Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I've made a rather funny game (though unsubmitted), and I know some decent AS, but I haven't learned about arrays yet :) If you want something really basic first, I suggest play(); and stop(); :P
Then I think you should learn about gotoAndStop / Play and maybe onClipEvent(load/enterFrame)

But yea, try out those sites menitoned, I just think newgrounds. com/flash is excellent :D I've learned almost everything from there!

Well, then maybe you could add all the movieclips beforehand. and then just alter the alpha properties.

onClipEvent(load) {
_alpha = 0;
}

On button;
on(press) { //Could be on(release)
_root.mcInstanceName._alpha = 100;
}

Yea... Newgrounds got some great tuts. Firstly, i suggest you to learn stop(); and play();
But basically, open Flash, hit F9, remove the script assist (if on, disables typing) and start coding!
The tuts will just help you to learn HOW to code :)

if(_global.wingisSold == true) {

sorry

Ermm... I don't know really know how you're game is set, but let me think it's on frame 1 you tune your car. And frame 2 you play it.

frame 1:
on the "buy" button:
on(press) {
_global.wingisSold = true;
}

frame 2:
If it's an overhead car game:
onClipEvent(load) {
if(_global.wingisSold = true) {
gotoAndStop("Frame where it got a wing")
}
}

Never really thought of the bots + chat rooms, but yea, it defintely is possible! Then maybe NG will make a bot that will host online leaderbords, so we don't have to find places for that somewhere else. Or maybe NG will give us some internet space for our online games!? What do you guys think?

Well, if I-Bot and F-Bot (mostly F-Bot) are there for a future purpose, it's going to be fun to think of what it could be :)

I don't think that's possible, and by the way, it has nothing to do with _root

Well, I think it's pretty good. Shows you got some AS skills, though the thing I would critices most in (constructive, of course ;)) is the gameplay itself. I don't think friction should be used in games like this, it was almost impossible to get trough some stuff because of that. And sometimes when you hit a wall, it smacked you into another, which smacked you back, thereby instant loss :(
But very good for a first timer! :)

I won my mousepad in a Danish Championship of gamin :D It's from some sort of Steel Series (Pro Gaming!!), as to mouse, I just use the one included with my Pc... not a clue of what it's called. But it works as a charm, with the new mat :)

I also don't get what you're talking about, so here's a guess:

To remove the oultine of a circle of square, simply select it, and press "Delete".
You can also change the color of your lines to a red slash. That will tell Flash to not add lines.

Ignore this, if this wasn't what you meant :P

Mine too :)

Oh yeah, I forgot M-Bot :( Sorry about that! But if no one knows what the some of the other bots are for, let's try and guess :)

BTW, I found Toms message:

Yea nice layout there.

:I don't think I should submit something for winter, I gotta still work up my flash skills.
:So, did you create F-bot, or did some random user did?

Tom's Saying:
F-Bot was built by the team for an upcoming feature. MindChamber constructed her outward appearance.

You can find it

here

You can all do this effect to objects (Movie Clips, Graphic...).

Tip of the day: Motion Tweens can be used on alpha parameters ;D

Ok, so we all know about P-Bot, and 99% also heard of A-Bot. A bit fewer have heard of G-Bot. Those are the 3 bots listed in the FAQ, but yet I still see a lot of other bots! Some of them is probably just people who make accounts for fun. Tom, though, stated somewhere that MindChamber created F-Bot. So some bots are official, but without a real objective yet. So, in this thread, we should talk about bots; who are true, who are fake, and what do they do! (Not the 3 bots mentioned first)

F-Bot Confirmed as an official Bot, though no objective yet.

I-Bot Looks true to me, though I haven't got any confirmation on this yet. If a NG bot, it is still under development.

3-Bot Also looks like the official NG games bot, but I haven't heard anything yet.

Lol-Bot Does not look like a NG bot.

7-Bot This bot might be a bit harder to see through.

Well, I must say, I haven't been on NG for years, so I might have missed something. Maybe you guys can help me? And I also know there are more "Bots" out there, but I listed those who looked most real.

Shield should reflect enemy attack spell.

Well, I really thought the preloader was cool. Ermm... I think you need to do more with it. Like animating the whole body at once. You don't see so many people only moving one limb at a time, right? (I know that was about animating... but else I would be talking about some helping lines!)

Well, I think it's a pretty cool idea, but 12FPS!! Sheesh! And why Flash Player 7? I tihnk at least 80% is using 8 now! So, it's a pretty good idea, but myself, I don't want to join something with those specifics. Though, I might see it :)

There's probably a way to save your .fla files, and then reinstall the Trial ;)

BTW .fla files are the working files in Flash, while .swf files are the ones that should be viewed.

I was actually thinking of something like this, way before My New Grounds was released, though in a bit different way, and opposite Allen... I never got too it :(. But if a whole day gets together for this, I'll defintely try to slap myself in the face untill I start doing something!! And luckily, I just finished the biggest part of my homework for the rest of the year :D So I'll try and make something, though it might be submitted a bit later than the 22 (24/25 is a nice opportunity for my first submission anyway :D).

Thank you all, i know i've let you down, i'm nto sure why you are all being so nice to me, i sure as hell wouldn't be. I'm putting all christmas shopping, school work and other project aside till i get this done. No more, i'll do it later, this WILL be done.

Why is it i felt like crying when i read this? Man, i must be REALLY tired! I also have days like that... Well, hope this get's done soon.

Well, if you're using AS2, then you probably need to press the Script Assist button, so it is NOT highligted.

All those add things you got should probably be a "+"!'
And your _parent should be _root try that first and see if it works.

Well... the code just looks completely wrong... I can't really remember it. I'll check on it, brb.

Hmmm... i believ semicolon (;) ends an expression, or something? Like stop(), and since it's an expression, it needs to have a ; ?

Yea, so:

Make everything on the screen into different Movie Clips.
Give all Movie Clips different layers
Make sure the little white round thing (is there for logic rotation) the same spot on each keyframe. If it is in the middle of the object on the first frame, and on the left edge on the last frame, the tween will go nut. I will suggest keep the dot in the middle, unless you're doing logic rotation.

That's a completely new subject, (which i know nothing about) i suggest wait for answers, or a start a new thread about intervals. Because i think it's something like: Ifkeyisdown createInterval for 0.2 sec, then if keyisDown xpsd = xspd + 4; else xspd = xspd;

Wait, it was

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) & Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {

I always miss that, and it's unbelivably annoying!

heres what i have

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.guy._x += 4;
}else{
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
_root.guy._x += 6;
}
}
}

but what can i add to the space so that if u press 2 keys at once, u go += 6;

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) & Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) {
_root.guy._x += 6;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_root.guy._x +=4;
}
}

Something like that, eh?

_root.pong.deel1
It doesn't seem right! _root.MovieClip, then if you make another dot, it should be a porperty like _x _y _alpha etc. So, i think you should split up your racket in 3 parts, and add the y follow to mous for each part. Then the top part should have this._y = _ymouse + 5 or something depending on your size.
