I just remembered something important: You must add a Sheepinator!!

A gun that genetically transforms any organic enemies into sheeps or other animals. The player must continuosly keep the beam on the enemy for at least a few seconds for the transformation to work.

It's weird... I have played so many of Insomniacs games and they are all loaded with big creative guns. But then when you're given the task to come up with a weapon... it's hard :(
But if I have to give you something I would suggest something that resembles the "Imma Chargin Mah Lazor!!" meme (gotta find out where that started someday btw, lol)
Some giant plasma/laser gun. that takes 5-10 seconds to charge, but when it fires it obliterates half of the screen!

Or you could go Downloads -> Preloaders, either way works.

No it does not.

Yes it does, because as the others have already said: What you think you're looking for, is actually not something you should be looking for. What you should be looking for is under Downloads -> Preloaders!

I'm personally against any kind of mood-changer-thingies because I think it's kind of cheating at life :P
That's also why I don't drink xD

If it's an embarrasing picture of you, go buy a copy of the newest Hannah Montanah game. Put the picture in the game case and put it in your game collection. If someone finds it they go "Dude... is that you?!" And you go "Yea, you got me. Hey, where did you find that pic?".
They have some explaining to do.

Also, next to the buttons where you can hide and lock layers, there should be a "Show Outlines" button. That helps in seeing whether two things are actually touching or not.

I'm sorry, that's totally supposed to be 6 days!! not 6 weeks

I was also getting a bit confused about that :P
Boy, I hope I can finish it on time XD

Ok, finally making some progress! Here's a screenshot :D Guess what line I'm going for :P

Bump?

I just noticed that the small links were a bit out of proportions... first I thought it was the start of the complete wide redesign, but then I compared it with an old screenshot and noticed that the NG Mag link has been take down... just in case anyone wants to know :P

Yeah, me too. On the page it says something like "We're on the final leg of making this systems, but all your stats should be up", although I can't find any stats?
Maybe it's simply not working yet, and it's one of the things they're working on?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I think what you want is to change the X and Y position of your character.
Say you enter a frame from entrance 1, you check on your work space what the coordinates are for that position and then
_root.char._x = xcoordinate; // Of course you change "xcoordinate" to the actual X coordinate
_root.char._y = ycoordinate; // Same, but for Y

And then you find the coordinates for where your character is supposed to be if he enters from the other entrance, and then add the same code, but with different X and Y values.
Got it?

I think BA is the average of your three best submissions. And if you don't have three submissions you just end up with N/A.

I just think it's hilarious. Go to the local kindergarden and it's like watching "The Pick of Destiny" live, lol

Jack Black sure swears a lot when he isn't on mainstream television :P

Stop arguing over a fact.

THANK YOU!

not illegal post

Ermm... While I can't say I've tried it, I think if you had a ton of concentrated weed fall on top of you with a speed of aprox 100 miles per hour, I think it would harm you pretty bad even if you only smoke it once every second day.

Flash 8 is fine, you just can't use flash 10.

Man I really wish I could edit the first post :P

Actually you can use Flash 10, you just have to save it as a Flash 9 (or lower file) :P

People need to go a bit easy on the 5 button :P

I know Tom already has said he would look into it, so don't worry :D
While I haven't seen any ad with sound (yet!) on this site, I know it's a severe pain in the ass!

Well, I know that that's is not true, as I have never been considered "Popular" by P-bot, and I check every time I submit something :P
But I also know that it isn't by awards, as I spoke with one of my friends about he was considered Popular, and he hasn't any awards and a BA about 2.8 or something.

If I'm not mistaken I believe there is a way to export your work in a lower version of flash. If this exists and you do this just make sure that the movie still works and tell me to do this when you submit.

While I only own Flash 8, I know you can "Save As..." and then save as Flash MX 2004 document. I suspect you can do the same with CS3/4 and "Save As..." a Flash 8 Document or a Flash CS3 Document

This actually seems like a funny idea for a collab, and if I come up with a good idea, I will probably try to join. Btw, when it says "Use Flash 9..." don't you mean "I got Flash 9, so you can use any Flash version except for Flash 10" ?

How do you make it that when you walk up to another character and press Spacebar it will go to th next frame?

You're making a game, and you don't know that? Seems pretty simple:

First you need to make a hitTest, on main character:
if(this.hitTest("character2")
Then add the activation from spacebar
if(this.hitTest("character2") && Key.isDown(SPACE)) {

and then on next line

_root.gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
}

I think that should be it, although I must admit it's been a while se I've been working seriously with AS, so there may be a few mistakes

I'd say this should do :D

onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(Key.isDown(66)) // 66 is the letter "B"

but you really want:

onClipEvent(load)
{
bDown = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if (Key.isDown(66) && !bDown)
{
nextFrame();
bDown = true;
}
if (!Key.isDown(66))
{
bDown = false;
}

I don't really get why he should make the code anymore complex? But I would say that if you want to gotoAndPlay on the main timeline, you should remember to say "_root.gotoAndPlay(19);
Oh yeah, and ("B") doesn't work, so stick with the number code (66). Although if you're ever to use the arrow buttons, you can just use (UP) and (DOWN) etc.

That's excactly what you got to do. It's a long and tiresome process, but it's really awesome at the end! :D Also, remember to go to Properties and make sure the frame rate is somewhere above 18.
The frame rate basically decides how fluid and smooth it's going to be, but also the more fluid, the more frames you have to draw. Therefore I would say 18 or 24 is a good number for movies, while 30/60 is for games.

Ps3:Has some great feature's like the blu ray and awesome graphics but is lacking in the good game part.

Seriously?! The PS3 has the best games of all consoles! Although the X360 has some good games and probably a bigger library, the PS3 takes quality over quantity and every time I count one good Xbox game I can count 2 good PS3 games... IMO

Follow Andy

Well adding is... addition..

Example:
var3 = var1 + var2

And to sound, I think 'Stream' is the best settings, but can only be used on a timeline (which means, movies), so I guess you need 'Event', since it can be used on a stopped frame.
