No, the resolution's fine, it's just my monitor enlarges the screen, and I don't have that kin of dough.

Well, I must admit that the new design looks sharp, but I'm having problems when viewing flash, thus making the new design more ueffecient than the last. My computer constantly enlarges the sceen so I have to scroll around trying to find the perfect place to view the flash, but, with the new desihgn with no new internet sceens, that is becoming imossible as it will not let the screen scroll. Anyone having this problem?

This'll probably be the most noobish thing you've ever heard, but doe anyone know any good free music looping programs, if I didn't phrase that right, a program to make loops?

It's basically like... the 'War Of The Worlds' that aired on radio in 19something or other. It's like a TV show just with only audio, which makes it a bit harder to explain what's hapening. If it's any help, Doctor Who is starting one staring Tom Baker.

I'm not quite sure what they're called, so I'm gonna call 'em audio adventures for now. I just wanted to ask, are we llowed to put any audio adventures in the Audio Portal, as they're becoming quite popular, and some may enjoy making and listening to them. I got a plan for one if we are allowed.

I'm gonna have to pull out, soz, but my flash is bodging... and I'm going on holiday so I can't get it fixed.

You got it, Matt2k7!

You've propably said it already, but do you need a good bateling average to join, 'cause this would be my first animation on NG so I don't have a batteling average, but if you don't need one, could I do the BMX part, I've got a pretty cool idea.

It doesn't matter if yo're an atheist or a christian, jew, or even muslim, noone leads a bad life unless they make it that way, it's not to do with religeon. It's about how people act, and right now your all acting like morons, fighting over what's right and wrong when you learn to accept, though everyone follows different roads of belief, they all lead to the same town of kindness, thoughtfullness and selflessness. (That was a pretty cool metaphor, if I do say so myself). What is the point in arguing. Everyone, or close enough, does the right thing 'cause there brought up that way, either by the bible's tellings or by parent's tellings. you're all being stupid by fighting over it, christians, is that what the bible tells you to do? Atheists, is that theproper thing to do? I know you're both trying to show the other 'the truth', but the onl truth is your truth. Guess which I am, atheist or christian.

It's scripted, so it's free.

Not your best work, so far I like 'Kick In The Head' for comedy and 'Magic' for the effects.

Hmmm, but finding on online one would be a spoiler now, wouldn't it? It was originally gonna be like a 320 page book but then I realized that would take me years.

I'd say V-Cam, it's a virtual camera used on flash, it literally works like a camera, the only downside is that when you zoom in the lines also go bigger, but you can move the v-cam left, right, up, down, rotate, zoom in, zoom out. You can build one by following the steps in 'The Big Fat Tutorial' in the final section.

Yeah, it does that with me as well.

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I want to do a flash based on a short story, a horror. So, I looked through my only short story book (conviniently a full of horror stories) and I read one called 'Light Moves'. There isn't much violence in, and it's in the third person so there isn't feelings I have to somehow show other than faces and expressions, adn I think I've got my mike working. The story is 24 little pages (don't know the technical term) long and there isn't any complicated effets I need to pull off. What do you think?

Excuse me for copy pasting my earlier post in another thread, but it works

First I recommend you download the program Audacity for audio editing. You also need a microphone, you can download it anywhere. Also, read these topics and you're good to go:
AS: Sound
Audacity Download
Audio Optimization

I recommend importing the sound to the library and using sound with actionscript.

Thanks, I've got a mike on my webcam with good quality, it's just some stupid programs that lessen the quality. Have you got a link to download Audacity?

One: I can't find a free, decent software to record any sound.
Two: I record it with the rubbish quality MSN Messenger and save it, I play it back, it's perfectly fine, and then it goes too high when imported!
Has anyone conquered this experience?

I was Thor:D Some of the gods on that were pretty unheard of, but I liked my description!

Yeah, it'll be more intreting, this is just like a story outline, kind of.

I've got a novel idea, and I think it's pretty good, but I would like your opinion before I start. My idea is basically, Hitler created this ultimait weapon before he commited suicide, and this weapon is a biological weapon that will put a disease into all the water supplies in England, and then commited suicide, telling only one grou of the Nazi's that it existed. These Nazi's swore to protect it, and forced their families, who forced their families and so on. Now, in 2007, This huge organization (the family) start commiting murders to a certain amount of people, and noone knows it's this group. Then one day, a christian mans jewish family goes to a barmitsvah but the barmitzmah get attacked and blown up and all who were their got killed. So the man goes into investagator mode and swears he'll find the people that did it. Also, the biological weapon is planned to go off soon.
So, what do you think, it's a bit jumbled, I know, but I'm gonna organize it a bit more and make the plot better.

