You can use the Newgrounds Preloaders if you want.

You can make custom ones too, just google it. Once you have it, press ctrl + enter to start the movie, or in this case "site", then press ctrl + enter to test out the loading sequence.

You can always look it up in the menu, if you hover over a tool, or a selection from the toolbar menu, in brackets will be the shortcut key.

Eg:
Insert New Keyframe (F6)
Hand tool (H)

etc.

Oh, well I suggest using:

http://media-convert.com/ or www.zamzar.com

They are both descent converting services, I use them all the time. The only problem is that Newgrounds might not accept a converted file, since some conversions screw up a few attributes...

Good luck.

For some reason the color gets cut off, I don't know exactly why.

I recommend you get Photoshop at some point, it is quite useful, especially when it comes to making icons.

If you send me the jpg I can convert it if you want.

@andy you can use CS4 as long as you can save CS3 format. You do not need to make a password box. If you can, make it obvious in the script where it says you beat the level or whatever, so I can add my script to unlock the password.

@archon Thanks, but I have already built a music player using the Audio Portal ^_^

There is a free 30 day trial.

You can not input text into a dynamic text box... you need to use an input text box.

Are you using the pen or ink tool at all? You can not use the paint bucket to color in lines, use the ink bucket.

Lmao.

The thread is dying, but not the Newgrounds Pass. The show will go on!

I have parts from a bunch of people, and I am sure more people will come sooner or later. I will be making a few levels, Nick might, Archon, I am sure you will make more? :)

I'll post updates in about a week or so.

Uhh... what?

Just download the Halloween FLA, copy the movieclip, and paste it on the first frame of your movie.

Should not have anything to do with Flash Player.

I personally would use the paintbrush. It gives a nice effect if you have around 30 - 50 smoothing on.

For some OUTSTANDING sword examples, take a look at these:

It's really up to you, and what you use the most.

on(rollOver){
    _root.gotoAndStop(218)
}

Make it easy...

You sir, are an idiot.

To be able to Front Page post, you must have [u]submitted[/u] an award and gotten an award on it. If you are co-authored, you will not get an award.

I'll get started on them soon enough.

Haha, congrats on that :P

As long as you pop in ever now and then.

I'd do it like this.

myFun = function();
    if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)) {
    player.gotoAndStop (2);
    player._x += 3;
    player._xscale = 100;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    myFun();
}

Or did you want the whole thing as 1 function?

That picture just made my day.

Congrats to all the winners!

Good news, I am almost finished programming the main engine. I just added a feature that should prevent people from hacking for the passwords. The level must be complete to be able to pass >:D

Im having a few toubles with Headshot777's part, since the var of "level" is used by the system, but I shall have it fixed soon.

The password appears right next to the text box where the password must be typed in

This makes inputting the password to get to the next level a somewhat menial task making it seem almost more logical just to make the level advance by itself without the need for a password.

I know the game is called pass and removing the password system would contradict the name but I think part of the success of the previous installments was making the password hidden or embedded in the level adding a second level of challenge to the game.

I cant beat that dam click after 10 seconds challenge

Lol Its a great Idea and all maybe even 5 seconds. 10 seconds just leaves to much room for error and its awfully frustrating. Although I do acknowledge the increasing leniency of the milliseconds allowed for error as I did eventually pass it I personally am really bad at keeping track at time so maybe its just me who as an irk with it.

Maybe you could include a beeping sound that beeps after 5 seconds for people who lose the challenge to many times.

Those are just my personal issues lol just ignore them if you want many of the submissions look really good Id give it a go myself but Ive only got one submission in the portal hence no BA.

It is not the final design. The passwords will not be near eachother, there will be a box which opens and closes to reveal the password on each level.

I always had problems with the clicking level, but I made it so you can click at 9 seconds or 10 or 11, so you have a good chance. It was programmed to increase the time when you can click when you lose, I might increase that to 500.

Thanks for your input. Don't worry, the layout will be WAY better, I made this layout in 1 minute, I'm just testing XD

Hey Guys! Test it out!
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/290909/7 8830_GameEngine.php

It's rough, this is NOT the design or layout, just something to work with.

You can skip the level with right-click > Forward, but only for this, soon I will add a penalty for right-clicking!

What do you guys think?

Update:

I am working on the game engine, and it seems to be working just fine. I will post a quick sketchy demo with a few levels in a few days :)

So I assume that you have a movieclip being dragged by the mouse?

Put this on the movie clip:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
     if(this.hitTest(_root.wall, true)){
             _parent.gotoAndStop(186)
     }
}

Depending on how it is set up, make sure shape flag is on.

It would also be easier to just make the walls a button, and use an on(rollOver) command.

Nice work on Windows Doors. Grats on the award.

Much better. A few bugs I would like you to fix up before I will accept it.

1) Once you reach the goal, the game ends and shows the password.

Good job :)

Yes. Some of the platforms also spawned above my head.

It's a good concept. When the player jumps, he should be able to go through platforms, and you should increase gravity, and jump power.

I like it though :D

What version of Flash are u using?

In the Library, click the New Folder button, and drag everything into there.
