Sorry, dude, I never answered this question. Yeah, it went in well.

So, here's the deal. The final file... it's over 30 meg!

I've PMed Tom to give me the power to submit something that size. I wish I had faster internet than 15 kbps upload.

I guess we'll get a preview of the finished product before it is submitted... right? :3

Oh of course. And there's talk in the house of internet upgrading. If we upgrade our internet, I could do more previews. It took me 20 minutes to upload the last .swf for a preview! >.<

eh EH???

Sure, go ahead. If anyone else wants to make another sig, go ahead too. If we have different sigs, it will attract more people i.e. someone doesn't find one sig attractive, but finds the other attractive.

I just woke up. >.<

Hehehe, thanks for sorting this out. Did it turn out to be the same guy?

I've PMed everyone else who needs to. Getting replies too.

iunno i think its better to just make'em fit,
why dont you change the order of the buttons? xD

Nah, I like it the way it is.

Thanks for the replies, guys. And I accept 0 reviews as long as they have better reason than just "Bush makes it suck". In fact, I accept 0 reviews even if there is no reason behind it, but I don't want to be bombarded by the same guy who is breaking the rules.

The thing is, n the space of one-two days, it received two reviews giving it a 0 due an animation of Bush. I suspected the two users were both the same person but I didn't care of it enough to contact someone. But now another review from a user who has hardly done anything on Newgrounds saying he doesn't like it (or much) for the exact same reason... I just want to shut this down in case this becomes a regularly activity by this person. That is IF it is the same person and it's not just different people following someone else.

Recently, one of my Flash animations, which is a collab where people put lots of hard work into, has been reviewed by 3 users giving it low scores due to George Bush being in it. This animation has been on NG for over 2 years without any hate of it and suddenly, I get 3 reviews.

I believe it's the same user creating more accounts just to review the Flash and give it a lower score.
Who do I contact to investigate? A review mod or an admin?

Cheers!

you could use "remarks" if that is better...

I want something really short. If you look at the menu, the three buttons are like this:

SMALL
BIGGER
SMALL

I want to keep it that way. If nobody can think of anything, I'll end up making them all long to fit in "comments" like Master-Samus suggested.

Alright, guys, because we don't really have bios but more just author's comments, I want to change the Bios button to something else on the menu. It has to be a short word so it looks good on the menu.

If anyone knows a short word that means "comments" or something similar, please post it here!

I'd say November 3rd.

If it's a question of bios, how many are needed?

Everyone needs to send me their bio. I will contact those who have not sent the bios soon.

Also, Part 42/Credits (almost done)

OMG PART 40!!

Studio-Nightbird, send me the .fla!

Problem = fixed.

I love Newgrounds.

If that doen't work a workaround could involve finding the problem frames through StopAllSounds or something like that.

Actually, I'm not using scenes. I'm using frame labels to label the scenes for the actionscript. Everything is on the main timeline.

I'm putting the full song in for the final production. All of the sound clips inside the MC's are taken out.

RazorHawk, the preloader worked fine.

Thanks EKublai for the advice. I'll try a few things.

The animation is very good for a stick animation. Nice work.

Audacity is the program I use to convert .mp3's that aren't compatible with Flash to be compatible with Flash. You'll probably need to download the LAME MP3 Encoder.

And, for the 58th triple post, I'm facing another problem which some of you may know how to fix.

Some parts seem to go out of sync when you play it from the start. However, if you watch it from scene 2 or 3, it is all in sync.

Any help?

that is freaking weird.

I'm having major problems getting ColdReaver's part 37 in. I tried putting other parts in and they worked fine. I deleted all the PNGs and tried putting the part in and that worked. All the PNGs being placed into the final .fla are too much for shit Flash CS4 to handle.

ColdReaver, you reckon you can use vector art to make your backgrounds in that part?

He was a good animator and contributor to Newgrounds, I'm sure. But, let's be honest, no disrespect intended to the dead, but he died from a heroin overdose. I don't care how good an artist he was, we should not be treating him like a hero.

My condolences to his family. I am sorry for his death, but I still cannot treat him as a hero.

Flash CS4 is the biggest piece of shit I have ever experienced. I've been trying forever to put one of ColdReaver's parts in and it keeps crashing. I'll find a way but I just want to rant on how shit it is and how much it keeps crashing compared to CS3 and Flash 8.

LongLongCat, send me the .fla, mate.

I like your girlfriend already.

One of my best friends didn't like it much because he's into mainstream style music. So, who gives a crap!

I reckon this will turn out better than HAND... the only reason why it couldn't do so well is because the song is nowhere near as catchy and mainstream as HAND, but the animation will make up for it.

I disagree with this. Why? It will end up being a large file, 15-25 MB, and not everyone has fast internet. People do other things while Flash animations load. I don't want anyone to miss out on anything so a play button will stay.

Very clever, but I don't dig it.

Here's how Supra's part fits in!

I noticed that too. I'm not sure why that happens but I'll fix it.

At 10/23/09 05:07 PM, Snicp wrote: all right guys first of all i think you should make the sound quality much better for the final version since its a music video collab

Of course! I'm only keeping the quality low for testing - otherwise it'd take around 50-100% longer to export each time I want to test it.

and second, u should change the 'play' button at the beginning for something else

I think it rocks to be honest. If most participants agree with you, however, I will be willing to change it.

Thank you everyone for your comments about the collab so far. I will fix what you think needs fixing and if you have a slight problem, no matter how pedantic, let me know. For a years work, fixing tiny details is worth it.

Also, can everyone on this list add me as a flash buddy?

Almost. I need all bios. Also, here's a little sample (yes, it goes out of sync at the end but I've fixed that up in the .fla):

Still needs a few fixes, but getting there.
