What do take me for? You think I didn't contemplate this before I posted?
First and formost, by posting this, yes, I did draw attention to the fact that I was an idiot. Nevertheless, I find it better if I point out my error, than to have someone point it out to me with the assumption that that post still represents my opinion.

Anyway, thanks guys, I'll contact an admin lol
I thought it would be fun to look back at my old topics and read them over.
I'm looking at some of them and the stuff that I said was terrible! Totally illogical, terribly offensive.. I can't even remember writing most of this stuff but I'm so incredibly offended with it.
This one in particular,
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/6385 48 Search my name, scroll down to the huge hate-rant.
I said alot of stupid shit in the past but that takes the cake, I'm utterly ashamed of it.
I kinda wish I could have every single post removed and start fresh, looking back on all of my rediculous posts. Damn I was a fucking jerkoff...

Here, check out this readme, it's kinda big:

I'm enjoying my winters while I still have them. Cause I won't be able to enjoy snow again after global warming hits until it rains ashes from global-thermonuclear warfare.
Sorry for the triple post.
I changed
if (Xd > 0) _xscale = 100;
else _xscale = -100;
to
if (Xd > 0) _xscale = 50;
else _xscale = -50;
and now it works perfect XD
For some reason when I use that, the movie clip becomes really fat vertically-wise and I can't seem to figure out why..
OH! lol!
So simple! Thanks, appreciated
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
if (Mouse._x < int(this._x + this._width / 2) ) {_xscale = -scale;}
updateAfterEvent(); }
Quick question. How do I get it to right itself if the mouse._x is > blahblah? I'm very very new to AS so please bear with me.
When i simply put
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
if (Mouse._x > int(this._x + this._width / 2) ) {_xscale = scale;}
updateAfterEvent(); }
it doesn't work. And I don't know how "else" works.
LOL silly me, trying to calculate the position of the mouse by determining if the objects rotation is less than or greater than 180 when I can just do what you said XD
This movieclip is a weapon for my character in a game.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
Xd =_root._xmouse-_x;
Yd =_root._ymouse-_y;
radAngle = Math.atan2(Yd, Xd);
_rotation = int((radAngle*360 / (2*Math.PI))+90);
updateAfterEvent();
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x = (_root.hero._x);
this._y = (_root.hero._y)-55;
}
It makes the weapon point at my mouse. However, naturally, the weapon is upside down when pointed to the left.
How do I make it so that when it points to the left, it flips itself upside down, and when it points to the right, it sets itself upside up.
Helpful.
Well appreciated!
Is there a way to prevent users from holding tab to see context sensitive areas without making tab bring them to a "Hah! Caught your cheater!" scene or some cheesy solution like that?
No matter the weapon, post it. Here's a majority of my arsenal:

It's in perfect working order now ^_^ I'm surprised I didn't think of that...
Sorry about posting in here but I saw that it had been posted in a few times in the past few days and thought "why not?"
(Sorry, i fixed the typo, UP)
Hey. I have no experiance in any programming language whatsoever. I want to learn actionscript, and I figure this is simple enough place to start.
Copy-pasted the code for directional orientation and movement, and it all works. As a simple test, i made it so when space is pressed, it goes to frame 5, which is just a red dot. Simple stuff.
I experimented with the concept of diagnol character orientation:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT and Key.Up)){_x+=speed; _y-=speed; gotoAndStop(6);}
My objective was, to add extra-orientation. Not just left, right, up and down, but also, upright. On frame 6, i drew an arrow pointing diagnally up-right. Naturally, I got error.
Why can't something like this be done? What is the correct way to do this?
Your KBS is probably set too low. Set it a bit higher (but not TOO high or youll get lag). Flash always had issues with audio.. -_-
You also probbaly just set your sound quality too low. When you export your video, in the middle of the Export box should be sound options. Find an equilibrium between good quality music, and low file size.

My bad, didn't know.
And although I could "do the movie myself", right now I'm in the middle of my post-grad studies, so the time factor is a bit of a problem.
Still, I'm in no rush to do this and I really want to do this "right".
=]
So then wait until your not so occupied and then "do the movie yourself".
... you think this forum is some sort of dispenser of flash artists?
Sometimes you'll run into the oddball flash artist who would take up a project request, but this is rare, and when it happens, success is even rarer.
Non collaborative music videos are big projects.

