i meant £200 which is about $350, sorry about that :p

i am willing to go higher if it's really worth it but how much better can one mic really be than another? :p

i honestly have *NO* idea what im looking for either so yeah... HALP PLOX!!!!1111

so i want to start making music video flash cartoon thingys...... but my microphone cost 37p from tesco and is complete wank. i have a massive budget so dont worry about that..... i guess try and keep it under $200 as it's only a mic but yeah.... what mic would people suggest for this kind of stuff?

charz!

You'd be insane to drive anywhere near Central London, especially if you're fresh from your test.

nah it's just i live about 3 hours from london so the plan would be to drive up nearby, take the train or whatever the rest of the way, then if i end up needing a place to stay i can venture back to my car and be a useless hobo sleeping in my car :P

i cant really get the train all the way there because i have no cash to get accomodation :(

....okay i do but im a tight bastard =p

Count me in as long as I pass my driving test =D

basically i have a load of links on a page, each opens a pop-up window with a diff swf file inside. everything works perfectly apart from in the header i have this:

toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status bar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=650,he ight=400,left = 0,top = 0

which means every pop-up window is 650x400 unless i create a whole new thing for every single pop-up window which is like 100 of them.... so is there a way that instead of specifying dimensions, they are automatically set to the dimensions of the swf file?

thanks :)

don't submit it yet. keep working until it's at LEAST a minute long.... then add a preloader, and it might even manage a 3/5 with decent music :p

What is it?

Needs a higher frame rate.

Aids is hilarious because if you have it... you are going to die. There is no way around it, you will die. People dying is hilarious.

okay i've given up on lightwindow, it's far too complecated for me :(

anyone know how the "view in pop-up" bit was done? that seems a lot easier :p

i recommend lightwindow because of how easy it is to implement content, the different amount of content you can include and how easy it is to install.

wow, thanks! absolutely perfect =D now just wait until i make a new thread asking for help with it :p

How is it done? I want to make a new website with videos on it that uses the same method where you click "view" and the screen fades and the swf will come up over the top of the page with a little "close[x]" button below it. I have no idea where to get started, what should I be using to do this?

If people can give me a few pointers in the right direction I can probably get what I need from google but I have no idea what I'm looking for yet :(

Cheers :)

How would you go about getting ads on your game/movie?

Ads are terrible. You can get them on NG if you go to the submit page and look for NG API at the bottom of the page... however you will be lucky to make a few $ out of this. The best way is to get sponsorship from FGL as you can get nice big sums of cash =D

*jealousy*

I average about $300/hour when working with flash and i LOVE it :p especially since the exchange rate is all weird i get lots of £ compared to what it usually is =D

<3 flash sponsorship!

Okay I still don't get it. I have loads of different MCs on-screen that appear at different times and makes noises... I also have never worked with sound control in flash so have NO idea what you just said means :p

Is there no simple way like _root.setVolume(0);? I mean I know that doesn't work but is there a way like it?

I'm guessing nobody can help... in which case what code can I put on a frame to completely mute a flash? After this frame more sounds will be appearing but I want them to be fully muted as well. Somebody said something about being able to set the volume to zero?

Please help kids!

Okay so I've found plenty of tutorials on how to make a flash volume slider that controls specific sounds within the flash... but how would I make one that controls every sound in my game? Just the whole flash volume control if you get what I mean. I've seen it done before in bubbleshooter. I'm using AS2.0 as well btw.

Thanks guys :)

I am making a new website in which I want it so that when you hover over a certain image, you get to see a larger version floating in front of everything else on the page. I have found a perfect example of what I want to happen here when you hover over the images.

Can anyone please point me to a tutorial showing exactly how to do this or tell me how? I haven't got the foggyest idea as all I know how to do is rollover images in html =\

ermmmmm... the page is just the latest messages and nothing else........ where is the actual site to signup/login to?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//what code would i put here so that if THIS mc has the coordinates 320,180 then this action happens:
_root.circle.death.play();
}

AS2.0, thanks =]

How is it done? Links to tutorials or tell me how please! =D

The thing is, I can always find little snippets of code and things I want online with ease, and the NG BBS means I can get help if something doesn't work. However I would not be able to actually write any AS myself, I have to copy/paste bits from my older games and edit it or use the NG BBS. I don't want to have to do that! =[

So my AS skills are very poor. I know the basics and I just use them to crazy extents to make games that look like they require some decent coding when they never do. I really want to buy a book and learn AS properly. Has anybody got any good suggestions for a book to learn from? At the oment I'm just looking at what I can find on ebay here but if anybody knows of an absolutely amazing book that they would reccomend more than midgets, cheetohs and porn, then please tell me!

Thanks kids! =]

then on frame 25 put check = false; and yeah.

The script still seems to carry on after frame 25. Any idea why?
