RE: Alcohol

so most flashers are alcoholics? Interesting...

these things happen, no need for alarm...or a thread in my opinion

I see you gave the sfb one. hopefully that'll speed up the another days and we'll get another soon. I think you should have given LF one. He needs to do some FBF in this lifetime.

Star Syndicate. Their leader was a pedo. Pleasant history, no?

Is witchcraft anything like starcraft or warcraft?

if so, then I want a copy

I like the first one, but the rest are just kinda douchey? :(

Generic. I do like their MySpace though. The background look phenominal

dood, i saw your collab on NGC, but it doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell on the NG BBS. I'd just throw it out and stop bumping it. just wait for NGC to open back up

you obviously screwed up the code somehow, because it works perfectly for me.

as for animating snow/rain/anything that falls randomly...

how fun with that. I don't really wanna animate 70 individual snowflakes. I don't have the time.

I got it figured out. all i had to do was put the effect in an MC and it works like absolute magic now. not to mention that it'll be super easy to put anywhere from now on. thanks for all the help though Coaly

and i forgot to say just put the code for removing the snowflakes on the last frame of the scene so it doesn't go over

thats what i meant. i just worded it strangely.

nah man, so far coaly has been the only one to help me with this problem.

and by the way, i still need help, so if anyone has any ideas, please post here

New topic: Swf decompiling

I'd say just download swfs and watch them frame by frame in your flash player. besides, a lot of flashers lock their swfs so you can't open them in fla for a REASON. plus, flash compresses files, so i don't know how they could go back

this code works! thanks so much. that problem's solved

your second problem is because that duplication code is only meant to run in that frame, and isnt being called on the second loop, so it wont work.

true, so put
load = function(){
//your code for duplication
}
...im not actually sure that'll work...so i dunno

load = function(){
for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}
}

I put in and uh, haha, it didn't work at all. anymore ideas or did I not edit it correctly?

At 12/12/06 10:07 PM, Norwegianbeast wrote: well your first problem could be solved by tweaking the frame rate and using a fade.

A: can't change the frame rate because it's for a colloab and these duplicated clips are superceding all other frames, so putting another layer ontop of it for a fade won't work. I don't know how to fade the duplicated movieclips either

Well for that statement it would need to be if(_currentframe == 1) but that wont help

for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}

See, here 50 movieclips are made, so when you move to the next scene they are still there. On the first frame of the next scene, put...

onEnterFrame = function(){
for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
removeMovieClip("snow"+k);
}
}

2 issues

the first one is that the snow still shows on screen for a very tiny bit when it changes to the second scene. I can't seem to cover it with another layer either so i could cover it with a fade

also, when the movie loops, the first frame seems to have the code working, but after that, like, only one flake will show up (I'm assuming it's the one that's being duplicated

how would i use that? I'm pretty terrible at AS

I got some code from http://www.kirupa.com for making a nice snowfall effect. it works, but it doesn't stop working when i switch scenes! I'm not sure what i should do. here's the code

on the first frame:

for (k=0; k<50; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.snow, "snow"+k, k);
}

one the movieclip being duplicated

onClipEvent (load) {
// specifies the size of the movie stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 600;
// variables that will modify the falling snow
i = 1+Math.random()*2;
k = -Math.PI+Math.random()*Math.PI;
// giving each snowflake unique characteristics
this._xscale = this._yscale=25+Math.random()*50;
this._alpha = 75+Math.random()*100;
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -10+Math.random()*movieHeight;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// putting it all together
rad += (k/180)*Math.PI;
this._x -= Math.cos(rad);
this._y += i;
if (this._y>=movieHeight) {
this._y = -5;
}
if ((this._x>=movieWidth) || (this._x<=0)) {
this._x = -10+Math.random()*movieWidth;
this._y = -5;
}
}

What's the most ghetto thing you've ever done with flash or cartoon making in general? You know, just like, really improvised ways of doing things that normally are done in another way that's A LOT more professional.

Me? I made my first cartoon using paint to make frames and making the animation with windows movie maker.

5 MB, 1 minute long movie anyone?

We got quite a bit of snow last week. probably like, 5 inches? I dunno, main point is, it's gone now... :( I talked a lot of hype about making a snowman, but I fail...

Didn't you see this picture?

Saw two of his flashes that were submitted today. Both were wildly poor. I don't know what his deal was. He didn't seem to have that much flash though. NG crews either way are primarily not good, except the originals. Clocks seemed to have curved their shitty submissions and have actually started to post good, funny flash
