I am really sorry for the triple post but I just didn't notice the oPress part

pauseButton.onPress=function() {
     maskName._visible=false;
}

pauseButton.onpress=function() {
     maskName._visible=false;
}

ah, just change the instance names,
sorry for the crappy code last time

oh and this code goes to the main timeline (the frame code), not in any clip

convert your mask into a movie clip,
in my example, the blue box must be a movie clip.
then put any instance name you want.

then on the button

<em>maskName</em>._visible=false;

the mask should go out, meaning the subtitle also should be hidden

when you pause the movie,
the subtitles should be paused too cause its in the main timeline

I need the code to make him go to certain frames in the MC when he is swimming.

which one do you need?

I'm about 102% sure it's because it is crap. Work on your skills, not everyone can be fortunate enough to pass judgement the first time through.

you're just 102% sure, i am 106% sure its a crap

what movie file? what extension?
maybe you'll need to import it and play with a media player in the components (FLV)

the blue rectangle is the mask in the upper layer
the red brush strokes are in the lower layer

at run time, only the ones inside the mask is shown
see the after masking

so if ONLY the ones inside the mask is shown,
and if the option for subtitle is OFF
then we will remove the mask,
which means no subtitle will be shown

im pretty bad in english sorry :(

haven't tried this before but i have an idea

there is a mask for the subtitle layer, just show everything,
but if the option is off, the mask goes off,

get the idea?

wow this is difficult. maybe its too large for flash to handle,
or the one you're importing is already encoded in a bad way

try to copy-paste this on the root timeline

onEnterFrame=function(){
	function gameOver() {
		if (_root.hero_mc.hitTest(_root.tempZombie_mc)) {
			trace("zombie hit hero");
		}
	}
}

another guess:
maybe you forgot to put the instance names on the clips lolz :)

not YET,
but once finished, it will be released to the net which is now an MMORPG

man that was a long time ago,
and those which are not made on home computers are the 1%.
how much do you think internet has expanded over the years?

the new ones (mainly blogs/personal sites etc) are made at home if not, at the office first

and the issue here is where do you make them first
automatically in the net?

are you encoding it first from WAV to MP3?
or encoding it from a big MP3 to lower filesize MP3?
or not encoding it?

is it still ok to pass?
i made it in 5 mins

Whats the difference. Either way it's just an example. Don't impede on my e-penis >:(

sorry, I was caught up with an efficiency thread also here in the flash forum

you mean IMPORT a song into flash,
if it says that, there's something wrong with the encoding if its mp3,
else, its not a good music format. midi is not allowed etc...

the attacks are not working
only the movement, but its fine,
only - its not smooth though
i mean, rough ground, not accurate movement

so you're not the one who made the php?

where are you putting this code?
in an MC or in the frame?

uncheck allow smoothing

if this doesn't work,
i give up i dont know

so its a 5mb with no preloader, even worse, its playing in the browser.
please link to the WEB PAGE of spam the web, not the SWF URL itself
so that we will know its loading, not getting a black screen with nothing in it

(still DLing)

lock this thread

choose Lossless (PNG/GIF) in the compression

THIS IS THE CORRECT CODE
he said from right to left so its _x negative

speed=3;

function spawnZombie():Void {
	if (zombie_array.length<=numZombies) {
		var tempZombie_mc:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("zombie_id", "zombie"+zombie_array.length+"_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
		tempZombie_mc._x = Stage.width;
		tempZombie_mc._y = 480;
		tempZombie_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){ this._x-=speed; }
		zombie_array.push(tempZombie_mc);
	}
}

oh yeah I didn't notice that
sorry for my bad behavior before,
here's the code:

function gameOver():Void {
	if (_root.hero_mc.hitTest(_root.tempZombie_mc)) {
		trace('zombie hit hero');
	}
}

he's making a tutorial, not the actual MMORPG, why ask if he has one?

well, realm crafter can even be hosted on home computers

this is true, 99% of the things on the net was first tested and run on home computers

yeah but while under development,
you can just post it on the net,
we need it tested on home computers first,
making the local PC a temporary server

just like local servers / localhosts (xampp,wamp)

do it first before asking again.
yes like that

in your library, check the properties of the imported bitmap,
maybe it has its own export quality, increase it..

but the quality in export/publish settings doesn't work? sure?

you want a good coder for a bad animator.
come on man...

as far as I can analyze,
you wanted to make allowedToToggle=true whenever:
1. the arrow keys are not down
2. voidDeath is false
3. movespeed is 0
right?

areKeysUp=true;

this is a boolean to tell if the keys are up (not down)

for(i=37; i<41; i++){ if(Key.isDown(i)){ areKeysUp=false; } }

this loops and checks if the arrow keys are down,
if any one of them is down, make areKeysUp=false
note that I looped from 37 to 40 which are the key codes for arrow keys

allowedToToggle = (!voidDeath) && (moveSpeed==0) && areKeysUp;

then we know that logical operators generate a boolean result
so just && them all and if any one is false, allowedToToggle=false
if all is true, allowedToToggle=true
