the collab, than you'll definitely be allowed in. Take your time though, I'm sure you can make it just as good, : probably better (:

thanks :D

Well, I wouldn't mind you joining -- but your work seems not really that great to be taking part in this collab. Would you mind sending over an example piece of Bitey? Because Brackenwood is an intense series, ya know.

yeah i know... you can watch my bitey short or i'll make a new one (of course better -.-)

w/e the deadline is not here yet so i won't start now and maybe do a part if i have time. is that okay?

if you want me to join, i'll take bitey.

i knew he'll get one! congrats!

oh jesus this seems to be dying!

and i don't always wanna bump this thread because it makes no sense if i always bump it but nothing goes on...

convert it into a MC and turn down the alpha (option below)

whoops sorry for the doublepost but i made a mistake:

attachMovie("whatever", "whatever-new", 1);

okay. this one is right. so what did i do here?

attachMovie - imported the movie to the stage.
"whatever" - the name you gave the MC to be exportable
"whatever-new" - you need to define a instance name for the MC
1 - the depth

easy. just say:

attachMovie ("whatever", 1);

that means that you import a movieclip from the library to the stage. BUT: you need to make the MC (movieclip) exportable for AS (actionscript).

how to? just right-click the symbol in the library and select linkage. then export for actionscript. then you need to name it (standard: the real MC name)

in this case i have a MC called "whatever".

so when you attach the movieclip to the stage it's coordinates will be 0, 0.

now you can set the coordinates as you want. i hope you know how this works.

the good thing on importing the MC to the stage: you can say:

whatever.removeMovieClip();

and it disappears! :D

got it?

you can also just simply use the keycodes. you can find them in the help option of flash. that means:

if (Key.isDown (65)){
// do whatever
}

That means if you press "a".

how nice. you don't know how to do it, right?

you need to make following: have a couple of MCs. their names in an array. have the other MC on the stage. now when you click the button, you delete the main MC (you'll need to import it via AS first) and then import a random MC from the array. that's it. what the codes are? take a look at this or this for the array information. you'll also need to take a look at some AS tutorials to learn how to: import and remove MCs. that's it. i think.

So here I go:

1: Somtimes when you play your flash movie... or maby just my movies, anyway, when you play it it tends to like freeze at some points for just like a half second, however this is really anoying... how do you prevent these things from happening?

that's why you need a preloader. the problem is: often big graphics appear on the screen or a very difficult or long script needs to do something and this is when flash starts having a problem. it has to calculate and sometimes it's gotta freeze a lil bit. with a preloader you can wait until the flashplayer has loaded the bites.

2: Can you stop specific sound?
I mean you you put in the stopallsounds action it does stop ALL sound, what if you just wanted to stop a specific sound, how can you do that?

yes you can but only if you have imported the sound via AS and not by adding it to the timeline.

3: Can you recommend any good recording program? =)

windows: snag it (not free) - but there is a free recording program. i don't know it's name yet but i'll PM you if i remember it.
mac: screen mimik (free) - i looked for a free screen recording program for mac because i don't have a windows... oh man i had to look for more than two weeks!

4: And last but not least, how can you make your flash movie as small as possible, I mean so that people wont be forced to sit down for 10 minutes while its loading.

yeah. you can compress your sound files (reduce quality or with a program without reducing quality that much) you can compress the pictures (reduce quality again). you could also use script for some movement sometimes. AS doesn't need that much space as animation.

And that's it for now... I hope I'll get some answers.

done. did it help?

Cya!

cya
