Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

If the "My Newgrounds" collection added a few more 3.00+ flashes, then it might also be worth of mentioning.

On Sprite character:
if(this.hitTets(_root.thingy)) { //Thingy is the thing it steps on
_root.gotoAndPlay(nextFrame);
}
}

A hitTest is to test if to MC's are touching

Try enter the site with a PS3 web browser. THEN we can say the whole site is a glitch!

Actually... most people her on NG use Flash 8... I think it's 99% who uses Flash 8 and 1% who uses CS3... Maybe with some slight different numbers... I'm thinking in 7% and 93% But CS3 is defintely getting more popular, even though the only really new feature is AS 3.0

Go to the layer and press the Outline button (or whatever it's called), then you can clearly see if the lines are connected!

Take a guy who got amnesia. He was the most talented guy in the world in EVERYTHING, but he forgot how to do stuff. You need to learn him do stuff again, by playing minigames :) It could be all sort of stuff. Guitar Hero-esque, for him playing guitar (you could also do other instruments, if you know how) he needs to relearn his videogame skills, so make him play Alien Attack ;) Keep on with that untill almost every idea is gathered into one single game :D

I just use some of the first things that gets in my head; stick it all together, make it funny, and then make it make sense!

Let's see...:
A lonley phone... Eats an apple... Which was radioactive... So the phone... Recieved mystical spider-like powers... And then it saved the world... From iPods!!! ;D

Ring a bell?

Make something else than a line that pops up every 2 seconds (even though it was nicely done).
I was almost bored to death...

Try looking at Alvin-Earthworms latest newspost (maybe he made a new, IDK) he says where he gets all his music and sprites

You could move faster? And then set Flash to 12 fps?

Well. if you're tweening it on the main timeline, and adds it... then I don't think you can (dunno why, I think it simply screws some stuff), but then you should do the tween you want INSIDE the movieclip.
And if you say "But then I can't add filters or tween properties, buh hu" then just make a movieclip in a movieclip.

Completely wrong syntax.Try not to give advice if you don't know what you're talking about. Try this instead.

on (press) {
_y += 5;
}
on (release) {
_y -= 5;
}

Ahh.. I knew the handlers were wrong... I was just too lazy to check 'em :P But what you seem to be doing.... well it looks like it needs some more work too

On top of this forum... "New to Flash? READ BEFORE POSTING!!!"

gotoAndStop(newgrounds.com/flash);

Do I need to change my play button script?:

on(release){
play();
}

on(mouseDown) {
this._y += 2;
}
on(mouseUp) {
this._y -= 2;
}
on(enterFrame) {
if(this._y > [Original Y position]) {
this._y = [Original Y Position];
}
}

...Maybe... Not sure about the handlers...

Well, I must say it's the best Flash game I've EVER played! The graphics are top-notch (except for the fact that I need to lower the quality :( ) and the gameplay was actually muhc funnier than I would have expected. I think they should do as Tom and Dan did with Alien Hominid!

Something like gotoAndPlay(1,1);
The first one is scene number the second one is frame... maybe it's oppisite I don't know! Use script assist if needed!

The button should have its own layer which fills over all the frames you need. Then it should do the same action on all the frames.

Well you could just copy Newgrounds preloader and then change the graphics... Unless you want something else than a bar which length is equal to percent loaded...

Try come with a link to the .fla then we can check the whole thing.

Erm... I guess you have a speed variable, let's call it "spd". And something like

onClipEvent(load) {
spd = 0;
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
//Code that makes the MC go forward depending on rotation which I can't really remember + spd;
spd += 2;
}
}

So not, when you press space, it goes forward, and you have also made the code which changes it rotation depending on the mouse, good.
Then you need to add something like:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(!Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
spd * 0.5;
}
}

So now when SPACE is NOT down, the var spd decreases slowly!

Shooting game like WPN fire, starring: P-BOT!!!

Well firstly you need to compile it into a .swf file. To do that, either go to something like File > Publish and then make sue the Publish Settings are adjusted correctly to make it a .swf file. The other way (which I prefer) is simply to press CTRL + Enter :) Then to put it on a site, you're just going to upload the .swf file. Then of course, I have never SEEN mySpace (but people do tend to talk about it) so I don't really know if it supports flash files.

Well they are just there to organize for you... If you get too many layers, then you could go to a new scene, and start up fresh. But I think a lot of people don't use them. Especially not for games.

You should be able to change it alpha settings by converting to a MC. Then go to the properties menu, and then "Color" should be changed to Alpha, where from you can change it!

I can dream, can I? Well, I think NG will grow, and then maybe one day, they might would if they know it was going to be good? Maybe one of the bots will watch over Ng mag?

Well, I have contacted Bob about it earlier (he thought it was the preloader... I think he got confues so I didn't wanted to bother him mre...), and it is NOT on the download page... weird actually... but I found it on a thread! Try search after it on the bbs, cause I can't really remember the link... but it was on some sort of rapidshare like website. Hope that helps.

It sounds like you don't know any Actionscript at ALL, so..... gotoAndStop("Newgrounds Flash Tutorial Page");
:P Then, after you've read almost all of the tutorials (I suggest Tut collab '06) or just some of the better, you might get the idea yourself.

If that was irony (it's kindda hard to figure out on text, unless you add <irony "Text" irony/>) I hate you.
Or else:
Well, I just never tend to finish stuff.... I just come up with waaaaayyy too many ideas.... :(

Is this frame limit in the main timeline only, or does it count all frames (including MC timeline) include?
