Like, on the first frame of the object, was a button, to open up that demo menu.

You can either put the button on frame 1 of that mc and shift the other frames over:
sample2 fla
sample2 swf

Or you could have the button on frame 1 on the main timeline and have that jump to frame 2 where the rest would be.

sample3 fla
sample3 swf

Just depends on how you want to have it set up and/or what best fits with your trying to do. (aka what's easiest for you).

Stamper sure does a great marky mark impression! ...shouldn't it be called circle and squared though?!!

Hi Stamper <3

We can't do that if we don't see the topics. If you, or anyone, come across something that needs to be addressed, for fuck sake, contact someone.

Wow, saw that coming a mile away! Way to clear yourself of any accountability.

This one time, I was at a public pool and I saw this kid drowning... a few minutes later, when they were pulling his dead body from the water, someone said to me "if you saw him struggling why didn't you get help?" and I was like "it's not my job to take care of these people, I'm not a lifeguard."

As far as I know, none of the mods (or non-mods for that matter) have had any formal training on how to deal with suicidal individuals, but we do take it VERY seriously. This is why we lock or delete threads as soon as possible (to prevent those types of comments) and link them to places where they can get professional help. We can't do that if we don't see the topics. If you, or anyone, come across something that needs to be addressed, for fuck sake, contact someone. Just because you're not a mod or a lifeguard ...or a cop or a paramedic or a teacher... doesn't excuse you from taking action or make you less liable for your inaction's.

Are you saying you notified a mod about it and nothing was done?

Either use a scanner or a camera. There's some helpful info on this art101 news post.

The ones I remember....

Luis - In one we were roommates and he was mad 'cuz I left my slippers in the living room. Another was at a meet. He was sitting on the floor playing some type of board game with my sister.

BoMToons - he tried to murder me (by strangulation/drowning) lol

MindChamber - I don't recall specific details, just the feeling afterwords when I woke up... but in one he was mad at me (lol) I was crying and scared :'( ...and another one was ...um, sexual! :P

There's an entire forum for people looking to collaborate! Sift through the currently running projects to see if any interest you and join in. Also check out the List of ppl Looking to Collaborate! thread and the Collaboration "Idea" Lounge.

You can't put code on buttons with AS3. So make sure your file is set to use AS2.

File > Publish Settings > Flash Tab > Script: AsctionScript 2.0

Remove the code ON the container mc and put it all on the objects inside of it.

sample swf
sample fla (cs4)

Give the container mc an instance name (aka square), then target it with _root.instance_name (aka main_timeline.your_mc). Hopefully that makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll try to explain it better.

Your best bet would be to pm PsychoGoldfish. If he can't answer your questions, no one can!

You managed to send it to me just fine... or was that a different picture? ;)

Sample file

If it's AS2:

Use frame labels. Make a new keyframe. In the properties panel, give it a name (ie main or goHere - no spaces). Then select your button and add the code to it (actions panel).

on(release){
_root.gotoAndStop("goHere");
}

If it's AS3:

Can't help you, sorry! :P lol

Did you change your General Preferences? Do you have 'Use precise cursors' checked?

I went to outline and my picture disappeared.

You have to click 'Expand' and it will give you the vector lines.

You should still be able to see the lines from the brush in preview mode though. So, not sure what's up.

Do you have a color selected when you try to use the brush? After live trace, the fill seems to default to none and the stroke changes to whatever your fill was. So if it was white, you'd be 'painting' with white.

Try going to View > Outline (Command+Y on a mac) ...can you see the painted lines in preview mode? If so, than it's your colors. If not... you'll have to describe what's happening (the actual steps you're taking) in a bit more detail.

That was already in the plans... thanks for ruining it.

You can only save one version back. So CS5 can only save to CS4. CS4 to CS3. CS3 to 8. Someone hosting a collab should at least have flash CS4 at this point, me thinks.

Why don't you evolve it into something else then! That's the whole idea of the thread :P

His name is Tyrone. He has a dog.

That's a whole lot of text! You might get a nibble or two here, but, you probably should have posted this in the audio forum.

This makes me doubt you know what you're talking about and probably shouldn't be hosting a collab. The player compatibility doesn't change the version of the fla! ...at least not the last time I checked.

There are also several threads in clubs & crews for things like signatures or user page images. Some are listed on this Art101 page.

Probably because it's in the rules under general conduct: Give your topic a good title.
Why don't you take a few minutes and read ALL of them ;)

It was removed. As much as I'd like to see the fp covered, art portal rules still apply. The flood is about quality and effort... not spam! :P

Definitely some quality stuff this time!! Great job to everyone! :D I hope to get around toreviewing them all over the weekend!!

I dunno who is nerdier... you for saying that, or me for laughing at it! :P

You need a microphone and some sort of recording software. A lot of people use Audacity (it's free). Save the file as a wav or mp3, and import that into Flash (File > Import to Library). Then you can put it directly in/on the timeline by selecting in from the drop down menu in the properties panel, or you can use actionscript to control it.

Did that answer your question or do you need more specific info?
