the reason for the invites is so that assholes won't flood the site and never seed, so fucking seed.

hey man...i DO seed...i've been torrenting for years and i know how to not be a dick...even if i didn't, i would get banned...theres a thing on demonoid that shows if you've been seeding or not...they would ban me............but..........they won't

WackyAnimation was kind enough to give me a code...so everyone...go look at his page!

thanks

yes because i just got a comment from one of the members that said "fuck you" like a hundred times and all of my scores dropped severely

hey all...i was wondering...
everytime i vote low (like a "0") on a kitty krew movie (or a similar group), they always know i did and vote low on all my submissions...i can't find out how they're doing this since i don't review, i just vote...plz tell me cuz this is some bull! voting is supposed to be private

the only way i can possibly think of is that tom fulp is pulling a 'september 11th' on newgrounds...what i mean is the NG mods ARE the [KK]...just a conspiracy theory for ya
=]

but yea...anyone know how they're doing it?

hey all..i have a slight dilemma
i have a game im working on and its got some variables...i also have a MC inside the game that needs to display the variable values but it isn't working...heres what i did:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.my_variable=_root.my_variable;
}

it will show the variable when it was first established, but if i change it in the game, it remains the same...plz help
=]

im obviously still connected to the internet but the only place i can use it is in my browser

and the issue isn't the firewall, i know how to forward ports

hey guys, i got a question.
ever since i got a virus and had to re-install windows, i havn't been able to run any applications that require the internet (except for my web browser)
for instance: AIM, WoW, Full Tilt Poker
i used to be able to run all of them before i re-installed but now i get an error about the internet connection
can someone plz help or tell me whats wrong?
plz
thx
=[

i figure i should give this a bump cuz i still havn't figured out how to do it

well..no
but the weird thing about this is that on the next frame after you enter your text, theres a dynamic text box that displays what you entered and THAT box shows what you entered but if i put a MC that checks what you entered, nothing happens

where my_text_box is the instance name of your text box which in on _root

i just now tried that and it didn't work...if it means anything, it's an INPUT box
it's not dynamic or static

i am trying to do something like this:
(this is the best way i can explain it)
if(_root.my_text_box==something){
//do stuff//
}else{
}

newgrounders!
plz help!
i am trying to make a command that checks if a player entered something in a text field and if it's the right thing, something happens, if not, nothing does
however, when i traced what the input box equaled, i got <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="20" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">text here</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
how do i do what i need to?!?!
plz help NG!
thx
=P

for me, it took a month or so to make most of my games, HOWEVER, i would like to add that i am an extreme slacker...i usually work maybe and hour or two every other day...so a focused person could do a simple game in, say, a week or two....at least a decent one, anyway

i'm using AS2 in CS4

for me, yes
it just feels awesome to get an idea of how to program something right in the middle of my day...i take out my pen and jot down my code...it fills me with happiness

i don't assume anything is spam before i give it a whirl
besides...just because you took months on it doesn't mean anything negative...that could just mean it's a great game

help me plz!
i am working on an mp3 player for my newest game but i don't know how to see whether or not a track is playing...what i need to do is: once the first track is done, the code sees that there is no sound playing and goes to the next track
pwease help me newgrounders
=/

okay...well both people told me something i already knew...what i need to do is be able to enter the cheat using no text box in the middle of gameplay...for instance, the game recognizes the player pressed "i" then "m" then "acheater" in that order...then the variables are updated...i already know how to do this using a dynamic text box...but for this, i don't want to use any text box

hey all...im just wondering how i can make "type-able" cheat codes in my flash game
for instance...if the player would type "imacheater" in order, the game would give you 10k
is this possible to do?
plz help newgrounders!
thanks

newgrounders!
i've played the games that have the new "medal system" in them and i really, really want to put medals in my new game...how do i do this (if possible)?
thanks
=]

no..the way i did it is i have an input field with the var "player_name" and if that box is empty, it shows up in a dynamic text box with "input a name plz" (or something like that)
