Your grammar is atrocious.

Very neat set you got yourself there. I do recommend that you don't post the swf files as samples though, especially if you're planning on selling them. An SWF Decompiler will let people convert the swf into a raw fla file, and thus your work is heisted. Pictures are a good sample, and if you get a nibble on a sale, then consider showing an swf. I had it happen to me, don't let it happen to you!

I was under the impression that the v-cam was made for flash 8 originally. I use it all the time....

Hallway lasers that you have to crawl under? air vents the you have to crawl through to get past locked doors? A ridiculous storyline involving an old guy and a giant robot?

Stop trolling. Thats the most lame ass excuse ever. You completely just change face after an entire topic of BSing. Stop it.

Hows about you learn to use Flash, and just do it yourself. You call low level animators shit, but you're not even on a level. Seriously, just do it yourself. You're certainly not going to get it done like this.

PS: Learn to post. Abbreviate, capitalize, spell-check. All handy tools to use.

I'm so tired of random people, with absolutely no skill, posting a horrible idea and wanting it to be animated in 3 days, with 5 star class, and have authorship. Its f#@king ridiculous. Thats like saying "Hey, um.... will somebody please waste a month of their life to animate this extremely shitty and half-assed idea of mine? Oh, but don't bother unless you're extremely good, and this flash will without a doubt make top ratings after the fact."

Seriously. Learn to flash and do it yourself.

Lundsfryd Please, hold the mustard.

I call it a Hornidode Creeper. It is a lizard like creature that has large air sacks on its sides and tail region which it uses to expel large amounts of air through the funnel like objects on its back, which then emit a very loud, low pitched, blasts. This sounds is used mostly to deter large predators.

What do you think?

Sorry for not checking in for a while. Computer crashes are bothersome problems.... But luckily I had my flash stored on an external drive, so that is safe, but fixing my computer has taken like 2 months and the only internet connection I have had with the forums has been with my grandma's computer.

Anyway, now I'm back and I bought an art tablet, so I should be able to finish up my animation in a week or so. :D

The code he posted had syntax errors. My code is basically that, but on the player MC, and its adds a negative version of an xSpeed variable to the players position on the X axis when it hits the block.

The code ends up with syntax errors, and I can't figure out where.

What exactly is vX and vY, because flash isn't recognizing it at all. Is it a variable I have to set up? or a special one, like "i" ?

Ok. I reformatted the code Denvish posted, and added some traces to make sure it was registering the hitTest, and the value of the X and Y speed variables.

The Barrier works, but now I have a new problem. When you hit the barrier with the character, it bounces into the block slightly, and you can get stuck inside of it.

For AS2.0

this.x += this.vX

Has to be:

this._x += this.vX;

Yeah, I tried that. Not sure whats wrong. I included a picture to put things in perspective. The block is the barrier. Both the character and the block are on the same layer, and the code is on the character as well.

Converted to AS2, kind of:

player.onEnterFrame=function{
this.x += this.vX;
this.y += this.vY;
if ( this.hitTest(_root.barrier ) ){
this.vX*=-1;
this.vY*=-1;
}
}

vX is horizontal speed, vY is vertical speed. Ideally though you'll need separate if{} sections to handle bounce in each direction, as that will reverse both vX and vY - you'll probably be wanting to reverse vY only if hitting top/bottom, and vX when hitting left/right.

Sorry to double post, but the code doesn't necessarily do anything at all. I have all the instance names in place, and I'm not a code newbie, so I know what to look for if something doesn't work, but I'm not exactly sure why it isn't working. Is there something else I should be doing? Maybe a variable I was supposed to put in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the conversion Denvish. I appreciate it.

Oh sorry, I needed AS2. I appreciate the response though.

Is there any code that I can put on a movie clip, so that no matter what direction the character hits it at, it will deflect him in the exact opposite direction? It would incredibly helpful.

Why has no one answered this man's completely legitimate, and totally competent question yet? Oh dear this is a conundrum!

Ok, here's what you do good sir. Go to file in your Pivot file and save. Then go into flash, and open a new document. Go to flash, and hit File>Open. Instead of openning your pivot file, you have to delete it, so the pivot can be used in two projects at once. It's a windows glitch, so if you have a Mac, you're screwed. Anyway, after you delete it in the open window, with the pivot program still open, create a new layer in flash and then close the pivto screen without saving. The pivot will be instantly converted into the flash .fla file format. So there you have it good sir!

OK to get to the point, I would love to see some1 animate the skit, since I find it funny... I offer my voice for any other project the kind artist would want my voice on, i have a new microphone to offer much better sound quality. Please and thank you

Seriously. Stop making posts like this. You're wasting everyone's time, including your own.

Fixed. Don't message me. Ever.

I just got the Wacomb - Bamboo Fun Tablet. I got it from Best Buy for $99.99. I love it already! It comes with a tablet pen, a mouse, and a bunch of extras too! Definitely worth the purchase.

The pen is really responsive, and works great for drawing, but it takes some getting used to. The mouse is a bit wacky, since it only works on the tablet, and it's sorta like having a mouse that likes to short out, but its still great. You'll use the pen most of the time anyway. I would definitely get the small $99 Wacomb for a first tablet.

Very nice concept you have there. I think this engine is leaning more towards a lengthy puzzle oriented game.
I think a series of blocks that you have to rotate and arrange with the robot to get through the level.

I might be able to help you out. I'd need to know the details of the project, and if it pays, then how much.
Here's some example art of a zombie:

Try doing what WolfAkela said, but with motion trails.

Thanks. I'm gonna add the v-cam in after I get all the animation done, and use that like a move able frame. After all is said and done, my part should look more like someone was filming.

Updates!

Check it, I added a kickass motion trails effect.

Here's an update on my part: http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/2508/652 41_ng_level_BG.php?lightbox

Sorry to say, but I've only added new effects, and touched up a few things. I'll try to speed up the progress though.

Your copy of Flash is obviously pirated. For example, if I were to spend $800 (like I did), I would at least know how to spell the publisher name, Macromedia. But hey, I'll just chalk it up to stupidity.
