Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

so you want us to search our asses off together with you?

lock this thread!
this is not even for the flash forums!
go to the general section!

damn, I didn't see that! gotoandplay must be gotoAndPlay!

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
     if (_root.hero.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
          gotoAndPlay(3);
     }
}

sorry for double post

here we go

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
     if (_root.hero.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
          gotoandplay(3);
     }
}

its in the flash parameters of the html
can you see the LOOP="false" ? there we go

<EMBED SRC="swffile.swf" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="100" PLAY="true" LOOP="false" WMODE="opaque" QUALITY="high"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>

like you said, its crappy...
now what do you want us to do?

is this just horizontal?
or 60 units around?

coder is fine, its widely used here in the flash forums

I would like to help but I can't, I'm still working on my game updates

I think AS2 still works on CS3

lolz we are the same,
my game was in the frontpage longer than yours during pico day,
but even now I only have $20 ,
we submitted in april, I got $7+ during that day, but was reset in May 1
so right now, $19.81....

my eCPM is really low ya know,
sometimes $0.01, but other times, its $4+
I hope NG will consider rolling over last month's earnings to the next month

if you want to implement the publish settings,
in the publish settings' check boxes,
check "override sound settings"

I think the Flash section is the best place to put this,
not on Where is/ how to... coz' im not asking, I'm suggesting
and its really connected to flash

In our submissions, in the authors comments,
should it have special formatting?
like bold, italic, underlined, links etc...

formatting is really useful if you want to emphasize things,
to link to update pages / official sites / walkthroughs

-today, if you put a URL in the author's comments,
then save it, it will be broken,
either a space or new line will be inserted in between

sorry i got something wrong

i hope this helps

I think its in the gotoAndStop() or gotoAndPlay()
this usually happens when you have 2 or more scenes

it happened to me on my game portal TD,
it just went to the last frame and everything is not responding,
even the buttons are like - dont have onPress (but they really have)

so what I did was, I named the destination frames
and I gotoAndStopped or gotoAndPlayed at the frame name,
dont include the scene

sample:
from scene 1, you want to goto a frame in scene 2
rename the destination frame in scene 2 as "hello" (just a sample)
then the event on frame 1, put

gotoAndStop("hello");

i hope this helps

ah I know what you need, you need arrays!
Here are some helpful links:
AS: Main
AS: Main - Arrays

EXPLANATION

create a LoadVars Object

var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

assign some values to any variable you want into the LoadVars object

send_lv.var1 = value1;
send_lv.var2 = value2;

then send it to the php file using this syntax

send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://url/of/the/phpfile.php", send_lv, "POST");

this function will receive if the sending was successful or not in the boolean parameter
then do what you want inside the ifs

send_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
     if (success) { trace("Yahoo!"); }
     else { trace("oh no!"); }
};

create an empty movie clip that will eventually hold your variables temporarily

this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

then load it using this syntax

target_mc.loadVariables("http://url/of/the/phpfile.php");

now assign the loaded variables in the loader_mc to your root variables

var1 = loader_mc.var1;
var2 = loader_mc.var2;

FOR ME:
sendAndLoad of the LoadVars class only sends the variavles to PHP,
the load there, is loading the result (the returning value ie: success/failure boolean)

SENDING TO PHP

var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.var1 = value1;
send_lv.var2 = value2;
send_lv.sendAndLoad("http://url/of/the/phpfile.php", send_lv, "POST");

CHECK IF SENT

send_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
     if (success) { trace("Yahoo!"); }
     else { trace("oh no!"); }
};

I use loadVariables to actually load variable from flash to PHP

LOADING FROM PHP

this.createEmptyMovieClip("loader_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
target_mc.loadVariables("http://url/of/the/phpfile.php");
var1 = loader_mc.var1;
var2 = loader_mc.var2;

IMPORTANT NOTES:
In loading from PHP to flash, your PHP code must print a TEXT in this format:

var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3

you dont just need to learn arrays, i think you need to learn everything from start

You need the closest object, not the smallest number.

thats the same! smallest number and closest objects!
coz the numbers are the distances ob the objects d*mb*ss

oh and you got the URL wrong, here's the correct one

KAD.onPress = function() {
    getURL("http://www.freewebs.com/faithlessdevotion/","_blank");
}

remove the onClipEvent and put thi8s code in the action of the frame

KAD.onPress = function() {
    getURL("http://www.freewebs.com/fait hlessdevotion/","_blank");
}

remove the onClipEvent and put thi8s code in the action of the frame

do you give consolation prizes for those who didn't manage to enter the top 10?

how do we know the winners?
is it by score? or by NG staff pick? or nomination then voting?
thanks in advance

i agree, either get a better mic or avoid your mouth to be too near the mic
