Not necessarily redrawn but saved as different file formats like gif or png. No you can't translate action script to C# but you can still go through and look at your programing and get the idea of how you can code it in C#.

I can't explain how they would do it in C# cause I'm still learning. You could however see what I mean and get C# or check some youtube videos or something.

Response to: Drawing Tablet... Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

Well wacoms are great don't be fooled by the price and size. You don't need a giant tablet to draw good.
Now their are the big ass wacoms that I would love to have but cost a little over my budget, but i can handle my 50 dollar wacom.

You can get a fairly decent sized wacom from amazon or ebay for a far cheaper price, and you don't even need them to send you the disk to install it, you can download the installers and drivers from wacom.
I just think it would benefit you if you were to grab a nice decent tablet that doesn't cost to much but doesn't skimp on the quality of pen detection.

Well I was guessing more along the lines they drew all the different things as gifs or something like some of the guys down at xna and programed them separately.

Response to: I really need a sprite animator Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

20-30 mins? My god you must be a pro. Look your not going to do one 20 -30 mins maybe seconds...

go get a trial of flash cs3 or go get a trial copy of flash8.
now their is that windanimator i was talking about and it is free. Also don't put so many pictures.

Response to: flash box 360? Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

No, from what the XNA creators club has shown me and taught me about xbox arcade he used C# to do it. The thing about C# is you cant import flash into it at all.

Response to: Make a game with LiveSwif Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

if flash doesn't work adobe has that remove program you download so you can re download trials of cs3 again.

Response to: Drawing Tablet... Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

Crap double post.

Also the more pressure layers you have the better you will be able to apply line thickness.

Also though you can dis able the pressure so it draws the thickness you select.

Response to: Drawing Tablet... Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

While wacoms are good I can assume that their are probably some tablets out their that are near as good in quality and prob cheaper in price. I got my wacom from ebay so I would suggest go their first.

Response to: I really need a sprite animator Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

Look just go to google and type in windanimator. It's really easy to use.

Response to: I really need a sprite animator Posted August 2nd, 2008 in Game Development

just to make and edit sprites.... try windanimator. I got it from the nice guys down at the XNA creators club.

if (Key.isDown(Key.61)){ gotoAndStop(3);}

This is what it is. I have Key.61 not 81. I know about the stop I just used denvishes one because mine was working but i thought i had an error.

key.Down help. Posted June 10th, 2008 in Game Development

Ok I am working on just making my character move around and do some attacks before I get more into the code, and first everything seemed to be working but when I started trying to use the qwe asd keys it wouldn't work so I took denvishes moving and put that into play and it worked out the same for everything else, except for when i try the letter keys. Here I know that something simple is their and I would just appreciate real quick help with what I'm doing wrong.

onClipEvent(load){
speed=10; stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){_x+=speed; gotoAndStop(2);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.61)){ gotoAndStop(3);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){gotoAndStop(4);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){ gotoAndStop(5);}
}

I just put in one key number but i forgot if their is a different way to putin number key codes in.


I'm helping create A game, and was wondering if anyone has any tips on making a character select screen using a keyboard. I can make one with the mouse, but have never made one that requires a key press to select anything. Any kind of help or tricks would be grateful.

trouble with a button. Posted June 6th, 2008 in Game Development

I must be having a brain leak or something but I forgot how to fix this.

I have a button, just a normal start button, when you scroll over it it's supposed to bring up a movieclip of an 50% alpha square over it to show it's highlighted...but when you scroll over it, it rapidly blinks over and over. I have just the normal button on the UP, I have the shaded part on the OVER, and DOWN, and HIT.

Thank.

I need a slap in the face now.

thanks that works great. I think i can get used to the time it takes though since i'm not working on anything big right now but now that I know i'll be able to work better. Thanks.

Response to: Flash 8 MC problems in vista. Posted May 11th, 2008 in Game Development

It still does that stupid spiral. I un-installed it and re-installed it now the spiral goes faster though. I was hopping my new computer wouldn't have vista on it....but i'm not that lucky.


When ever I try to edit in place a movie clip this really long dragged out spiraling dashed box spirals out for about 2 or 3 minutes, taking up my whole screen before it allows me to edit a movie clip.

Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
