Enjoy!

Yeah, I just tried to use swivel and it sliced up a lot of my scenes. Any fixes to this yet?

I am on a mac and I want to upload a video I made on flash to youtube. If i export with quicktime it gets choppy and low resolution, so i export as SWF but youtube doesn't accept that file type, so does anyone know a good converter application I could use?

thanks! :D

I want to convert my Swf file to an AVI file or something so I can put it on youtube. I am on a mac and I don't want to use quicktime.

I started with stop(); on frame 1. Now I am trying to get it to go to frame 2 when they click the button called aPlay. how do I do this?

Also, I need to figure out how to do a replay button but I am sure if I can figure out this first one, I will be able to do it.

I started with

stop();

on frame 1. How do I code a button in AS3 that makes it go to frame 2 after the stop command?

Lets say I wanted to put ads in my animation but I have not yet filled out an application. Would I be able to activate them upon acceptance? And also, how long does it take for an application to be reviewed and how do you know if you have been accepted?

I read somewhere that you had to fill out an application and get accepted before you could start using them. Lets say I wanted to put ads in my animation but I have not yet filled out an application.

That's not a shape tween, that's a regular tween of the alpha property

Oh okay, that makes sense. Thank you!

This is a crude way to do a dissolve. For better results, set the blending mode of the first background to Layer, this will make it fade evenly if the tweened background has several overlapping layers inside it.

I am definitely going to try this, as this sounds like it should work. It makes a lot more sense than any of the shape tweens I have found and tried. Thanks!

crazy complex images always look bad with shape tweens

Then how do you suppose I do this. Im trying to get one complex image to fade into another. The best example I have is the Pokemon: Evolution video on the front page where the species fades into the next species whenever it evolves:

The difference between this and what Im trying to do however is I'm trying to make a background fade into the next background on queue.

To clarify, I want the first background to turn into the other background, sort of like a shape tween.

Does newgrounds feature movies based on how good it is or through different methods? Lets say I have never made an animation before but I make a super awesome one now, is there any possibility of it being featured?

How does newgrounds select what flash animations to feature on the home page and what not.

Themes?
What?

For flash submissions. I was told that there were certain themes for certain weeks (or months?) for flash animators.

Just curious where to find the current theme. I am thinking also wondering what the point of the themes are in general. Thank you

Okay, thanks!

To clarify, I am talking about shapes/people/objects outlines moving around while they are still. It makes the cartoon look more vivid.

I finished my movie and it has been coded completely in Action Script 2, because I couldn't figure out AS3. When I uploaded it and previewed it, it played the movie without the loader/play button and with out the replay and stop action. Is there something I am supposed to do to get AS2 to work in the preview mode, or Newgrounds in general?

I submitted the file as a .swf if that means anything.

Ps. I submitted the file as a .swf if that means anything.

Okay, thats great. Thanks!

Okay, thanks! I got a replay button to work by switching my settings to action scrip 2, so now I just need to put in a tank loader and a play button. To put in the tank loader thingy, do I just put it in like the first frame with a stop action, or does newgrounds take care of that for me? I haven't fully grasped the concept of how the loading thing actually works yet.

I'll try. Is there a direct way to export as a flv in flash?

I am done with my animation, and I have the .fla ready for newgrounds, but as far as youtube is concerned, I was wondering the best way to export my file without decreasing the quality significantly. I tried .mov, and it makes the animation more pixelated and a lesser quality. Is there a better file format that youtube supports that holds the majority of the quality from the .fla? I tried .swf but youtube wouldn't accept it. Thanks!
