what you could do is have a layer that is thesubtitles and if the viewer turns it off, the layer turns invisible

look at this link if you want the flash to be on newgrounds only

I already know about all that. I'm just having trouble with putting the adds into my flash.

oh, well, when you downloaded the adds file, did it come with instructions?
if not i can help you put it in there.

thanks everyone, my last three or four projects have failed because my lack of AS knowledge. I end up learning the AS while I am programming the game. Maybe its becuase I dont' know the order of what I should learn first and last.

your talking about a film right?
i can only script ;)

I just have a question about the oder of steps taken for making a flash game. Should the art be done first or some of the programming?

you could have the computer record the coordinents of the mouse when clicked on and then have the mc rotate around that point

i don't actually know any script for it, though.

well you could use the name object:
if(this.name==something){
//stuff
}
it checks if the mc you are using has an instance name of "something"

If you haven't already heard, the brand spanking new version of Flash has just came out! I don't know if they have changed the type of AS but it is supposed to be great!!
What do you think?

Here is a link to prove I am not lying:
http://tryit.adobe.com/us/cs4/family/?tr ackingid=DNOUB

so I have a number that is randomly generated. it is either 1 or 2. the varable is x. i have two movie clips
mc1 and mc2. I want to talk to the mcs so that random number x decides which one I want to talk to.
mc(x) so it would be mc1 or mc2. how do I write the mc(x) in AS?
please telll me if I need to clarify.

...if it is possible to define a varable of an mc on a frame instead of inside the mc.

It's not the concept of animating something that confuses me, I'm having problems just making it so that the next frame is different from the first. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to make it so that I don't just have one still picture in all my frames?

I'll definitely have more problems, and I'll post them here later.

BTW: I am not making games so I don't need help with ActionScript yet.

right click on the frame you want to make different and select insert keyframe. That tells flash that the frmae is different from the one before it.

goup the frame and when you press the space bar it gets bigger.

Like, could I make it play an .swf file from my site? If so, please help, because then I wouldn't have to worry about restricting the file size.

well if you have gmail you could email it to yourslf(has to be under 20mb) and then open it at school on their computers.
I'm not sure how big you swf file is.

well, i will only be able to work on the weekends because of school.

Come on?!?!?!??!?!

i'm pretty good at scripting.

please help!?!??!

so I want to create this function on one of the frames on the main timeline so I can distribute out the orders to a lot of mcs to save space. i don't know if i can distribut it. i'll give an example:
_root.hi=function(){
trace("hi")
}
how would I call the function hi inside of a movieclip in a different layer?
please tell me if this doesn't make sense.

like the idea but I am already in a madness animation(not official).
But isn't kind of a rip off of those two games?
anyways I'm a so so scripter and a so so animator

thanks, I guess the other mc that I tested on was too bright to see the pixels.

srry i messed up

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this.onRollOver = function() {
		gotoAndStop(1);//1 is an example of a number you can put in there.
	};
}

make the background movieclip and put this code into it:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
on(rollOver){
gotoAndStop(1)//1 is an example of a number you can put in there.
}
}

help! When I put a glow or blur filter on a movieclip inside a movie clip it gets all pixely. And for some reason its only this movieclip because I tried another one and it worked fine. If you need more info to figure out the problem please ask!

_root.prevFrame()
other wise the order is sent to the movie clip not the timeline.
