It's in there somewhere.

Masking is where an object is the display 'window' for the object behind it. Only the part of the masked object which is in the maskers zone can be shown, all the rest will be hidden.
Example, if you masked a picture, and you masked it with a square on top of the picture, you would only see what the square is on top of.

It can.

it's aerosmith buddy...

but anyways, it's probably too late for a part yes?

Indeed, we also figured out the arrowsmith thing AGES ago... 1st page infact.

@GibsonR
It's actually s'pose to be in katakana, since it's a japanses tranlation of Quoc.

FINE. *Cries in a corner*
You wouldn't use this optimise option for everything. Abstract and experimental flash would most definitely use the 65 - 100 range. You'd think there'd be a reason that Flash actually has this 65 - 100 range when they also have a optimisation tool.
(Mind you, no proud artist {I didn't say animator} would use an optimisation tool for a still picture{Seeing IF the person didn't use or didn't want to use optimise})
eg:

Are you using scenes? Scenes are known to stuff up the sound syncing.

You can choose one of these options;
1. Put all of the sounds into a movieclip exactly like how they would be if they were on the main timeline and put it at the start of the movie.
2. Get a random noise (Or get Audacity to generate silence) that last for as long as your movie does, make the sound silent and set it to stream on a separate layer.

That's exactly what I was saying!
1. There are more gaps the higher you go.
2. For FBF purposes, you'd probably stick near 50 if you intend to colour them with a bucket.
3. If you want higher quality FBF, you'd go higher, not lower.
4. 0 has the most dodgy lines, hence the reason you'd use 100 for art.
5. 100 has the most gaps, hence you wouldn't use it for most 'normal' drawings.

And just to prove to you that you wouldn't do these things with each other, here's a damn diagram:

^ I was referencing another post you made earlier in another thread.

What the hell do you mean by 'again'?
AND TYPING IN CAPS MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A DOUCHE BAG, USE THE DAMN BOLD NEXT TIME.

Is it all one graphic? (By chance did you get a sprite sheet?)
Select it, hit Ctrl + B as many times as it takes to break it to base form (It should be less than 2).
Then go to Modify > Bitmap > Trace Bitmap.
After you click OK, click on the white part, then delete it.

Get the vCam here.

*Read the article to understand how it works.

Well you have to start somewhere don't you?

Google or Newgrounds Tut collection.

But because I'm sure you can't be bothered>
1. Create a shape, doesn't matter what it is.
2. Select the shape, hit F8, select button and name it whatever you want.
3. Click on (Select the - ) the button, hit F9 and an AS window should come up.
4. In the AS, put :
on(Release){
//what ever you want to be done, eg; play(); OR stop();
}

Done. That's the basics, there's advanced stuff also though.

You're more likely to get voices here. Post an audition thread, and be sure to read the rules first.

I'm pretty sure the startDrag goes like:
startDrag("instancename", true);

Hit F9 by itself.

The most tears could do is make 2 small dots on the ground, and since you're not even zoomed in that much, they should just fall to the ground, make maybe a small splash and then disappear.

You're supposed to make the circle, select all of it, then go to Modify > Convert to Symbol.

Who the HELL uses a Dell? ANYTHING is better than a Dell.

If it's 600 frames and 24mb, then that's a serious problem.
Have you tried saving it in another location? Sometimes that reminds flash that the file size has changed.

That isn't THAT small, my computer lags at those sizes and I'm running with a Duo Core as well... 'Cept that I have XP Pro, And I'm pretty sure that the 'requirements' for Flash are XP~

Have you tried Save + Compact?

You DO realise you bumped it 4 minutes after you made it?
You're only supposed to bump it if it's near the end of the viewable forum. Or hasn't had replies in like, hours if not days...

At least say what type of game you want, some people only know how to script one type of games in some cases...

I advise you to both clean out your library of unneeded MC's, buttons, graphics etc.
After that, get rid of all music/sounds that you REALLY don't need. You can import them after you finished and are ready to publish.
Doing that should reduce your size a quite a bit.
How big is your .fla file now?

I use 75 with a mouse. 50 is too jerky for my liking, you get all these random bulges you didn't even go near...

Here's what you should be using as a reference for whatever you're doing:
0 - No gaps, but it won't be as sharp as a higher rate. Draft or tracing drawings.
50 - Default, used for most plain drawings. OR satisfactory FBF.
75 - Smoother, use for high quality stuff, eg ; art, FBF.
100 - Art only, pretty much useless for anything else, there's too much gaps.

*Note; most settings from 50-100 give plenty of gaps

The more bigger the file gets, the more harder/longer it is for a computer to process it.
It's normal.

I don't see how any change in the colour, be it from green to grey, can change the fact that that bus is being driven by wheels that are oval.
Have you ever seen a vehicle with oval wheels?

Well... When it's on the stage, can you double click it and edit it?
Or.
Are you using any AS inside the movieclip?

I'm out of ideas.

Do what DarkMana said, but replace the 'button1' with the (It's either MCname, or instancename) and the '//dostuff' with - play(); or whatever you want.

Are you sure you're copying the whole movieclip (it should have a blue rectangle around it when selected) and not just the graphic inside? (the graphic will have white dots when selected.)

In AS3, you add the script for the buttons directly on the frame.
I don't remember how it goes though...
