But yes I agree with the guy above me you shouldve just googled it..

You dont need "this" when your coding on the movieclip the variable applies too.

Trust me if i uploaded a demo of each of my 5 advanced engines than your flash would look horrible.

I'm intrigued, where are these advanced engines?

Thats true, of course there are viruses for Mac but obviously they haven't spread which is why I feel as though I don't need an anti-virus.

Also, I took my Macbook over to my friends house and he said: "I know one thing that can't do, right click!". I bet he felt all glum until I magically tapped the trackpad with TWO FINGERS.

For fuck sake

I was just reading up on a game because I wanted to get it for Mac - but it's not Mac native. A forum thread asking why it isn't turned into a flame war on Macs.

Oh macs, look at there price, they can't run games, Windows is the best. Most of the posters, obviously hasn't even tried any other OS apart from Windows.

They were complaining about the price of macs and adding all the components together and complaining that you pay like £450 on the OS, it fucking pisses me off. Now I've used Windows for 8 years now, a couple of Linux Distros for half a year and Mac for 8 months and each has there fucking pros and cons but apparently no one will take any of that into consideration. I haven't needed to use an anti virus yet on my Mac, but the firewalls there obviously whilst my Windows pc had Comodo Firewall and Anti Virus along with Spybot to protect it, now this doesn't bother me at all and it's a known fact window machines get more viruses purely because more people have them and soon the Mac community will have to get better protection for there computers so why does everyone have to flame the whole "Macs dont get viruses"? Yeah, they're are pretty dire but my Macbook is the greatest item i've invested in so far. It's a great laptop and the OS is superb.

I'm not trying to start a debate here I'm just mega pissed at the idiots who flame Mac.

Have fun

You will not be seeing a game from team ashkinscrip 3.0 sorry, got pretty busy with closure when it got into 2 conventions and some other business with it I shouldn't mention right now.

Power of Three seems pretty low at the moment, anyway. I was looking forward to your submission but more for Closure.

I get a twitter to my phone every now and again about a closure update, It's awesome.

Also you don't need to stick this in front of every variable - it's a waste of space. You only need it in AS2 if you're calling a function defined on some other timeline.

_x will still refer to the _x of the movieclip, whether or not this is in front of it or not. Same goes for every other variable.

Just wanted to make it a bit mroe understandable ;)
Response to: I don't have Flash anymore! Posted August 1st, 2009 in Game Development

At 8/1/09 11:13 AM, Chazz-Entertainment wrote: Just to let you know, Flash CS4 is actually pretty awful..

The entire layout has changed, making the programme 10 x harder to navigate if you're used to the old layout.

Tweening has also been murdered.. It's a real chore to do anything with it, you can't cut and paste sections of a tween anymore, and the motion guide layer is ALWAYS there, you can't get rid of it, it's a real pain.

My advice

No, you can change the layout to how you want. I've got it pretty much as close to the original Flash 8 as it can get. You can still do classic tweens if you wish but the new motion tween editor gives alot of potential to flash developers.


Stick to Flash 8 or CS3, I currently use 8 and probably won't update for a good long while.

It's a nice first attempt, it's all about getting the shape of the mouth right. Look at your self in the mirror and do each syllable slowly until you know what it looks like.

Don't move the mouth around the face, keep it in a fixed spot until your confident where to move it to create more emotion to the character.

Response to: Gimme Feedback! The dregs of war Posted August 1st, 2009 in Game Development

Now this has alot of potential!

It plays very well, hardly any bugs. But the movement of the camera does have trouble keeping up when I'm jumping all over the place. The animation change for the player is also off when you jump and land several times in a row.

I'll be following this blog anywho, hope to see more!

We don't know what the game is about and we haven't seen any examples of programming yet. I'd be damned if someone helps you.

Sorry for double post geez.

I just put a link to a Newgrounds animation on Facebook - and I'm disappointed that It's text only, no image of the animation, not even the little 50x50 preview image..

Sucks :(

Well explain how to use the Flash interface briefly or in detail if they're experienced or not. Basic tweening and FBF and maybe move onto advanced and other possibilities towards the end of the session.

Too much programming talk :(

Any good tv shows? What are your favourite? :)

Right now I find myself watching Mock the Week, QI and South Park in the early hours. And Skins on 4od when I have time (usually days, I have to keep watching).
