Why would they do that?

Is that kind of language allowed? Name calling xD

F***erfreak. Simple?

This thread != funny.

You'd have to use a knife. On their lower arms.

Why would you want that? You can click on it, already. Does the name of the author influence whether you click it or not? If so, just add your favorite authors to your favorite authors list.

I've heard it's a website!
Anyways, I've never seen Twitter myself. Haven't ever visited the site.
It's just another useless thing.

My opinion.

I like NOD32 better, but Avast! is a great free program. I've heard it also checks for malware, which NOD doesn't do.

Wow, you've been able to get mod permission?
Anyways, great guidelines and rules setup, cool idea.
I might join it later on.

That would actually be pretty sweet actually. A few problems would arise though.

No, Kayn made sure there wouldn't.

well one of the big ones I need to figure out is how to make lines that are straight without using the pencil tool.

Take out the brush tool, click one point, press and hold down shift and then click another point. This draws a line between them.

Also, Photoshop version?

So no automatic way. Anyways, thx.

Thanks, but is there also a way to just delete a certain line, I'd prefer that.

Hello there, I haven't got any programming expierence aside from AS2 and I've started out with C++ 2 days ago.

Yes, I used the search.

What I'm trying to do, is show: "78% done", with the percentage increasing. Now, I know how to do this, but I do not know how to make it NOT start a new line everytime.
I know how to do:

1% done
2% done
3% done

etc....

I want to do:

1% done

But with 1 % increasing every x milliseconds (not necessarily actually something loading) and staying on one line.

I hope that someone can help me and that I did not explain too vaguely.

It's obviously interference with another part of the code. Show us your code?

AS2 or AS3?
Anyways, if you're using AS2, I assume you've got something like:

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
//blah
}

Make that something like:

if(!Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) && Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
//blah
}

Microwave Code Help

It happens more and more on the NGBBS forum 2 (AKA Flash forum). People get on the forums, say they've got a problem, someone else gives a code and says "That should do it.". It seems like nobody learns from their mistakes anymore, or gets told what he was doing wrong. Maybe it's more like MacDrive code help. </rant-ish-ness>

Lol new sig. If I said something strange, it's because I'm tired.

Cool, thanks. I'm thinking I'll just go back to Flash 8 for now and keep the other two installed in case I ever decide to try something new. Flash 8 was just extremely basic and I really like that. What kind of Action Script does it use though? I don't want to be limited to certain things because of something like that.

Flash 8 uses AS 1 or 2. Flash CS3 and 4 use AS 1,2 and 3. You'd better use Cs3 or 4, but if you're an animator, you don't really need CS3 that much. Flash 8'll do the trick, but CS4, like I said earlier, has the bone and 3d tool.

Just go inside the MC you want another MC to be in, then drag the MC you want to be in the MC you're currently in to the stage.

Heh.... long, confusing sentences.

I'm making a LOT and a LOT of dead MJ jokes. Even in my sig.

Anyways, nice screen of that chatroom.

Nice idea! The Flash drawing API is fun to toy with.

SwfCabin

Why's everyone posting their swf's at SwfCabin? What happened to STW?

It's more personal preference. Flash 8 looks a lot simpler to me. But I think you should use CS4. You'll just get used to it, it has the 3d and bone tool and you can use AS3 if you're ever going to code.

How do you access your array values?
I'm not that sure I can help (AS2 here), but try and give us as much info as possible.

No offense but your sig sucks.

I know. Let me just change it.

can I come back to you if I need any other coding help?

Did you learn ANYTHING at all from the post that solved your problem? The guy only gave you a code.
I'm sorry, he tried to help, but you're supposed to learn from your mistakes. A "microwave"-code isn't helping, now does it?
Sorry to be an ass like always, but... . .

Flash is the best animation program that I know of. The programming interface etc. sucks, but I like ActionScript. You can always use another program to code in, anyways. Also, does LiveSWF produce actual .SWF's?

To acces a variable that is inside another MC, you can put "_root." + the instance name of the MC, followed by the variable name. If you want to access the variable "variable1" from the MC "enemy", just use something like this:

if(_root.enemy.variable1 != 0){
_root.enemy.variable1 = 0;
}

If the variable is in a movieclip that's inside another MC, stack it. The most upper one first. MC "lawl" is inside MC "hello". On MC "lawl", there's the variable "haha".
So:

_root.hello.lawl.haha = 1002;

If you adress a distant variable often in your script, you can assign it to another variable:

onEnterFrame = function () {
	var movieclip = _root.lawl.variable1;
	trace(movieclip);
// I've already defined variable1.
};

But keep in mind that it's a lot better to keep your code together. Either on one MC or on the main timeline. In AS3, you can't even code on MC's.

What do you think? It's an emo site, the moderators don't WANT it to be secure, they don't want the banned persons to cut themselves...