Here's the rest:

Robert: Yeah, what’s the void?
Reaper: Nothing, nothing at all. It’s where any cursed dead go to avoid cursing any other beings. That’s why when ever I use my gun, I hit the side first.
Robert: Why would you hit the side of your gun?
Reaper: Right, you’re about twelve year old, you own a gun, et you know nout about them? God, I’m stuck with an idiot for the rest of eternity.
Robert: Just tell me.
Reaper: Kk, in the barrel of the gun, where the bullet travels down, there are grooves that speed up the bullet, a side effect is scratch marks on the side of the bullet. I was trained to be able to hit the side of my gun just right that the grooves cut a curse symbol on the bullet.
Robert: Trained by who?
Reaper: (Suddenly appearing secretive) doesn’t matter. (Looks at map) Come on, I know where to go to get to the airport, then we go to America and sneak into a counter terrorism building and access any government files. It’s our best bet to solving this. But we’ll need a vehicle.
Robert: You’re gonna get a car?
Reaper: The nearest airport is about 25 miles away, I ain’t walking! Follow me. (Starts walking down the road, Robert tags along, observing the Reaper)
Robert: Where are we going?
Reaper: (quickly replying) A car park.
Robert: O, lord, no.
(Reaper and Robert walk into dark car park)
Reaper: Okay, it’s a 24 hour car park and they don’t have lights? Idiots. (Looks up) (Shouting) Hey, High Dead, it’s me, The Reaper!
(Mysterious green light appears, looks like a gas swirling around something, lights up building) (Gas swirls down in front of Reaper whose head follows it down)
Reaper: (Shouting) I need a favour, could I use either a Dragon or a Honda? Preferarably a Dodge Viper?
Mysterious light: (A sinister voice) Why are you requesting this?
Reaper: Who doesn’t like dodge vipers?
Mysterious light: I meant why do you need these objects of quick transportation?
Reaper: ‘Cos I can’t be bothered to walk.
Mysterious light: (Angry) be serious! It’s typical of an amateur like you to mess about like this!
Reaper: Hey, shut up, when I get back up there I’d be able to send you to the void, A.S.A.P! And, I didn’t ask to do this, so pay me some respect! I need it to get to an airport 25 miles away.
Robert: To go to America and kill all zombies.
Mysterious light: That boy takes things seriously.
Reaper: What ever, I don’t care; now give me the damned Dodge Viper!
Mysterious light: It shall be done.
(Mysterious light turns into Honda, becomes dark again)
Reaper: Sweet!

Could I join, as a writer? I've got some of my first script done, it's my first though, please rate from 1 - 10.:

