No just let this thread die out.
However you can host a collab on your own site or on you userpage.
If you are really intent on starting a collab..you can try to contact a mod for permission but unless you have one or two good submissions they are likely to say no.
You should join someone elses collab first so you can get a sense of the responsibility a leader has.

It's basically a random comedy one-page-per-comic kinda thing.. anyways.. I was wondering what program would be best for making movies (has to be at least somewhat cheap, yet still good and stuff..)?

Best program is still flash..
If your a decent flash artist the $700 is worth it.

I just read this story now..how sad

Most of the decent flash tutorials are here.
But As: Main is a much better resource as long as you can work without visuals
Hope this helps.

Keep it PG-rated or G-rated Please

Come up with something yourself.
Believe me its much more fullfilling that way when its finished.
Or look through the games alreadly on newgrounds and try to find one that you could build on.

i have enemies, and they are all instanced as "enemy" but my attacks will only hurt one of them because i have it saying, if(this.hitTest(_root.enemy){

is there a way i can instance all of the enemies the same yet have them all get affected?

also, my code is not in the timeline, it is on the character

Well you could give each enemy its own instance name ex: enemy1, enemy2 etc.
Then just have the code say:
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemy1){
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemy2){
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemy3){
For as many enemies as you have.
It takes up alot code and all but it will work this way too.
Hope that makes sense.

The FAQ or whatever said that if a movie has a score of or under 1.50, it would get AUTO deleted.
...well most TURD OF THE WEEK movies have a score UNDER 1.50 and didn't get blammed or anything... how is this possible?

The flash portal has checkpoints it does on each flash after a certain number of views.
So after 200 views it checks to see if the flash has a score over 1.5.
If it does, it passes the last checkpoint the system does.. at this point the flash's can go as low as possible and it will still stay on newgrounds.

dear god..

faster!!!

Thanks! Helped alot

Basically, can anyone tell me the code to a perfect hittest.
When I mean perfect hittest I mean as close as a pixel.
So please dont bother replying with code like MovieClip.hitTest(MovieClip); or MovieClip.hitTest(_x,_y, true); .
Imagine a wall in the shape of an L and having the hittest work on every part of the L from every direction..thats the code Im going for.
Thanks!

My own

Maybe someone with a better BA .

You state info like BA, what you want done, and anything else to avoid confusion

alright thanks

Im just curious..but when you go to export a flash, you get the option to override sounds. I always click it because it compresses the flash alot with no noticable? difference. Basically I want to know what choosing to override sounds does?
Thanks!

Normally, people tend to have alreadly decided on a song before starting a song collab.
Plus, for more organisation, you should divide the song into a set number of parts for people to take.
Either way..good luck with this

Hey you need BA(Average of at least 3 submissions) of 3.00 or higher to do collabs.
You can host a collab on your userpage or site.

ATM i am making custom games for Addictinggames and for the latest one i am getting $6,000
they also offered me $5,000 sponsorship for one of my old games.

If your being offered that much for your games then im sure some company would pay to hire you as a programmer or designer or something.
Computer Programming is one of the best careers to pursue in..

I doubt it took me any more then 2 hours to download flash with DSL.
I think you need a MUCH better internet.

They work faster, but be careful not to run an infinite loop (eg. while(this.hitTest(_root.wall)){ var ++;}) because that will crash flash, make sure whatever the while loop does will eventually cancel out the while loop.

I tried using while loops and didnt notice any difference...

So I made a little practice game here
The idea is to avoid walls but I want you to have the ball go into the wall
After doing that Im sure you will be able to see that the hittests of every wall is a little bit off
How do I fix it so I have perfect or almost-perfect hittest?
Thanks!

Why dont you come up with something original instead of ideas that have been more or less beaten to death.
But out of the 6 I guess if it was well done then Indiana Jones would be the most entertaining..

Whats the code to stop a character from walking through walls..like in this game
thanks!
