If you already have flash start by doing some simple motion tweens, then make some moving characters with multiple parts and just keeping doing whatever until you get used to flash.

I put down a friend as uncredited author and it worked

Same thing is happening to me, I've been trying to submit for the last 12 hours >.>

Am I the only person who uses flash 3.0? I guess I'm out of luck.

Flash version 3? isn't that like at least 10 years old

But what I meant to say was:
I already have made basic flash games, I decided to make something new, like a fighting game, so I may adapt my AS2 skills.
I really want to understand what he is saying.

Character selection can be as just changing the graphics on different frames
much easier than coding a fighting game

i tend to disagree with pong as it requires physics

Yeah your right, it was a lot harder for me to make a pong game than some of my first platformers

This is amazing

When stating a condition involving a variable, how do I make it so action happens if such number is lower than AND greater than something. So like if the number is inbetween 5 and 10.
thanks

How much does the general newgrounds submitted flash expectation increase per year?
Say hypothetically I started what I think is a really good game but am so fricken bored of it I want to start another project, and again hypothetically last time I did this I didn't get the motivation to continue my idled project for nearly a year, how much do you think the same flash would decrease in its score if submitted a year later? ( hypothetically) lol.

I think swift 3d was one of them, but you really need adobe flash to do any real work.

Yeah I'm pretty sure lots of them use the mouse
I've never used the stylus with flash, but I'm not really an animator.

Man, everyone gets on my case about that one.
Spikes however set the boundaries for every level so I couldn't change it
next game >.>
thanks though

I am nearly finished this game I've been working of for almost the whole summer now off and on. I think it's my best work yet, and don't feel like submitting it until there are not bugs, so I wont have to update later etc

(just resize the window until it fits the game screen)

If there is a small detail you think I should add, tell me, but It's too far on for new big features.

Tell me what you think as well.

Thanks.

Oh and the save code all the levels is "1337" so you can test them without beating the game first.

That's pretty shitty bud, flash takes a long time to master.

I really can't remember, I've been reusing all the sound effects I've had for the past year and a half.

don't make the actual webpage in flash

I did the health thing with two of my platformers, I didn't like it.

Well I guess not, I always find my games way too easy and forget people playing them don't know how everything works.

What do ya think? Should I keep going? Any immediate suggestions?

hey holmses
I want on of my actionclips not to go to the exact _y location of another mc but like 25 pixels higher. How should I do this. I know it's pretty simple but heh I guess I just haven't needed anything like this before.
Peace

Seems pretty decent, a bit too simple to keep anyone entertained very long though.

Works for me, why though?

Like always, I've come back to the flash scene about 6 months after my last project and forget 60% of my flash knowledge.

Anyway, I see adobe has put out a new version of flash, could somebody with it please give me a little update here, are there much improvements? Is it worth updating from flash 8? I mean it's damn expensive if I'm not getting much out of it.

I've never trying to make money for my flashes, I enjoy making them, and I enjoy playing them after, seeing them as entertaining for others, but not really something worth any money, I probably couldn't make anything worth money.

so then, like what?

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) {
_root.guy.movespeed = _root.guy.movespeed*-1
}
}

How exactly do I do it?

What I want to do with a variable is change its positive negative. Like if it is 8, change it to -8 and if its -9 change it to 9.

What exactly I'm trying to do:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.guy)) {
_root.guy.movespeed = ( Shit I don't know)
}
}
I was thinking of like movespeed - (movespeed*2)
but that doesn't really work ^^;;

off and on for 2 years( more off).