Thanks again and sorry.
hm..
Needless to say you know what happens to people who have no experiance in flash, who come on and ask people to do the hard work for them (thats not to say your poem wasn't hard to make, just that... well flash is a rare talent also). If I were you I would take it. Madcat seems to have all the basic elements down, he just needs to propperly applicate it.
Better yet, learn flash yourself and do it..

Can't do that.
The sound quality of sound effects and music need to be different..
That solved part of the problem.
Now a new problem: Small lag spikes every time the sound is played. This mis-syncs the animation my marginal amounts, with eventually adds up until everything is totally mistimed. Not to mention, it lags alot, and thats annoying.
But it did solve the delay problem. Interesting...
So I suppose the trick is to find the lowest possible bitrate that keeps the flash in-sync the problem with that would probably be that... all computers operate at different levels.
to be honest, i don't know what I'm talking about. What do you have to say?
Something i notice is that mixing streamed, and evented sounds, or even just too much of one cause untimable delays.
This turns into a problem when I need to have event-sound effects, streamed voices, and streamed audio running at the same time. The bigger the timeline of the flash, and the more sound, the more issues arise.
I've been doing that "make a symbol, put the sound in it, your good to go" technique for awhile, but now I ran into a new issue... with REALLY long songs, the streamed song will actually lose sync with the animation. Sort of similar to how evented audio loses it. The only way I could see around this is to break the song into segments, then use the, "make the symbol, put the sound in it" technique for each of the songs, but this becomes unreliable, putting skipped frames in between each segment, and defeated one of the purposes of streaming which is to allow me to hear the song.
I'm just tired of this stupid problem. So I have 2 questions:
Is there a way to fix this problem indefinatly?
If not, are more recent versions of flash fixed? And which ones?
I really don't want to buy another flash.
Also, "Discussing illegal activities" is not allowed on the forum. So don't go there with me. You know what I mean.
Also, if you say you hate being an American... You're really fucking ignorant, and have never been outside of this wonderful country. I love this country so fucking much... Maybe I don't aprove of it's foreign policies, nor the war, nor it's 2 party system....
But actually living here is a great thing. If you want to immigrate anywhere, it's probably here. Though of course there is discrimination against foreigners (like any part of the world), it's on a lesser level here. Also, theres so much diversity from american to american (at least in my area), that your skin color would blend right in no matter what part of the world your from. Also, we have a bit of every climate and culture here. You can live in a new york city, or you can live in a tennessee village. You can live along the long flat alabama plains, or your can live on our steep mountains in arizona. You can relax in the hot island-like climate of florida, or you can feel at home in our freezing state of alaska. We have EVERY sort of climate and terraign here.
Rather than looking at it from the perspective of "Americans think they're the best country ever." have you ever considered that maybe theres a REASON we love living here so much? Those American's who hate being American's are ignorant
I won't comment on Britain's "livability" since I haven't had to stay for a long enough period of time to draw a conclusion. But I must say it's pretty nice over there. (And they have the COOLEST shopping carts EVER! at least in the place i was at lol)
I've been to britain, i live in america.
british people have a notable fat people ratio as well. Maybe not as extreme as american, but still there. Also, it's almost a compliment to say that a countries biggest civil problem is that it's citizens eat too well.
Also, I wouldn't diss America toooo much, as almost all the original inventions that led to todays worldly technology revolution came from who? Americans. (seem's to be that America is an inventor-island, and that japan is a perfecting-the-invention-island)
As for the multiple "We gave birth to you Americans, in a way, we own you." Not really. if they, the colonists, were truly Great Britain's "children", Great Britain would have gave them some damn representation in political decisions. By refusing to do so, Britain was doomed to lose control of the colonists, and when your main source of power is naval, the best you can try to do is blockade our trade routes (which you did, but of course it's difficult to blockade a continent).
All those factors, with the French's (unwise) assistance, There was no way Great Britain was going to maintain control of the colonists without giving them representation.
I must say though... We really did kill the king's english.
