WONDERFULY SAID. THATS A GOOOOOD POINT OF VIEW> y es yes ye syes yes . i agree. great job.

Lovely job! I like the layout , how it blows up. This may bring more artists and viewers to the site because it's got nice presentation. I dunno if any other site does this, but that BLOW UP feature is great! Wowsers.

Hmm, it's possible Newgrounds may lose some comments, reviews, and submission activities.
Becuase the content is at the very top suffocating the interactivity that used to be easily seen.

Review, vote, add favorites etc. There may be a possible drop in that. But in general, it's great presentation. It may drop in the beginning, but maybe it'll go back up. People get used to places they like ;).

Is there possible consideration to foreshadow there are things directly related to the content below?
Like 'Authors Coments Below!" very skinny or something on the side.

Hands down lovely job. Lovely progression, great vibe, and wonderful presentation. Let's see Newgrounds grow.

Thank you PsychoGoldfish, Liljim and Bob!
This widescreen layout is AMAZING! it gets to the point! the file starts loading imediately! great!

loveyly!

The "Related Content" info needs to re-populate with proper results. Until then you will see a lot of content that doesn't feel very related... The end result should be much better.

If you want to test the "Max Size" button, which makes Flash fill the width of the layout, try it on these!

You can still open Flash in a pop-up as well, and the moon icon dims the lights, like the lightbox layout we had before this. Give it a minute to soak in and let us know if anything is totally broken.

Everyone thank PsychoGoldfish, Liljim and Bob!

"Just a personal opinion, but I'd probably try obliterating all scenes completely by having all the movieclips in order in one scene, then at the start of each movieclip, have _root.stop();, and at the end of each movieclip have _root.play();.

That one, i'm doing it now, it rocks, SO FAR.....i'm celebrating over 2 scenes, it went from 1 movie clip, to the second, to the third.....I've only gotten as far as 5 or something, out of the 10.........

thank you! however, it's not 1,00000000000% accurate, when it goes to the next scene....it gets lots of glitches...BUT THE FUNCTION WORKS, but like...ther'es like 1 split second of random frames in it....
why.....................................
..... why does flash have to kill me?

Movieclips loops, that's what they're designed to do. Provided there's no other interfering script, the previous solution should work fine.
On the very last frame, if you put _root.gotoAndPlay("location of mc2");, mc2 should play if mc1 isn't there.

You could also try...

This way, you wouldn't have to bother with frames, and scenes.

(mc's play automatically, even when the main timeline is stopped)

The script means that after the preloader, the movie will automatically go to the frame mc1 is on, the code inside will tell it to stop the main timeline, while the mc1 plays. At the end of mc1, the _root.play will make it go to the next frame, and the process will repeat until the end.

Oh hey, you're that guy with all those awards and stuff.

scenes saved my life.
like....lets say your movie is 18 minutes like the one I will submit to NG in hours...
sometimes...18 minutes is too hardcore for flash timeline, and you gotta divide it up.
if you dont...ii've experienced it crashing on me
that's how i use it, i'm sure there are more dynamic and creative ways to use scenes.

the more you know about hte program the more you can explain. i don't know too much about the program. only enough to get a movie done.

The Movie Clip thing worked, it's amazing!!!!!!! thank you! i think it work, SO FAR!

annnyways! now i have a new problem... i have 10 scenes and 10 movie clips...after hte movie clip plays...it loops...why? that' sso annoying, you know?

the goal is to have it jump to scene 2, movieclip 2, right after, and so on , what can be done?

thanks!

now that ive helped you, how do you make scenes?

hey. thanks for your time and effort, i truly appreciate it. but man, i tried option two...and...it's doing literealy the opposite of what iw ant it to do. it's looping . here's the situation.
It's 18 minutes, so I have to break it up into 10 scenes, and 10 movie clips.
It starts with movie clip 1 inside of scene 1(that's the tricky part, after scene 1 is completely done, it loops the movie clip in it!) what it needs to do is go from Movie Clip 1, in Scene 1, to MovieClip 2, in Scene 2, and so on.

There's gotta be some code like, "after the movieclip is done, imediately, in a heart beat go to scene 2, and let movie clip 2 play" you know what i mean?

THANKY OU!!!!!!!!!

BUT THANKS IM GONNA TRY!!!!!!!!!!!

"_root" anything refers to the main timeline. Meaning if your entire animation is in a movieclip, it's stay on frame one, but the movieclip will play as a movieclip would play on a single frame flash, per say.

...OR

Put _root.stop(); on the first frame of the movieclip, and at the end put _root.gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);

If you choose the latter, the root.stop is optional in a theoretical sense.

": If it isn't already, make the scene's frame length the same as the animation inside the movieclip."
Done that one already, and that's making it not work/have my problem.

and wow...number 2...wow, that looks beautiful...i am going to try that, thank you so much...wow.....

Here's the sitaution, i got 10 scenes,
each scene has a 1-3 minute Movie Clip.
THe first scene has a movie clip....but when it's done...it doesn't go to Scene 2, it restarts from within it's own movie clip!
i want it to stop being self centered and let the next Scene and movie clip happen.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Someone helped me before , i really apreciate this place

wow never thought of that. this is a sign of hope. i got 10 scenes, maybe i'll make 10 scenes?

or put 5 scenes per MOVIE CLIP? thank you man...this is hope...that there is a way out...

Hey, got a new animation coming out. Speed Anim 6:ChristmasBattle Party

BUT ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!! It's 18 minutes so the deeper it goes, the more off sync the audio gets.
I have to guess and check the audio and watch it from begining to end.

Thing is, right now, when it hits the 8-10 minute area, the visuals stop! it freezes but the audio continues!

this is driving me nuts! someone please help me! With ACTION SCRIPT!
To go to the next scene, that's all! then from there.

gotoAndPlay ("Scene 8",2)

Should be LITERALY as super simple as litereal, that, literealy am i literaly right?
I am insane right now btw. it's incredibly annoying when 18 minutes is finished, but then it's "not finished" because you have to improvise to make it work.

aos it's for http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/chr istmas2008.html

so it's driving me insane even more, cuase time prssure, i have 2 hours left before december 31 is over. hahahha! muhauhauhauhuahahuahuauhauhauhauha!
