Well my aim with my post was to bring at least a smile to a couple of people, clearly that one failed =/

I shall now let it drop here since i dont want to be accused of bringing down any more moods, so I bring forth this:

The second I read your last bit I immediatly thought

"What's that coming over the hill?
Is it a monster?
It's just the results!"

post about standing up for ones self, edited out to save space :)

I was attempting to go for the humerous side of self-deprecation.
I have the confidence to back up any of my own work, otherwise I wouldn't do it. If I didn't feel confident I could write up a story based on a music piece I would not have entered in the first place.
My downfall isn't confidence, it would be motivation.

I'm not one for trying to win all the time. All I did was make a little story and want to see how it fared in the world of more professional writing.
I entered the competition and completed my entry, I'm happy with that alone.

[and just to be a little smartass myself, it should be "Let's GET back and read" :)]

And btw, either I missed the meaning of the rhetorical question or you missed that one out.

You would have thught gum would make a post about the winer rather than just pm the winner and leave the rest of us sorry sacks of crap in the dark.

Ah well, any possibility of critique for my poor excuse of a story? I'd like to know how badly it failed =p

Self-deprecation ftw =D

Did i make the deadline?

If i was so horribly at writing I wouldn't be interested in this contest now would I?

but rather than start up a useless and pointles argument that will leave many people ticked off I'll just write my story and let IT do the talking for me.

Have a nice day sir

"No voice acting, that's the only limitation."

I did, which is why I ask since "THAH THREEEEEAD" [both discussion and actual] do not say one word about about the song's actual length or if it had to sync with the story. The contest thread only mentions tempo as a good way to increase the quality of the story, and this is not a limitation I'm querying, but rather an implementation question.

Is there a limit to the LENGTH of the chosen song? or can it be a sorta loop?
I was wondering since idk if the music has to sorta 'sync' with the story or be more of a suitable background music. Or is that up to the contestant?

I'm just wondering if segaplaya will actually reply to the bios thing i pm'ed him about

So far no reply so I've still got that .fla sitting waiting

I acted too fast for my own good and finished a bios page :D

Bask in the glory of the bios page >3

And as promised the entire flash takes up just one frame on the main timeline [proved by the fact that when you right click there is no 'play' 'foward' 'backward' options]

Even if this doesn't get included in the collab it can be used for other collabs :)

You you should be able condense the bios page through many movieclips so that it only takes up one frame on the actual timeline

If you like you can send me a .fla of the bios page and i'll see if I can do it for you, or make the bios page myself

it's up to you :)

Here's a nice bit of drawing advice for you:

Try asking all of that in the actual Art forum, rather than the forum for Flash

You would think it was obvious if you were looking for pointers on art. . .

5:30 pm?

that'll mean You will be submitting this collab to NG at 1:30 pm Newgrounds time

and 11:30am - 12:30pm for the rest of America

Cant wait to see it finished ;)

Oh I should have said, remove only the square brackets [] not the curvy ones (), otherwise the code wont work

damn I hate how I keep forgetting small but rather important things in posts. . .

You can adjust sound volume in Flash istelf using a small bit of actionscripting, no need for downloading extra programs:

[SoundName] = new Sound (this)
[SoundName].attachSound("[SoundLinkageName]");
[SoundName].start(0,1);
[SoundName].setVolume(100);
    
_root.[SoundName].stop();

the first three lines is what you put in the keyframe where you want the sound to begin playing from, and the very last line is what you put in the keyframe to make the sound stop playing [you should only need that when you want to stop a looping sound from playing]

in the line [SoundName].start(0,1); the 'o' means how many seconds you want the sound to start playing in fom [so if it was 2 the sound would play exactly 2 seconds into thesound file]
the '1' means how many times you want it to loop, so for your voices just keep it at one, but for music have it at somehting like 99 then use the _root. line to stop the music

simply remove the brackets and replace what's in the brackets with the right names and paste into your movie, for the AS Linkage names simply right click the sound in the library, then select 'Linkage', check the box and then name it somehting, the name you give it in that window becomes the '[linkagename]' part.

as for the volume, set that 100 value to something higher to make your voice play louder, try 150 or even 200

that concludes my crash-crouse on AS for sound :3 feel free to ask questions

You must import those sounds to your library, [File > IMport > Import to Library]

After that create a new keyframe and drag your imported sound onto the stage

For music you do the same but I recommend you Stream the music unless you want it to loop [In which case set the sounds properties to Event]

To edit the properties of a sound select the soud in the timeline and the properties qwindow at the bottom of the screen should show what properties you can set for the sound

Hope this helps

Oh wait I'm sorry, I assumed when I said 404 it would cover "The system cannot find the path specified. " errors as well. I profusely apolagize for my extreme stupidy and hope you can forgive me.

next time, you shold check your solutions before posting them, just a suggestion ;-)

Since Adobe is being noobish and doesn't support the trials for it's past Flash version, anybody know ehere I can get the trial for Flash 8 Proffessional? Every single site that used to have it now only gets a 404 error. I'd download the CS4 but my computer is shitty and cant handle a program of that calibre.

No I am not talking about any pirated illegal hacks of the full software, just the legal trial shall be fine.

Can anybody help meh?

I has sprite movies to finish :(

if i can somehow get Flash to be undeleted on my comp i'm sure i can rustle up a part in time
and with a batting average of 4.22 on sprite movies who's gonna complain =D

While i am not interested in this you should read the rules b4 starting a Collab thread

You dont have a batting average of 3.5 or more since you have no submissions and you need to have at least one solo project flash that has 3.5 or higher

That and you have absolutely no details about the collab in yor post, nothing about what framerate the movie is to be at, the dimensions of the movie, the background colour, no start or ending date, wihch version of flash is the basic minimum required, need i go on?

Next time, read some rules before hitting "Post it! >"

who knows, you may learn something

Hi, i'm working on a turn-based battle system, and i'm wondering what the code would be to randomly generate a number within a specific range to take away from the boss health

heres what i've got so far:

Random_Atk = random(30);
Boss_HP = Boss_HP - Random_Atk;

but i'd like that 30 to be a random number between 20 and 30, can anybody help?
[i have the Random_Atk variable so that i can make a dynamic text box display what Hp was taken away when the play hits the boss, just in case you were wondering]
