Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Awesome, thanks alot, you've been very helpful

I was also reading on Maya being the current standard. So i'm torn between trying either Maya or Blender. I just don't wanna start learning 3D animation software that will be useless in a year or too.

Like making a program with Winoot Turing, pointless except learning the very basics of programming to be applied to languages that are useful like C++.

I've been looking into learning 3D animation a bit for fun, but i'm not sure what software would be the best to use or start with. I've heard good things about Blender. Any ideas?

I've been running through,my head lately, who are the best video game characters of all time. Everytimr my mind goes straight to cloud of ff7 and loz's link. I want other opinions, who do u think had the greateat
impact on gaming?

I didnt realize there was a approval process, Im just in pending status for approval, which would be why its not displaying ad's.

Thanks for the help :)

Hello everyone, Ive just uploaded my third submission to newgrounds, and my first to have the newgrounds Flash API for game ads or whatever. So my problem is, when I launch my project from my .fla the ad works fine it display "This ad is working" or something like that. But now that Ive uploaded the swf to newgrounds, where the adds should be shown it nothing.
Now i'm not sure if this is because i'm still under judgement in the portal but i thought Id ask now so if it is a problem i can fix it asap

Sorry to sound a bit noobish, ive never tried to participate in any newgrounds competitions before. So my question is, how do I sign up? And what does it mean by example animation? Can I just point to something Ive posted on newgrounds previously?

All the sounds were set to event, I changed it to stream but no chnage. I just dont understand why its playing the movieclip sounds even though I completely skip over the sceene that contains it :S

Hello everyone, so i've made a couple different videos in seperate .fla file, and now i'm copying the frames for each video into their own scene in a master .fla where the buttons to chose each video or play all are. Everything is working fine unless I choose to play directly to the second video, it plays just fine but continuously plays sounds off of a movieclips timeline that is from the video before it on a seperate scene. So the movieclip that wont stop playing the sounds in no way appears or is even accessed when playing the video after. Ive gone and checked and I have stop(); at the end of the movieclip so it shouldnt replay, and it doesnt if I play all videos, only if I skip to a video ahead of the one that contains the movieclip. Keeping in mind each video is on a different scene.

example goto statement, gotoAndPlay (1, "Scene 4"); //Scene 3 holds the problematic movieclip.

any help would be greatly apreciated

I was wondering how I was going to upload the main swf to newgrounds without the other external ones. But the copying frames into the main .fla worked perfectly, thanks for the help :)

I've made 4 short parodies in four different .fla files and now i'm getting ready to take the four swf files of the parodies and play them in a master .fla file. Ive come to the conclusion that flash cs5.5 cant just directly import a swf file, but rather you need to do it with actionscript, which is where i'm having problems.

So far I have this: in the first frame of the prelaoder scene.

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Parody1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
addChild(myLoader);

var myLoader2:Loader = new Loader();
var url2:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Parody2.swf");
myLoader2.load(url2);
addChild(myLoader2);

var myLoader3:Loader = new Loader();
var url3:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Parody3.swf");
myLoader3.load(url3);
addChild(myLoader3);

var myLoader4:Loader = new Loader();
var url4:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Parody4.swf");
myLoader4.load(url4);
addChild(myLoader4);

I'm using a newgrounds preloader for the play button. When you hit Play it "should" bring you to scene 2 which will have seperate buttons to view the vidoes seperatly or play all at once. But I cant seem to find anyway to control the swf's after their loaded, they all just start playing at once in a continuous loop.

Any help would be greatly apreciated

Hello, im looking for some project templates to help out with learning more of flash, but I cant seem to find any on the interwebs. Just to be clear heres a example of what I mean, this is a intro projects requirements from one of my friends taking intro flash.

Create a flash animation that utilizes:
- 7 motion tweens
- 2 shape tweens
- audio of some sort
- spread out between 2 scenes with a total of atleast 400 frames.

Id like to find projects like this that I can do on my own time, but more advanced than that considering how basic it is. Like maybe a short animation that utlizes certain camera effects or something.

Anyways if anyone knows where I could find anything like that lemme know :)

Alot of good material out their. When I started with action script I read Flash cs3 classroom in a book, well now it would be cs5. But what really helped, and still does is all the full tutorials on www.lynda.com on any aspect of flash you can think of. If I recall right theres a tutorial series dedicated to creating games with actionscript, starting by assuming the reader/watcher knows nothing of flash. I think its called Creating a Game with Action Script. Search lynda.com you'll find it.

Anywho hope this helps.
P.S lynda.com a good amount of free videos, but i'm sure if you really wanted you could find ways to get it for free

Ok cool thank you much. Its drawing time it seems :P

Hi everyone, I apologize if this has been posted before, I looked for a bit and was unable to find an answer in the forums so here I ask. I've submitted to art pieces to the art portal now, but even after a month it still just shows That this user hasnt been scouted yet instead of the normal rate this 1 through 5. Not sure if I did something wrong or not thanks.
