I think people should suck it up, it takes all but 2-3 minutes to change a few letters, export and email.

WoogiWorld is an awesome website, don't get caught in the fact that you'd be programming kids games. The site is really unique in that it has the potential to do a lot of really fun projects that wouldn't necessarily be possible in the usual Flash grind, so don't dismiss it for it's younger audience. Yeah, you're not programming run-n-gun games but I think the opportunity to do games that benefit as well as entertain is awesome.

Happy Fourth of July!
Today over 2 centuries ago we shrugged off the oppression of the terrible British monarchy and had some French people assist us in winning the war so yay for French people and us today!

2001 I started nudging it, 2002 is when I really got into using Flash. 2004/2005 I went from animation to games, and in 2006 it became more or less my job as well. The end!

It takes 48-72 hours for all the domain servers to resolve to the proper IP when switching domains. Had the same issues when switching over other sites.

Canadia day? Is that where you guys celebrate hockey and meese?

TooF
TooF is Back, drama starting in 3... 2... 1...

Wall-E
Wall-E was really good... very different from many of the other Pixar movies. Still keeps up the Pixar quality and storytelling but definitely chose a "grown-up" message and plot. I loved it, keeps me guessing at Pixar. Would highly reccomend A+++++++++++++ would buy again, great Ebay user.

Per the forum rules, you need to meet a few more of the requirements. Thanks.

Just imagine what it would have been like if the BA rules were still at 3.0!

How would one go around purchasing all good domain names? :3.
If it happens, theres going to be such a rush to register all the good ones and sell them for 500000000000% profit.

Starting price is over $100k for top level domains. The cost to run this convention and meeting of 70 countries was extrodinary for a non-profit company such as ICANN to put together, so they are going to be pricing high. Money will be the largest filter of cybersquatting.

Also, they will enable a dispute system so that cybersquatters do not necessarily get the domain if they purchase it. Factors such as trademark become important in settling the dispute. If several buyers cannot reach agreement or settlement it then becomes an bidding war.

So, uh, the internet just got interesting.

Your master diver trumps my open water.

I'm going there to scuba dive, but I have about 40 hours worth of flying, plus 10 of layovers, so I'm kind of screwed for the next few days, along with the time difference.

Remember... leave 24 hours between your last dive and the plane. Check your secondary and always dive with a buddy :). Have fun on the reef!

Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams. Preachy but helpful.

FYI Luis has launched the Sketchbook Collab and decidedly made it so that the first 100 askers get to participate meaning if you decided to spend time with your dying grandmother tonight you'll totally get your spot taken up by SonicMario2344. Better sign up quick.

Jiggmin's platform racing was really popular recently, yes?

I agree, the only real thing I dislike about deviantart is the audience at times. I think people choose to not respond if they have something negative to say instead of just saying it because they worry about hurting feelings.

I went to Universal Studios when I was 7 and went on the backlot tour. The backlot tour takes you through scenes of movies and two of the scenes were King Kong and Volcano. These tour scenes were so scary to me that I started screaming so loud they had to stop the ride and let me off.

I had nightmares for three years with King Kong and Volcano being the center of each dream. My parents worried that I had some permanent psychological damage from the ride and that I was going to need medical help. Thankfully the dreams stopped after a while, but man I had reoccuring nightmares for years over those two movie sets.

This thread seems like it needs to be let go :).

Actually there is such a thing as "autohigh".

And a thing called "BEST"

I'm tired of people talking about nationalities/football, surely there is another topic.

Clever. Hope to see the final product!

This thread doesn't make sense. IF you are starting a collab please make a thread that details info. If you accidently hit "new thread" instead of "post reply" to another thread then start again.

Go Lakers!

NG Success
NG is a good barometer, but like any site it's a specific audience. If you compare gaming on different sites things change dramatically. For example Newgrounds tends to be more receptive towards violent genres (shooters, zombie killing, etc) while Kongregate leans towards casual/strategy/rpg (Tower Defense, etc).

Fonts, especially decorative, have to render on the screen. This makes it hard on the Flash player.

There are a few ways to eliminate this problem:

1) Click your text and set it to "Anti-Alias for animation" in the Properties panel. This will degrade the quality of aliasing (you know, the semi-transparent pixels that smooth the edges of fonts?), and will make the fonts happier. Or you can set the Aliasing settings to as low as you want, just keep playing with different options.

2) Break your text. Sometimes (okay, rarely) Flash runs text faster if it gets broken down into vector. Ctrl-B your fonts a couple times and see if vectorizing them helps.

3) Use a simpler font, or less of it at a time. Yeah, it sucks, but Flash is not that powerful, and moving complex fonts around hurts its head sometimes.

4) Convert to bitmaps. Convert into png-24 files in Photoshop then move the text over, see how that treats you. Bitmaps are to eating a big piece of steak as fonts/vectors are to eating sushi... a lot more filesize but a lot easier to get in your mouth.

What a troll.

I believe 3.3 or 3.2 or whatever they are calling it is merely an extension of their software branches to include Adobe Acrobat 10, which just released.

I guess you could download CS3 here.

It's against licensing terms and Adobe protocol to allow 3rd-party sites to distribute the trial version of the program.

Just Trying to be Nice

Today I was walking through my neighborhood when I noticed that someone's screen fell off their window from the third story and was now sitting in the middle of the road. I went up to the front door to tell my neighbor. Some woman answers.

"Hey, your screen is in..."

"YES WE KNOW."

"Okay, well I was just going to tell you, I just didn't want it to get run over."

So I start walking over to pick it up so I can move it to the side of the road for them.

"DONT PICK IT UP! DONT MOVE IT!"

Now the husband wonders what's going on, so he comes over and starts telling me not to pick it up as well. So I have two people yelling at me not to move it or pick it up.

"Okay, I was just worried."

So I walk off, screen still in the road and just yelled at. I guess that's what I get for trying to help.