(On road on a long street, houses occasionally have broken windows)
(Reaper gets shot at, hit in shoulder)
Reaper: Ow, Dammit, when ever I get this friggen top cleaned, I get more blood on it!!!
(Gets shot in thigh, gives annoyed expression)
Reaper: Screw it.
(Runs towards Robert, who is only seen now. Fly kicks him in face, Robert falls back, but before he hits the floor Reaper runs round and grabs him by the neck.
Robert: What are you doing this for? (Tear roles down cheek)
Reaper: Okay… a wimpy, talking zombie… this is weird.
Robert: (angry) WHAT?! I AM NOT A GOD-DAMN ZOMBIE!!! You sh-
Reaper: Oh, right, a wimpy dead lad. I though you were a zombie
Robert: So you booted me in the head?!
Reaper: You shot me, TWISE. And you hit the badge, nobody disrespects the badge. (Eyes narrow towards Robert)
(Hoard of zombies groan and approach, walking down road)
Reaper: Ah, crud. Just when I was about to deadify him some more. Oh well. (Turns and looks at Robert) Wimpy dude, peg it, I‘ll cover you, hand me your gun.
Robert: I have a name, it’s Robert!
Reaper: I don’t give a f-
Robert: Catch!
Reaper: (Slightly catches with hand, but can’t get grip, fumbles about with it until gets grip) you’re a really bad thrower!
(Zombies moan, Reaper turns round, sees Zombies right in front of him.)
Reaper: Ah, nuts. Dude, keep the gun and shoot the afterlife out of those bad suggas.
(Throws gun at Roberts head, hits head, Reaper chuckles)
Robert: You’re a worse thrower than me!
Reaper: No, I was aiming at your head.
(Big fight scene, Reaper gets shot in head by accident)
Reaper: Argh you ba-
Robert: They’re dead.
Reaper: (Turns round, sees zombie corpses) Sweet. Now you’re going to travel to the wizard of Oz with me.
Robert: (Confused) Wa?
Reaper: We’re gonna go kill all the zombies in the world, come on, it’ll be fun. (Smiles enthusiastically)
Robert: How many zombies are there?
Reaper: (Scratches his head) Err…….. about half the human population plus half the human population.
Robert: (Thinks, then stops) Okay… NO, WAIT, THAT IS THE HUMAN POPULATION!!!!!
Reaper: I know, I just wanted to soften the blow.
(Robert looks at him suspiciously)
Reaper: (Sighs) Okay, I wanted a laugh.
Robert: I’m not killing 6 billion zombies!!!
Reaper: Fine, I’ll kill 4 billion; you kill the other 2 billion. You get the easy end of this.
Robert: Do I actually have a choice?
Reaper: No, now come on.
(Fades into black screen which fades into next scene)
(On top of tall Argos building, Reaper sitting comfortably, Robert sitting with crossed legs)
Reaper: Dude, you’re not in school.
Robert: (Puzzled) what do you mean?
Reaper: (Astonished) you always cross your legs?! Oh, dude, I got a lot of work to do with you.
Robert: What?
(Reaper sighs)
Reaper: One second. (Whistles loudly) (Werewolf dressed in rags jumps seemingly out of no where.) Heyaz, Tom. Hand me my sniper. (Werewolf takes parts of sniper out of pocket and fixes them together really fast.) Ta, Tommo, go getyour self a nice criminal meal from the local jail.
(Reaper lays down and prepares to sniper)
Robert: What are you waiting for?
Reaper: Some snitches told me that zombies are planning to zombie-fie this street. I’m gonna pick ‘em off.
Robert: Who told you?
Reaper: (Points at a zombie head in drain) you see that zombie head, that was the snitch. Emphasis on was. (Chuckles to himself) Anyway, with this sniper I won’t be able to kill all the zombies, I only have 1 bullet, but all I intend to do is kill one zombie. There’s always a distinctive leader, the tall one at the front, it just seems to work like that, makes my life a whole lot easier. (Distinctive stomping from up the road) And there is my prey.
(Starts aiming sniper towards Zombie hoard, turns into sniper view, all zombies look at reaper, back out of sniper view)
Reaper: I think they noticed me.
Robert: Why?
(Gunshot)
Reaper: ‘Cos when these were living they were in the army, they had and have guns. Oh, by the way, do you like the color red?
Robert: Why?
Reaper: Cos your shirt’s gonna be red soon, also, there’s a hole in your head.
(Looks back through sniper scope, switches back to sniper view. Searches around to find zombie hoard again, finds)
Reaper: (Preparing to fire) Aaaaaaaaand fi-, (Scope shot cracked scope view) crud. Well, better try anyway. (Shoots sniper, misses. Back out of Sniper view) Robert, do you watch the Olympics?
Robert: No.
Reaper: Ohhh, I was hoping you would see which javelin thrower I was about to copy. Oh well. (Stand up and holds sniper like a javelin and hurls down at zombies. (Camera following javelin) (Javelin slices head zombie in the head, pause, and then head falls off)
Reaper: (Smiles to himself) that was cool, (turns to Robert) right?
Robert: (Suddenly blurting out) THIS IS POINTLESS!!! WE HAVE SUCCESFULLY KNOCKED OFF ONE ZOMBIE FROM 6 BILLION!!! WE NEED SOMETHING BIG, TO KILL THEM ALL!!!
Reaper: Okay, stress-head. Let me lay down some info. Unlike most undead creatures, zombies aren’t in a network of power, they are individual. No killing the ultimate one of them to kill them all, no stupid power orb like with ghosts. That’s why I’m doomed for eternity to kill them all, one by one.
Robert: Do the government know about the zombies and all the other undead creatures.
Reaper: Duh, cameras allover the place, unnatural deaths, hard for them not to realize. Once they realize, they study, out of curiosity. But curiosity killed the cat.
Robert: You seem curious about everything.
Reaper: Yeah, but I ain’t a cat, more of an undead child born in hell by the first two humans on the face of the universe.
Robert: Adam and Eve?
Reaper: Well, obviously.
Robert: Okay, sarcastic, the plan is, we break into government files, get what we need, see what we can do. (Dramatic pause)
Reaper: Was that ‘sarcastic’ thing supposed to be name calling?
(Robert sighs)
Robert: Okay, all your idiocy aside, we need a map.
Reaper: I can get you a map, one second.
(Front flips of building, camera stays on Robert who rolls eyes)
Robert: He is so lucky he’s already dead.
(Camera switches back to Reaper, who is now on the roadside looking for a shop, walks past one that has been the victim of a riot)
Reaper: Oh, for the love of god, is there any shops that aren’t totally destroyed?
(Walks past shop that is on fire)
Reaper: Oh, screw it. (Runs towards door, about to dash in the burning shop) WAIT! What did Eve say?
(Thought bubble pops up with Eve talking)
Eve: When you’re in a burning building, stay as low as possible to avoid the smoke.
(Thought bubble pops)
Reaper: Oh no, I’m gonna look like a pansy. (Starts crawling in, about half-way through the building he sees surveillance camera)
Reaper: Oh, no way, the police… they’re gonna think I’m a pansy!!! Also a thief but I don’t care about that. (Stands up and brushes himself to get off any dirt)
(Walks to end of shop, picks up map, and walks to till, looking or some change in his pocket but can’t find any)
Reaper: Dammit, well, I’ll write a note saying I’ll come back with the money soon. Ah, screw it. (Walks out and looks at top) Oh…… I singed my top… again. (Car runs him over) Godforsaken dude who invented the car, if he were here, I’d send him to the void so fast –
Robert: What’s the void?
(Reaper looks down at him)
Reaper: How did you get here?
Robert: I jumped off the building.
Reaper: Yes, you’re starting to get the, what have I got to lose attitude! Whoo!

