Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

What is this program Illustrator? I saw it on the Adobe website but the description as usually was very vague. >: (
Is it anything like Flash? Can it help with flash animation?

Second question:
I had flash but the trial expired. : (
I go to a public highschool. Can I get the students discount when I buy flash?

(sorry didn't finish my whole idea) ...I also hate how they assume we have no morals and are inhuman monsters just because we don't believe in their divine force. I am an Atheist but I still know how to behave.

I don't have a problem with religion- but with extremists. The Christians who say you'll go to Hell and be burned and punished for ETERNITY just because of your personal beliefs, yet, if a person kills a baby but repents and believes in god he'll go to heaven and be awarded with an absolutely perfect world.. Nice god. "BElieve in me or burn in a prison forever!"

Religion is basically an ancient form of government, in my opinion it all seems "outdated" and is just causing pointless fighting, arguments, and sometimes killing.

And then they say their all about peace. And erase the killings from the history books.

THis is fucking hilarious!

yes I have a tween on that layer, so is there any way you know of to get around this rule?

because I have other layers with tweens and it doesn't always do that.

help?

Help?

HELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I try to replace a graphic (boss_rh) with another one at a certain keyframe, but every time I move a symbol onto the stage on that layer, it automatically turns into the symbol boss_rh.

this is weird.

hint?

hint?

that would work. I was hoping their would be an easier way. :o

I am making a movie, to make things easier I made the characters movieclips of the people walking, then use a motion tween to move them around. The problem is that when they reach their destination, their feet keep moving around. How do I make the movieclip stop and start when I want it to?

I know the basics- I decided the best way to learn it was to get some advice and just jump in and make a game.

You could try just rotating with a motion tween or frame-by-frame without using any actionscript, then patch it up some until you get it to look how you want.

I've been using this code for the enemy- but the problem is only one of the enemies will actually work at a time- If I right click on one and select "send to back" it will work but none of the others will- they just sit there and don't damage the character.
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 8;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x += speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x -= speed;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.player)) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

I agree. this is a waste of space.
No one else post on this its a waste of time.

I actually took you advice and tried to make a game- so far just this error (on the replay button)

Not all tutorials on Newgrounds are in the tutorial section, idiot. Try using the search bar.

Sorry it annoyed you so much asshole.

Interesting way of putting it.

The sound starts when on the keyframe before it, no matter where the sound is.
Insert a keyframe at the point you want it to play at.

I knew about the sarcasm but I chose to ignore it. :p

While they're at it, they might as well come do my laundry and cook me some dinner too.

Ok then- do you know of a good AS tutorial somewhere online then? I already said- the ones on Newgrounds are almost useless.

AS3 is to confusing because it's new and no tutorials are over it.

How helpful. :p

The tutorials on Newgrounds are pretty much useless. Does anyone know of (simple) tutorial on how to make a simple game with only these:

Move character with arrow keys.
Health bar.
Shoot.
Enemies.
Scrolling background.

send a PM to the person who made the game. they know all the cheats.

Yes I have CS3- the confusion was I assumed AS2 was very old and Assumed tutorials would be in AS3- it was stupid of me. I'm new to flash and know almost nothing about it.

I've been reading tutorials on basic actionscript. I draw something>convert to symbol>movie clip then I right click and select actions and it says "the selection cannot have actions applied to it".

WHat the Hell?!!

help.

i'm already starting to laugh at this.
