You can probably just have two separate SWFs then load them using loadMovie(), since you can't decide which part of a single SWF is loaded first.

That sort of defeats the point of a preloader.

The only animation aspect you'll just miss are filters. Then again, there are many great animations out there which doesn't even use filters at all, like Xiao Xiao.

Castle Crashers would most likely be done using XNA, which is based off C#.

There is NO info on KH3.

What you've seen is either the trailer for KH: 358/2 Days (DS) or KH: Birth By Sleep (PSP), or maybe KH: Coded (mobile).

Well, I guess the permanent fix would be to restart it all over without copying the MCs; just the frames.

Or code inside the ball...

It happens even if you don't use scenes, and it's annoying.

The only way to temporarily fix this is to reopen all movieclips that are blinking. But even if you save your *.fla after doing that then reopen and publish it, it'll appear again, so you'd have to do it every time.

Bamboo Fun tablets are intended for casual use, and are the cheapest range by Wacom.

Graphires are more for hobbyists, or those who can't afford an Intuos.

Intuos is the ace of spades and is more for professional use.

Go study the basics of coding instead of copy pasting code.

removeMovieClip() only works for MCs which have positive depth.

Use swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth()) before that.

Look up "shape hints".

Start with either of the two (or both):

"Dodgey" Flash 8 that you "downloaded".

You're going down!

Put the hittesting code inside the movie clip, as in not using an onClipEvent handler.

Sorry, but we see these "go animate/code my idea for a movie/game" topics too often.

Doesn't sound like you're doing anything special, and judging from your post, you don't seem anything like a spectacular writer either.

Audio editor.

Flash can't read mp3s whose bitrates are too high. Doing what I told you will fix it.

And please, if you don't know where to get Audacity, GOOGLE.

Get Audacity.

Import then export the said mp3.

Not to mention it only supports AS1.0, and you'd have to go to great lengths to get decent framerate.

Kongregrate, though they demand a 1-week exclusivity, but after that you're free to go, unless you agreed to an exclusive license (bigger pay / portion of ads).

ArmorGames too I presume.

Call the Adobe customer support. Best thing you've got.

Should be a tab under the color pane. Swatches, I think.

Because the ring is still there, you just can't see it. Going to a blank keyframe or turning down the alpha to make the ring disappear won't work, because it's still there to activate hitTests. Common mistake early comers.

Research on removeMovieClip().

This is just for an animation, right? No need for codes. Plus, setInterval() was only a theory; I've never tried it myself.

To give you an idea about increasing frames:

You'll see I merely increased the space between the keyframes. Same amount of keyframes, but more frames in between.

If it's (frame-by-frame) FBF, you'll have to draw more frames to keep it looking smooth. Tweening will do that automatically for me.

Since it's just animation, you can simply increase the frames. Like, if it's tweening or FBF just put a bigger gap between the keyframes.

If it's a game, then it'll be tricky. I've never done an on-demand slo-mo effect for games (like bullet-time). I suppose you could play around with setInterval() but that doesn't increase the frames between keyframes; it can, at best, just play clips slower, so they'll move wonkily.

clip.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDept h());
clip.removeMovieClip();

Well... how do you expect anyone to help you without you providing any details on which part's giving you trouble?

Not exactly a "my first tablet sketch" anymore, so I started a new topic.

This time I used a reference. ^_^

Higher Res

Was wondering where my topic went, lol.

Anyways, one of my first try at a tablet (first time I used one, barring a tablet PC). It's a 6x8 graphire4 I borrowed from my cousin for about a week. :D

My impressions:
- Adopting isn't THAT bad/hard.
- When it comes to perfect (straight/curve) stuff, I'd prefer the mouse. But when it comes to organic/sketchy looks, using a tablet is 10x better.
- FBF animation is like a million times easier and more convenient with a tablet. :D

I'm gonna save up for a 4x5.

From what I can tell, you simply drew them on paper.

Draw the storyboard on Flash, then start doing each scene by drawing keyframes. Once you've finished keyframes, that's when you'd start being an "in-between" animator, which is simply drawing frames between keyframes to smoothen the animation. After finishing that, you clean up the lines, then finally apply color.

That's how traditional works anyway.