Yeah, it's a bit big so I'm posting the next part in a new post, sorry!

Yeah, anger hits people in different ways, and when I get angry I end up getting depressed, so I'm boned either way.

Why did you tell us the whole of you day... and why don't I care about it.

Are you asking us if you are in love? Cos if so, I'd say yeah, if you're willing to comfort her through out the night and keep her company AND you just have this weird feeling inside you, I think it's love.

I was just looking around NG and I saw loads of novels posted by the users in the forums, so I thought, hey, why not make a competition where loads of people write a short novel or a novel with the first part took out of it. So, if there's no rules tat can stop me doing this, I'd like to layy down some rules: Firstly, the main character MUST be out of a TV show or movie.
Secondly, the Maximum amount of characters is 12,000 characters.
Finally, if you want to enter, write your novel, put it on denvish (www.denvish.net/ul) and PM me the link.
Okay, the deadline will be October 1st 2007. There is no genre of novel you must use and there is no limit to what you put in, but bear in mind, any nudity must be appropriate. What will hapen is after the deadline I have all the links I will put them on a post, where people can post who they think i the best by writing the author and the title.
HAPPY WRITING!!!

Okay, I'm english before you sart rambling on about america being fine, 'cos I ain't saying it ain't. Anyway, we all know that women had to fight hard for equality a long while back, but I think the law has caved in too much and now men are being treated unfairly. A good example of this is secondary schools. Girls are allowed to die their hair, put streaks in and basically do anything to their hair, boys just have blond tips or streaks, they get sent home until it comes out. I think that soon males will be fighting for equality, and then we'll be back to square one where women are treated unfairly.
Opinions?

When you were talking about the N word, did you mean Nazis, 'cos you can use it. My mother is German, and I nor her gets offended by it, the word means the german army from world war 2, so you know, not offencive. I must admit, some people do use it offencively, but complaining about it won't help.

Everyone dissin religion, listen up:
I ain't religous, I'm an athiest, but stop being such a moron calling anyone who does have beleifs a moron. At least they've got something to pick themselves up when they're down, and religoun has brought many people together.

What the hell?! People are saying, that just because you have different skin colours, it's wrong to think she's hot? Hell, thats mental, there's nout wrong with it at all!
