefore anything I couldn't remeber I guessed how to do)

Do the same for all the styles you like.

Then As you start drawing from memory, you may think; I prefered how Example artists did the eyes, I'll use his syle of drawing for eyes instead.

After many drawings; you begine to get your own stlye. Soon it'll be unrecogniseable from your sources. Since there's so many in there, and many self developed idea's in there.

I recogmened - Manga style - for basic proportion etc.

Then find some artists wtih quailities you like. eg Jolly Rotten, if you want a dark style, or Petie Emi, if you want a more friendly style. (Both deviantart user names)

Hope this helps good luck.

Can I join then, using UK and Germany?

I'd like to join. Is the countries part important, or could I just draw 2 2012 style armies? eg it's a world war therefore two sides?
