thanks ill give that a try.

how can i get blurred images in flash? i've been trying with photoshop to make some blurred images (out of focus foreground crap) and when i want to import to flash it goes wrong.
do i use gif or something because then i loose the nice blur effect and the quality of the colors.
and using something like eps or other formats give me a strange popup menu i don't understand. and always end up with pictures having a white background i don't want.

some help please.

It has to say STATIC, not DYNAMIC or INPUT... For some ungodly reason, Flash will not render the alpha channels for text if its on either of those settings...

Hope that helped...

Ha ha ha yep.. i just had a look and low and behold.. just as you said.. now i do feel like a horse's petoot.
thanks for the help..

flash 6.0 and the stupid thing is it didn't do this before..

I don't know if anyone has had this problem with flash before but i'm stuck.
I can change the alpha settings to any graphic (symbol) i like but when i type some text and then make a symbol from it i can't.
it shows up nicely in the work area but when i test the damn thing it just shows up as full colored text.. (i want to make the text disapear, you know alpha tweening).
all the other stuff works perfectly but the text stays put.. can anyone help me with this cause this sucks bigtime.

try it and see.. you never know. good and soppy song though

or google, "flash tutorials".

this doesn't seem to work either..
recap,
i've got a photoshopped target,
made a movie clip,
inside movie clip made three invisible buttons (hit areas) giving 10,5,1 point(s)
the score thingy works:

on (press) {
_root.score = _root.score + 10;
}

but the tricky thing is how to make this skip the main screen to the next scene.
i have tried the codes above, which did nothing, or in some cases just started the same scene. and i used

on (release) {
if (_root.score==100) {
tellTarget ("_parent.") {gotoAndplay("scene 2", 1);}
}
}

and still nothing, now am i just stupid or does being inside a movieclip play havock with buttons and actionscript?

doesn't work either... do i link it to a button or do i just flop it in any old where?

eh is this linked to the button? it is going to be some sort of shooting gallery..
and i am not an actionscripting wizzard.

i have tried a different amount of stuff so far but nothing seems to happen.
i've got a movie clip, and a nice button placed within, and at the score of 600 i want the sucker to move to the second scene.
but every time i try something it just keeps adding up my score and i don't move on to the next scene.
what am i doing wrong and what do i need to put in to make it right? (same goes for the timer but i fixed that sort of by first going to the main timeline and then to the next scene.)
it would be great if someone out there could help me. cause i am at that precarious point where i am about to toss my cpu out of the window.

great thanks..
i'll have a look and see where it will go wrong from there! ;)

(or else back to the ole webcam...)

i would if i could... but .. damn what the flog is that?

How does one go about animating sprites?

i'm kinda stuck...

that's some kind of magic mushroom right?

hmmm ninja club.. doesn't look to special..
internet clubs usually don't.. just letters on a page telling people how cool they are..
and harassing other bbs members by posting shit about how cool their club is..
nope ..
dinnea care..

well, i'm not particularly against clocks but .. they make some crap and get high points.. jealous, yes, loss of dignity, no. I will not lower myself to voting shitty just because there is the word CLOCK in the title/author/toiletseat. keep it fair guys.. more fun for everyone and shit.
and remember, yir nivir alane with the voices in yir head.

-i just think you have some unresolved issues with your tube sock.. go and talk, and if it doesn't work out, there's always dr. Phill.

The noosebrothers second this notion.

wow... you can park an truck on that ass and still have room to turn.. that is one serious bad assed momma..

thnx
you just saved my cpu and my second floor window.

i used to be good at drawing with a mouse but now i got this newfangled optical wireless thing that decides were the cursor should go all by it's lonesome so i end up with a lot of squiggly lines that don't look like the drawing i intended.. HELL YEAH im gonna get me a tablet.

okay i know how to make things transparent in normal picture editors and photoshopthingies but it seems that flash doesn't quite work that way.. can someone please tell me how to make objects transparent before i chuck my cpu out of the window..?

and by swearing like that you give us noobs a bad name..

the stuntbum rules..
ow and it's "PaTHetic"
can't you just ask some friends to come and do some voices or something?

well you shouldn't skate if you can't skate.. eh .. yeah..

I can't .. and you won't see me skate to.. (unless your wearing nightvision goggles..)

believe me.. i've seen a few.. and those were no cult material to me..

spontanious bovine combustion perhaps?

what's up with those shitty movies that go like "i drew a stick banana and made it jerk off" that get scores 3 or over, while the guys (and galls) that try to make quality end up with 2 maybe 2.5 scores..
Me thinks that sucks. do they cheat or something or are some peoples' artistic tastes hugely different from mine?
your views, please.

cats .. definitly cats.. i am a cat person..
