nah it werent gunrun

I looked through the archives, back from 2007 and GOD DAMN IT i cant find it! hm...lemme try to add more detail.

the avatar it had was of a black man, and a grren backgorund. the man was running too.

that big monster thing is a machine. it tires to shoot you as you try to get the cogs "obviously".

there's text at the bottom, that keeps showing witty insults towards the person your playing as, and towards you. he even changes his insults every few seconds and repsonds with more insults when you get hurt.

does that help more?

I felt this was the right section for this. it did say "question about the featurs and flash on newgrounds".

I remeber playing a game that was on the front page, where you where this guy who was just coloured black, no face, nothing. you had to run and collect these cogs, with this big thing after you firing lazers and what not. then you had to run bakc to a bunker, and you coudl upgrade fomr there. the style of ground and level was industrial. and you could upgrade yourself form there.

This is a rather detaiuled explanation of the game, but I can't for the life of me think of that the name is. Anyone help out?

I have custom cursors selected from a settings menu, however when the mouse is actually on the targets it is not visible this for somereason is because it is on a layer below the actual target. Is there a way using as3 to make the mouse cursor on the top layer?

do you have a layer for all the actions, or are you putting them onto the same layer?

to be honest, smoothness all depends on the FPS.
I think ti should be able to handle it, if you computer has a good enough RAM and stuf.

Lol, yeah it can.

function clicky(event:MouseEvent){
//stuff
}
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , clicky);

oh...well I find it easier to use on(release) in as tbh. XD

theres a few here i'll use, just save the gif image, import it into flash and you get loads of bitmaps, compile as a movie file and it'll be just like the real image.

this helped with the explosion, now i just need some dust/smoke effects.

you see, for my lastest flash I need effects (in sprite form) like that of SMBZ (ie, hit effects, smoke effects, explosion effects).

I've looked over google and have found no luck. Anyone know where to find such sprites for these effects?

I'd stuck on the AS2 side, seen as AS3 can't use buttons >.>

*squeal* Kingdom hearts! I am SO joining this club!

D: help at all? im all out of ideas on how to fix it.

First off, i wouldnt go for JPEG. static and what not.

but its your choise on what to do.

if you want the background transparent, and its all one colour, then use the magic wand tool, which can be found underneath the lasso tool. (thats for flash)

Mike

Most people would use DreamWeaver, no doubt. I dont know whether it would be better or not, seen as i've never tired it.

the layer is difinately selected. it just keeps giving me a grpahic which isnt the one I want. it's driving me nuts!!

I restarted it, and it made no difference :/

hm... but I use flash CS3 Professional. lemme include a picture.

Bump.

I need serious help on this one. I cant go any further without it fixed, and i've tried loads of things.

Ok i fixed that but now its ding something even more qwierd

when i select a graphic to use, it continually uses a gra[phic that I dont want to use. if i put enough of the graphic i want in, eventually it's shows that grpahic I want, but when i dleete the rest it goes back to the one that I dont want there.

In other words, I have a grpahic called "sonicdown". when I drag it to the stage, it places "sonichurt" in it's place. why is this? how can I fix it?

I have a layer that ISNT locked, but it wont let me drag grpahic into it :/

help?

It seems when I try to move a graphic onto the stage, it wont let me! All it does do is come up with a circle wiht a cross through it, meaning that I can not drag it onto the stage. When obviously I should be able to.

Can anyone help me solve this problem? All I can do is look bakc over what i've already done. :/

help!

You are standing 20 metres away from a tree
The tip of a tree is 35 degress from the ground.
What is the height of the tree?

:obviously, you would use tan(35) x 20. i cant be bothered to give the answer, so use a calculator.

...Is that real?

Change that 2 to a 3 and your done I think. I really don't know anything about AS so I'll probably be wrong lol, hope it helps though.

i need more help becuase i cannot find this and i am not going to actionscript 2 cus i jsut sorted the ads out in action script 3 so can anyone plz help me

GAH.

Ok, it's simple. in the library, select the play button. F9 it and change the 2 to a 3. GAWD.

Here's an idea. It's the most crucial idea you'll ever get. I'll tell you how to do it step by step.

1) read people CC.
2) make changes to your flash.
3) reupload it to spamtheweb.
4) post a new loink of the updated flash.
5) wait for more CC

And there you go.

well.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/2994 38 upon looking at this tutorial, i wondering, how would you make a trail effect on it? it sound simple but im not too sure on how to do it.

I got a few

1) the mad hatters tea party 3009?
2) Undertaker's loop
3) Posh Officer
4) PSWAT - Posh SWAT team.
5) Monocle's and guns. ( I like this one)
6) Top Hat and Bodies.
7) Terroists and Tea

Pick one you like.
