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)

hey newgrounders...i need some help
im writing a game where it requires a name entry and i need to check if the person typed anything in the field...heres what i've tried and for some reason it won't work...maybe you guys could help me
if(_root.player_name==""){
_root.oops="put in a name";
}else{
_root.gotoAndPlay("main");
}

as a PS to this, it would be 100% more helpful if someone could also show me how to limit the length of the player name in question

thanks all

thanks dude...that worked great

okay...well...im making this game and i need to have a "total skill" value which is the 3 skills added together and divied by 3...i can't seem to figure this out..
i've tried _root.overall=_root.skill1+_root.skill2+
_root.skill3/3
and: _root.overall=(_root.skill1+_root.skill2 +_root.skill3)/3
but all of these keep returning the value 0
i have the variable names on all the text boxes and when i test the game, the values for each individual skill raises, i just can't figure out this part.
plz help newgrounders
from a fellow programmer in peril, plz, plz help

hey all...i need some help with the random command..
i need to make a random number BETWEEN 10 and 20...
i tried random(10, 20) but it says i can only put in one value
is there a way to do what i need?
plz help

0.o

the thing that you mentioned...will that do it GRADUALLY or just pop the guy there?

okay so i've found other tuts on random AI movement, but it's not what i want...i basically want something like this:

ranWalk=random(4);

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.ranWalk==1 & _root.this._y!=100){
//go up until it reaches the 100 Y coordinate;
}
}

if you still don't get what i mean...the character has to move in 4 different directions (up, down, left, and right)...he starts at the Y200...if the random number == 1, that means he walks up until he hits the Y100....but my question is this:

How do you gradually decrease/increase the coordinates?

i can't tween him inside the movie clip because it has to be the size of the character....i know how to just place him at the coordinates...i just don't know how to "gradually decrease/increase" them

pleeasee help

thanks,
Ben Wagner

if you mean you want an action to happen if the key is NOT being pressed, then i think this should work:

if(!KeyisDown(8)){
//stuff here//;
}

the "!" in front of the "KeyisDown" means if the key is not down, do this action

hope this helpz

wait...my bad...they're both submitted by the same guy...he just doesn't have a number in the title or whatever and doesn't imply it's a sequel...(which it's not) he just submitted it twice...don't i feel like an ass?

i found 2 games just recently and they are both submitted by different people...the only difference i can see in the game is the fact that they used different thumbnails....i wasn't sure what to do so i figured i would make a forum post and possibly bring this to the attention of a mod or something...b/c i hate stealers!!

anyway...here are the 2 games

actually, those outfits you listed don't seem to sound bad...on the right person, i guess...but fashion itself is silly b/c the outfits are usually crazy and look completely stupid when they come out but then everybody's minds are warped into thinking they look "cool" b/c of the media

so do your thang dude...just make sure you're doing it well enough to still get laid
xD

haha...been playing CoD too much, maybe?
but anyway...i don't think it means anything...they're just deams...i had lots of dreams about WoW when i was really heavy into it lulz
xD

my friends tell me its because i say all the wrong things at all the right times...but i always have time alone b/c my mom is a DJ and works all the time and i just leave the house whenever i please without saying anything but all my buddies tell me it would be entirely possible if i would just stfu and think about what i'm saying...but...alas...i don't
xD

okay...its been a bit so for those of you that don't know, i'm trying to use xmlsockets
so BUMP, nukka!

well i can assume that the way you are playing your movie, then, is by pressing enter (or rather, just not doing a ctrl+enter)....just press enter again and the sound should stop

or you could do ctrl+enter

hope i helped

maybe i tried that you cynical dick-monkey

i don't know if anyone else has this problem but a lot of times when i cook noodles, they end up extremely soggy and mushy...and when i strain them, sometimes theres a thick goo that is stuck on the underside of the strainer...this happens about 50% of the time i cook noodles...is it because i'm cooking it too long or maybe the water temp. is too high??

someone plz help me out!
thx
