I know that's used for Xbox Live Arcade games, and it's in C#.

What? Let's see
Gaming PC - $2000 will get you something great.
iMac - $1200
HDTV - eh, let's say $5000
PS3 - $350
Maybach - $8000000

That's only $8,008,550...
You have $1,000,000,000.

So you've spent about 0.8% of your money.

Divide that time by the framerate

I gave up working with scenes a LONG time ago, they're so unreliable.
Just do it all on one timeline with frame labels, no difference.

Alright, so I just done did

/attach irc.webchat.org

And that didn't seem to work. I'm using ChatZilla.
Is this an affect of being new to IRC,
or should this be working for me?

I just made a new document, AS3.
This code is on the timeline:

var traceThis:TraceIt = new TraceIt();

And this code is in a file called TraceIt.as
in the exact same directory as the FLA:

package{
	public class TraceIt{
		public function TraceIt(){
			trace("Hello World!");
		}
	}
}

And that traces "Hello World!"
Start over and try that I guess. Heh.

It's like porn for 11 year olds, really.

Oh, well if that's the case HTML is literally a piece of cake.
Do you know any AS2 at all? Yeah, actually knowing a little of that is
probably harder than HTML as a whole. Keep in mind I say knowing, though,
which means that you don't just have everything memorized.
I recommend buying a basic HTML book, or taking a basic HTML course.

Also your comments dont really say enough about whats wrong with the site... 'Its a little too much'? 'No effort went in' - well thats bollocks for starters... Ignore the text in the box for now, tell me wat you think of the size... Dotty border, buttons...

Well, alright I'll be a little more specific.
I'm really harsh on the fonts I use and whatnot, and as I said above
the fonts your using aren't exactly the nicest. Both of them I pretty much
dislike equally, a simple switch can make a huge difference.

Also, there's currently only a single shade of blue that
looks exactly like #0000FF,
and to me colors should never be that predictable.
Don't go color maniac or anything, but some variety
in there could definitely spice things up.

And also, the cheap uneven photoshop brushed out edges
just looks cheesy altogether, so some form of structured design
to the site can fix the haphazardness of the whole look.

Does that help a little more?
I hope it does. :)

Good choice, lol.

Yeah, I think it's all just a little too much.
Doesn't look like much effort went into it, sorry.
So that look of it could definitely use some work...

And I was just joking about the comic sans,
just take a look at the difference:

Do you ever set a value for so.data.tname?
Because if you don't, there's your problem.

At 11/6/09 02:53 PM, simonhason wrote: if(so.data.tname != undefined) {
_root.headshots = 0;
_root.kills = 0;

If so.data.tname is not undefined... set the textfields to 0?
That sounds like something you'd do if the SharedObject wasn't there yet,
but this code runs when it does find something for the SharedObject.
So I'm thinking you need to change that != to a ==.

Also, try tracing the SharedObjects and see what you get.
Because just because it doesn't show up in the textfield
doesn't mean it isn't there.

So this is the coolest thing ever,
what it does is it makes two different people
call each other and record their conversation.
You get one free call every day, so make it good guys.

It doesn't have to be two different people, though,
you can also pick out a recording and make them call that.

Here's the site,
and you get results like this.

Worth a shot? Yes?
Here's one my friend did, but I know
you guys can do a lot better than just that.
Call your friend, call somebody you don't like,
just remember to record it and post it here for us to listen.

Have fun. :)

I'm thinking you're just going to have to reinstall.
It doesn't seem like that bad of an option, honestly.
Especially if it's your only one.

Yep yep, local to global does it for you.
As you can see, k-guare slowly prepared a dandy little example while
knugen went and answered the question. :)

This code uses the same instance names as in yours, so
it's pretty much copy/pasteable. Not that I endorse that, though.

onEnterFrame = function() {
	square._rotation++;
}
onMouseDown = function() {
	var globalPoint:Object = {x:_xmouse, y:_ymouse};
	square.globalToLocal(globalPoint);
	square.point._x = globalPoint.x;
	square.point._y = globalPoint.y;
}

Sorry it took me so long,
localToGlobal in AS2 is a lot different than in AS3, had to figure it out. :/

Yeah, a mask could definitely do that.

but you might also look into actionscript classes that are out there that can export whats on stage as a jpg... or something similar.

Hmm, actionscript classes? Why not just File -> Export -> Export Image ?

It had nothing to do with that it was in AS2, you just need to use your brain.
When Health is 50, Health is not less than 50.

onEnterFrame = function(){
	if(Health == 50){
		MC.gotoAndStop(2)
	}
}

That's what you meant to put.
Greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to would also work.

if(Health<50){

That will not go to frame 2 if Health is 50.

I can guarantee you this:

Post code, or be more specific.

Say this game is finished...what are you going to do? Submit it?
Nobody likes an exact copy game.

I think he actually wants to run custom code
saved as a String that the user wrote.

I've never done it, but this little guide says you can do it with PHP.

Adobe does have a discounted price, about $250 for the student edition.
You can check that out at their Education Store.
Alternatives to Flash just aren't the best idea, Flash is pretty much
the best option there is, well well worth it.
I'd recommend saving up for it instead of just getting the cheaper version.

Calm down gents.

Oh, I remember when I first encountered this. ;)
The .FLA is the source file for the flash.
The one Newgrounds wants is the .SWF, and it is produced by the .FLA.
If somebody has the .swf of your movie, they can only look at it.
If somebody has the .fla, however, they can make changes to it and
do anything they want to it. So keep, and protect your FLA.

Go to File, then Publish.
The SWF should then be in the same folder as your movie.
