Aren't you helpful.

Its pretty much just a standard rotate to rotate to mouse script (here at my forum).

Then saying if _rotation > 180 ( or whatever - depending on where it started.) then change the _xscale

Make an invisible MC called "spawn" and tell it to move to that?

on(release){
getURL("http://whatever.com", "_blank");
}

Well.....

onClipEvent (enterFrame){

_root.health--;
}
}
}

How does the lazer fire though?

I really like it :)

Best prototype.

Thats if you want to learn games/actionscript. Otherwise probably should go here.

Opps. Another fix

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x = _root._xmouse
this._y = _root._ymouse
if(this.hitTest(_root.cursor)){
nextFrame();
}
}

Possibly cos the coding is total crap?

17? Wtf? What did you mean by that?

What sort of style? Be more percific.

That is one cool squirel. But don't picture spam.

99% of all the flash artists on NewGrounds use Adobe Flash. You can get the free trial there or buy the full thing. However, Flash is pretty expensive so you might be interested in some alternatives. First off is the student version of flash(NB: You have to be student in the USA or Canada for this and you can not make profit off your works). You can also buy older or used versions of flash for alot cheaper than the huge $700. You might be able to find some of these by searching: Macromedia Flash Or Adobe Flash.

There are not only adobe programs. There are also some cheaper, but not as good, versions out there. Heres a list:

SWiSH Max - $100 (Free Trial)
ToonBoom - $399 (Free Trial)
LiveSWF - Free
KoolMoves - $59 (Free Trial)
SoThink - $85 (Free Trial)
Anime Studio - $49(Pro - $179) (Free Trial)

Once you've got yourself a program head over to the flash tutorial section and start learning flash.

There is no "Madness" preloader - but a madness day preloader. I don't think you can get it anymore.

What is it with you guys and madness?!

Yes.

I have never heard of this kind of game so I can't really tell how it would work out though.

IT would be really hard but you could do it. You would do it so as it goes up the imaginary z axis the depth changes. Then you could say something like if it hitTests and its depth is between whatever. Don't know how accurate this would be and it would almost certainly extremly difficult to play.

Sorry for double post >:(

There is no z-axis at all. You can go along the y-axis and you can go along the x-axis.

Also I am pretty sure this type of game is called a brawler.

What you should be saying is that there is no Z axis built into flash. However with quite alot of actionscript you can create one.

thanks.

'table_name' should be `table_name`

Also try:

$sql = 'CREATE TABLE `table_name` (
// all the stuff
)';

mysql_query( $sql);

what?

You draw it?

Do not do it like that. Its pointless. Just export as an image or publish as html.

And me (spoke to you on msn). I may do the preloader game like you said if my animation turns out crap :)

The hair is all in one mc. One on each frame. stop(); on each frame.
Then on arrows you have:

on(release){
_root.hair.nextFrame();
}

or

on(release){
_root.hair.prevFrame();
}

You could always of gone through the source code and copy and paste it all replacing /bbs/ links with http://newgrounds,com/bbs/ links by doing find and replace :)

Tutorials aren't that percific. Goto AS: Main or actionscript.org. Then once you know the basics you put them together.

they basically tell the compiler where a complete statement ends. this is common to a lot of programming languages. the convention is to put one statement on each line, and then cap off the line with a semicolon.

However semicolons are not vital in as. Whereas in other languages, php for example, they are.
