Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I don;t know if its my internet, my computer or your flash
but the browser somewhat malfunctioned when I opened your stw page
but I managed to view your preloader, and its crap.

sorry I'm nood in a mood to give a constructive critique
instead, here's a destructive one (all u said was critique)

its crap, needs work, i dont wanna see it, ill blam it if its in the portal

onClipEvent (load) {
	var tick = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	tick++;
	if (tick>7) {
		if (this._x<_root.mouse._x) {
			this._x = this._x+16;
			tick = 0;
		}
		if (this._x>_root.mouse._x) {
			this._x = this._x-16;
			tick = 0;
		}
		if (this._y<_root.mouse._y) {
			this._y = this._y-16;
			tick = 0;
		}
		if (this._y>_root.mouse._y) {
			this._y = this._y+16;
			tick = 0;
		}
	}
}

don't else-if. we want to test it all.
oh and if you do the if(tick>7) or tick = 0; inside each if's you will have choppy movement. i mean move-stop-move-stop-move-stop thing

the 3 variables are

what I meant by "HE", is the one who made the php,
is this what he said? then use these variables in my sample code before

oh yeah we haven't considered this before lolz
we were so arguing on what to do and how to solve the problem
then we just knew that it was the FLA! ROTFL
how funny is that?! buwahahaha

did they say what data to post?
i mean the variables to post

coz we have ther $_POST['variableName']
and that variableName should be the one passed from flash
and you must know that

on your intro frame comments,
you said like - if you think you could be of USE
so you'll USE us to make your game?

look at my sig, this is my answer

really?? I didn't know that! omg I should be using WAV. dammit thats why my flash are so big.
but if that happens, I think the export movie will take a really considerable time

oh yeah I've heard them before but I didn't know there really was one

yeah encode it to maybe 16 kbps mono.
that will greatly reduce music size

oh and when using this, be sure to tick the "override" check box thing

Also make sure somehow the compress movie option didn't get un-ticked.
File > Publish Setings... > Option Category > Compress Movie; Tick on Box

YES, please make sure this is checked. It happens to me many times

It should be HATE double po...

and and I am REALLY REALLY sorry for the triple post but I need to correct my code

ROOT TIMELINE

game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");

BUTTON

onClipEvent (load) {
	_root.game.data.data1 = "data1";
	_root.game.data.data2 = "data2";
	_root.game.flush();
}

on (release) {
	// REMEMBER THIS IF STATEMENT!
	if ((_root.game.data.data1 == undefined)  && (_root.game.data.data2 == undefined)){
		trace("data 1 does not exist");
		trace("data 2 does not exist");
	} else {
		data1 = _root.game.data.data1;
		data2 = _root.game.data.data2;
		trace(data1);
		trace(data2);
	}
}

I have double posting but I think I need to do this

ROOT TIMELINE

game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");

BUTTON

onClipEvent (load) {
	game.data.data1 = "data1";
	game.data.data2 = "data2";
	game.flush();
}

on (release) {
	// REMEMBER THIS IF STATEMENT!
	if ((game.data.data1 == undefined)  && (game.data.data2 == undefined)){
		trace("data 1 does not exist");
		trace("data 2 does not exist");
	} else {
		data1 = game.data.data1;
		data2 = game.data.data2;
		trace(data1);
		trace(data2);
	}
}

try putting

game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");

on the main timeline (actions - frame)
and dont call it again on the buttons

oh and, you dont have

game.data.name

in the load event, so name is really undefined

you have the onEnterFrame right?
and you are calling gameOver() in it right?
but the gameOver code doesn't work

yes I think its becuase of that... (dynamically added thing)
coz in our previous codes we are just testing ONE zombie
so on the game over function we should have a loop

function gameOver() {
	for(ctrx=0; ctrx<numZombies; ctrx++){
		if (_root.hero_mc.hitTest(_root.zombie_array[ctrx])) {
			trace("zombie hit hero");
		}
	}
}

tell me if it works or not

_root.statbar._xscale = _root.stats
}

uhm that's not quite right
i think it should be:

_root.statbar._xscale = Math.round( (_root.stats/_root.MAXstats) * 100);

to make it complete

you have a variable,
lets say

x=100;

then you added 5%

x = x + (x * .05);

now its 105

then added 5% again

x = x + (x * .05);

now its the one with decimal places

if you want it 110,
then add 5% of the original, not the new value

original=100;
x = original + (original * .05);      // makes 105
x = x + (original * .05);      // makes 110

I want some code that can determine whether or not an item is in either of the slots, so if the flippers are in the inventory he can swim and if they aren't, he can't.

make a boolean variable in the _root

hasFlippers=false;

then if he gets the flippers

hasFlippers=true;

then when he goes to water,

if(hasFlippers){ swim }
else { dead  }

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

you already have gotoAndPlays if the if-elseifs
so those are only for walking?

then you code must

if(swimming){
     if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else { }
}else{
     if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else if(key thing){ }
     else { }
}

the subtitles button must also be a movie clip,
and it must be named pauseButton

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'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 :)
