No I didn't. Tried that several times before and just did it again just to be sure, but no difference. Same error.

Hi, how was your Tuesday? What happened? :3 There was alot of sunshine in the Netherlands. Bit of rain.

So you want a random (out of 5) MC to spawn, one per 5 seconds?

Hi guys, I'm kinda in need of some help here. I've downloaded the AS2 vCam from here. I'm using AS2, Flash 8.
I used it before and never had any problems with it, but now I have. When I hit CTRL+ENTER , I got these errors:

**Error** Symbol=VCam_AS2, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 18: Syntax error.
     import flash.display.BitmapData;

**Error** Symbol=VCam_AS2, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 52: '{' expected
     onEnterFrame = function ():Void {

**Error** Symbol=VCam_AS2, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 54: Unexpected '}' encountered
     };

Total ActionScript Errors: 3 	 Reported Errors: 3

I copied and pasted the vCam MC from the downloadable .FlA to my project. Any idea what's wrong? I'm guessing interference by something else in my Flash, since it worked before and it works in the source .fla as well. Any help greatly appreciated.
What I think is relevant code(on the first frame in the vcam MC):

import flash.display.BitmapData;

//..... some stuff here

onEnterFrame = function (): Void {
	camControl();
};

I'm not so sure wheter Tom reads my PM. I'm sure he gets alot of stupid PMs with requests to do something, like delete a submission or something. Anyways, PM'd.

Btw I know who Tom is >:O

Why are there 13 ads or something on the Gamespage? At least there were 2 days ago.

You can always change your name.

Since when's that? How?

It's a good thing you took comfort in death. It means you've got a strong personality.

Every time i read it i read "Who knows me U do" :)

xD
It's Who Knows Me Audio as I thought I'd never buy Flash and just make stupid music.

RedHarvest can get an exception though. Just ask a mod, tell him as much as you can and maybe you're allowed to.

Please do so on me :( I notice that I flame a lot, don't want to. I want to help, but I often just do more bad than good.

Bcause I didn't think about my name that much, duh. When I signed up, I didn't expect to make friends (or enemies) here, nor did I think NG was gonna be something I was gonna hooked up to for a long time.

Thanks! I just needed the last random word for my "Random word generator" game.

I think that's what your blog is for, but there is no rule saying you can't.

Try the 30-day-trial of Flash. To get started, go here.

Try doing this:

1. Right click on the song in the library, and choose 'Properties'.
2. If the check box that says 'Use imported MP3 quality' is checked, uncheck it.
3. Under 'Compression', choose 'MP3'
4. Under 'Bit rate' choose '64kbps'
5. Under 'Quality' choose 'best'
6. Uncheck 'Convert stereo to mono' and click 'OK'
7. Put the sound in to the animation by putting a keyframe and dragging the sound file onto the stage from the library.
8. Select the keyframe the sound is on, and go to the Properties panel (Ctrl+F3)
9. Under 'Sync:' choose 'Start'

That should do it, I guess. Tell me if it works.

I'm not an animator, but i think you should create a storyboard before doing anything, then you can get voices from that and animate at the same time. Maybe it's just personal preference.

You didn't get a good impression of me, did you? Well I guess that's how anybody sees me. I hate the fact that I criticize others in a negative way, I'm trying to improve there.

There should be a better approach, but I always write the text, break it up and arrange the letter manually. But don't do that. It sucks, just like me.

Yeah I did read the whole thread. Please provide any kind of evidence that I didnt. I cant even see where anyone made the same point you quoted, and even if they did, so what? Im not allowed to agree?

I never said you didn't? Oh and yes I know I criticize people. Guess I should change my aura to dark then, shouldn't I?

The code i'm using for the ground is this one...

}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
air = false;

...I tried re-wording it to make a wall hit test but failed. I don't know if i need to put the code on the wall or on the player it's self =/

I think you should put it in the player MC, as that code checks if another MC touches THIS one, so with this, it means player so it should be in the player MC.

Well maybe it was just a copy/paste error, but you gotta close your if statement.
if(rr){
should be close with }

//example:
if(_x == _root.char._x){
_x --
}
// not:
if(_x == _root.char._x){
_x --

You should try making a wall MC on the frame, instance named as "wall1" and then put this code:

while (_root.wall1.hitTest(this._x, this._y+this._height/2-1+yspeed, true)) {
        yspeed--;
    }
    while (_root.wall1.hitTest(this._x-this._width/2+1+xspeed, this._y, true)) {
        xspeed++;
    }
    while (_root.wall1.hitTest(this._x+this._width/2-1+xspeed, this._y, true)) {
        xspeed--;
    }

Not too sure wether this works or not.

I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I think you do, most of the time. Unless you've had some medicinal herbs. What I saw from hereare
alot of useless posts though. (I did NOT compare this to my own posts ;) )

If you've done your own search, found a helpful resource and want to share it, then fine, but telling people to fuck off and search on their own helps nobody.

I don't tell them to fuck off. I try to help them at first, but also tell them to search Google from now on, with the basic stuff like buttons. Example:

(Guy): Hi guys, I'm kinda new to Flash and I want to get into programming. I tried to make a button, but it isn't working, (code)
(Me): Well what you're doing wrong is .... , you should be doing .... (Blah example code blah) ...But try and google from now on first, before you post.

Is this okay?

I agree, telling people to "google it you lazy fucks" isn't helpful at all, why bother trying to help people if all you're gonna do is tell them to fuck off and use a different resource.

What if you do both? Tell them to google from now on but tell them what they want to know anyways? :3

I think these tags messed up. :/
