You're probably right. Seeing as water is short supply, being that about 2/3 of out planet is covered in water.

I heard we'll all live underwater.

Well apart from the Art & Lit portals NG is switching to widescreen soon*, which will fuck me right over.

17 days.

That's a definitive answer. There's no other criteria to consider (such as natural ability, intelligence, what you're actually learning, how you define "learned" and "decent" etc). An hour day will see you mastering Flash in 17 days.

Contact Adobe with your purchase information and they should be able to resend you the information needed to reactivate your product.

AFAIK, no they haven't. As good as Flash is, there's still a lot of bugs and things not working as you'd expect. You could always code back to coding in the timeline rather than coding in external .as files. One thing I've learned about Flash is that there's no right or wrong way to work; as long it all compiles and it does what you you want it to do, you've done it right!

You need a variable to detect whether the button is pressed or not.

var buttonOneDown:Boolean = true;
var buttonTwoDown:Boolean = false;

buttonOne.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, oneClicked);
buttonTwo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, twoClicked);

function oneClicked (e:MouseEvent):void{
if(!buttonOneDown){
buttonOne.gotoAndStop("Down");
buttonTwo.gotoAndStop("Up");
buttonTwoDown = false;
buttonOneDown = true;
}
}

functiontwoClicked (e:MouseEvent):void{
if(!buttonTwoeDown){
buttoTwo.gotoAndStop("Down");
buttonOne.gotoAndStop("Up");
buttonOneDown = false;
buttonTwoDown = true;
}
}

Code is AS3, untested but should work. If you're working in AS2 should be fairly straight forward to convert.

How long is a piece of string?

The hours you spend per day learning, the quicker you'll pick it up... Also, Adobe Flash CS4 is the newest and best version.

What by being buried?

And if nuclear weapons don't pollute

I didn't say they didn't, you implied they didn't be saying that instead of polluting nuclear weapons we should have nuclear power plants.

Also, I'm well aware of the atrocities committed in Japan (I linked to an article about Hiroshima in my first post). My point is that since the end of WWII and all during the Cold War nuclear missiles have used as a deterrent, rather than as an actual weapon, therefore they don't actually pollute.

I'm about to go postal :D

When you assign classes/linkages uncheck the box that says "export in first frame". Also, I guess your problem is that you're using coding from an external class file. Rather than having multiple frames assign everything to classes so you can add things dynamically:

playBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, clicked);

function clicked (e:MouseEvent):void{
stage.removeChild(PRELOADER);
stage.addChild(MENUSCREEN);
}

ETC.

Enlighten me then. Last time I checked "her" is a perfect example of a pronoun.

Also I have contributed (check my first post in the thread) and my contribution did not contradict itself:

Nuclear weapons pollute the environment by radiation.
The uranium and the other elements used can be put into making electricity.

Nuclear power plants produce waste, genius. Seeing as most nuclear waste is buried, making the surrounding land an infertile desert, it's hard to see why you disapprove nuclear weapons (which are mainly used a deterrent and therefore don't pollute) but approve nuclear power stations (which do pollute).

You can replace 'nuclear weapons' with some pronoun to maintain the suspense.

Do you ever wonder what sneaky damage her cause other than massive destruction?

Yep, replacing 'nuclear weapons' with the pronoun 'her' makes perfect sense.

We have RSS feeds for that exact purpose.

ALSO

All the PRELOADERS are available in AS3 format... All you need to do is swap out the graphics with the Pico Day ones. Instead you assume no one will use AS3. NG should be up to date and note two years behind...

You'll want to align this movie clip towards the bottom right of your workspace

WHA???????????

Bottom right? Surely you mean top left as that's (0,0). Symbols (i.e. MCs) should always be aligned to the top left, Tom. (0,0) is a constant, (stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight) is not.

Also the lack of AS3 preloader makes me sad. NG should do more to promote the latest version of AS.

This screengrab was taken before the redesign and is 100% accurate!

No, you're wrong.

If you can't spell grammar and you can't be bothered to hold down the shift key when pressing I then how can we take you seriously?

If you don't follow basic grammatical rules how do you ever hope to construct a coherent argument?
