_rotation = 0;
_rotation = 180;

play around with it.

hand of zeus (u can change name):

user clicks the screen several times. Each time a user clicks a spot, it generates a lightning post thingie majigie. When a user clicks a second spot, a second lightning post is formed, and the first two form a lightning force between them. Then the third connects to the second, etc.

Once a user clicks on the initial post, and thus creating a complete polygon, the area generated inside the polygon will be where the damage is dealth.

This idea only makes sense if the user has some sort of 'mana' of some sort, so that the size of the polygon created is limited.

Here's something may help explain this idea:

click on the lightning poles, and notice how they create lightnings between themselves. It's different from what I described, but whatever.

whoa that's cool

how does it work?? How do you obtain these medals?

thanks a lot for this post, I really appreciate it. One question though:

is sizef2f a variable flash recognizes or is it something I have to define somewhere?

sorry for double post.

What you said may be the solution, I just want to make sure you understand my situation. What I want is:

a pre-preloader that loads the preloader scene (including the minigame). Then I want the real preloader to appear, with the minigame.

Is that possible with the way you suggested?

the 'export for actionscript' box has to be checked, right?

hi :)

I'm making a 'loading game' for a game of mine - a game that is playable by users while the main game loads. For this, I need to load the 'loading game' first, so I need to load only CERTAIN objects... how do i do this? How do I define which objects I want flash to load...? If it doesn't work like that, please tell me how I can make this loading game work.

Is there a code to erase everything in the output box?

There's a code in C / C#, so I'm assuming there's on in AS...

yes i have. That was rather useful, but I'd still like to talk this over with someone, if anyone would be willing to do that.

I realize not many people would want to do that. So here are some questions I have:

1) I got the impression that you publish your game, and willing sponsors 'bid' on your project. Do their terms vary? What might their terms include? When my game gets sponsored by a site, what does that mean? What exclusive rights do they have over the game?

2) Does the ad revenue the game gets, get split amongst me and the sponsor, or how does that work?

3) I realized some games such as gemcraft, were releasing 'demo' versions onto sites like newgrounds, and saying that you have to go to armor games (their sponsor) to play the full version. Is this included in the sponsor's terms? what exactly is that?

4) Not really my business, but i'd still like to know:
What are the sponsors getting off this deal? Are hits the only thing they get from sponsoring my game??

hello. I'm about to release a game for sponsorship, and I am completely new to sponsorship. I read a bit about it here and there, but I still don't feel I know all the details, and I don't want to gamble with my game. I was wondering if someone could explain to me in detail how sponsorship works, or direct me to some links.
Ideally, I'd like to talk to someone through messenger, so he may direct me. I won't bother you or anything like that in messenger, it'll be just you telling me how it works basically. And then afterward, as I progress through the stages, if I have any questions, I would be able to ask you. I hope someone will be willing to add my messenger. If so, please pm me.

I also heard something about deals other than sponsorship, and ads. I heard that protector got several outside deals or something like that??? Can someone please explain to me how those things work as well. Thank you.

when you make a movieclip (F8), select button instead of movieclip. Put some stuff on the first frame, then on the 2nd frame of your button, test the movie, and you should see by yourself what a button does.

vampire obama oh no!

anusboy is an awesome movie.

it's generally unwise to post demos. Unless it's a preview, don't post demos.

EXPLAIN how you want your gun to rotate / move. How are we supposed to know what you want?!?

hilarious.

The graphics were pretty cool, the atmosphere was decent. Overall, it's a good game, but I don't believe anyone will play it for more than 3-5 minutes. I realize you can't change the entire concept now that it's already finished, but just for future reference, try to make more interesting concepts than quickly hitting the b and n keys. It gets very repetitive and increases chance of arthritis XD.

I may not have understood you correctly, but what you need is a button. When you click F8 to make a movieclip, select button instead. When you edit the button, the second frame will appear once the user rolls over the button, and when he rolls out, it'll return to frame 1. In frame 1, have the text that you want, and in 2, change it.

definetely worthy

don't rely on tutorials. read them to learn how they work, and learn how to code. Then use that knowledge to make something of your own.

that's awesome, but the light source is fucked up in that.

the shapeflag hitTest (the form of hitTest(x,y,condition)) searches for a global point. meaning if you have two mc's within another mc, and you wish to check if the first mc contains the second mc's x and y values, you would have:

_root.bigmc.mc1.hitTest(_root.bigmc.mc2.
_x + _root.bigmc._x, _root.bigmc.mc2._y + _root.bigmc._y,true)

hope that helped.
