nope.
you might as well copy the frames to another layer on your main timeline.
learn to work in layers, rather than mc's.

Well, the final call was made and the verdict is in!

fuck you all.

Chippy, we'll keep in touch over facebook
Lukas, i'll be seeing you around irc

WHY. HELLO. THERE.
:)

everybody that wants to be in this thing reply right-fucking-now.
not enough people within the next 3 or 4 days and i'm officially forgetting this thread/collab. sorry.

lukas, it seems you're the only other person that really gives a shit, so sorry about this, but hey, whatever, we can still collab at FA ;D

I just don't see the point for me anymore... besides, I'd like to get into 3D modelling stuff now... or something like that.

... i still do that .____.
i probably *save* one out of every 200 fla's i start .___.
like i'm not even joking.
and these might be fla's i've been working on for a few hours and i just end up not saving them because i simply don't think they're adequate.
i guess you just have to be in the mood to animate to actually animate as well as you know you can.

don't give up!

ps. GOT MY COMPUT.RAR BACK BITCHEZ <3

Well, I've officialy given up on flash. I fucking fail and haven't learned anything. Bye.

Join fluidanims.
it'll do you a shitload of good.

i've seen people much worse than you go to being much better than anyone in this thread within the month.
if you actually put in the time/effort, and follow everybody's advice and criticism, you could be great.

Just don't give up.

the entire issue is that you cannot check for contact between the true shapeflags of both objects. You can test a true shapeflag against a bounding box or a true shapeflag against a point. Not a true shapeflag against another true shapeflag, which we game designers need oh so badly.

Very stupid imo, could probably be done by adobe but meh, what are you gonna do?

guys, i finally decided to do something about my computer.
all it took was an hour long call to hp, i feel really stupid, i should have done something about it earlier.

oh well. i'm lazy as fuck.
anyway, like i said, when i get my computer working again, this place better come back to life.

i did that in about 3 minutes :/
i don't have my tablet hooked up to this computer, and it's damn near impossible to do brush with this piece of shit mouse so i used line.
just seeing if i still remember how to animate xD
this is after over 2 months of not touching flash at all >.>

:D:D:D:D:D:D
haha yeah, i understand, just clear whatever's on your plate for now and when you want to make a part for this, do a few simple tests in 18 fps before you start it.
Keep in mind, being flexible in your framerate is also a skill animators should work on. Have you tried making 12 fps look fluid? It may sound so, but it isn't easy. There's nothing wrong with having a preferable fps, but it shouldn't be to the point where you simply cannot animate in other fps's. Also, starting with something as high as 24 is definitely a good thing, although it does have it's downsides. Trying to keep your animations fluid at lower fps's is going to be difficult now. I know you're probably thinking, "starting? I'm not starting, you silly goose, i've been animating longer than this and now i'm just switching!"
Well, i say starting because you're animating differently now. I can see that you understand that animating, even with sticks, takes a lot more effort than you had originally thought, and I could easily say that everything you've animated before now was simply training and familiarizing yourself with the program. You've left the nub wagon my friend :D

Seeing so much improvement in you like that is really awesome :)

And I'm glad to see you here too! :D:D:D

nice to see you're still around.

My computer is still fucked.
to say the least, i'm disappointed.
this thing shouldn't have been thrown into a coma as soon as i left.
My computer may be fixed sometime soon, so i'm checking in to clear up anything i need to since i left.

To the right size, frame rate etc. 9.9 secs.

No.

I've been improving like a freaking mother. This is my most recent animation. I guess I'll need to make another part for this to ensure its survival.

Jesus, Schmastalukas, FA did you a lot of good. :)
you've improved a shitload since last time i was around here. I'm assuming you'll want to retract your previous entries and work on some nice new ones?
As soon as i get my computer up and running again, i'm planning to throw this thing into full speed. So hopefully you'll have something. :D

Btw, you should know who the music is by.

Rust. I'm sorry, that's not good enough.
Keep working.
Too wobbly, you're not putting as much effort into it as you should be.

Don't worry, I'll be whipping this shit into shape after my computer's working again. I'm crippled right now, but i plan to finish this.

I'd love to see a few parts by you, but i'm holding myself down to the menu.

Alright, i'll be dropping by periodically to make sure everything's in check.
As soon as my computer is running again, everyone has to cut the shit and get to work otherwise the collab will be released without them.

Bump. Come on, guys. I can't do anything at all while my computer is out of commission, but i expect you all to either be practicing or working on your entries.

Listen guys, my computer is fucked. I won't be around as much, but hopefully it'll be fixed within the next couple weeks. Sorry.

Haha, don't sweat it. If it weren't for my awesome semester, I'd be drowning in work too.
nice to know you're still around. ;D

gaah sorry i flipped out there.
It's alright MM9, you've done tons of work for this. Focus on your schoolwork.
If MrRandomist could either get list of all the members or all the parts from you, then everything is settled. You didn't by any chance have a menu finished, did you?

i was about to say there might be something wrong with your tablet, but seeing as how the blobs only appear at the very end and very beginning of all your strokes, it's most likely a user error. Stop pressing so hard when you touch down/lift off.

There is a chance that it may be the program itself, but to be honest, I don't think that's the case.

Lost interest? And what happens to all the hard work that went into this? This is fucking ridiculous, man. I can't believe you would let us all down like this.

I'm just really disappointed.

haha, alright. :P
Send me the ones you want me to put in when you have them done :)

the AS method would be preferred. If you can't manage to make it work by yourself, use a vcam. Vcam basically utilizes that same AS except it has a vgui.

1. His name is KingKombat.
2. Shit went down, I'm in charge now.
3. Everybody makes it to the extras, so you'll definitely be in if you want to be.
4. Music won't be necessary, I'll be adding music over everyone's parts later on.

Wow we're at the 50th page.

Sorry kong, that's not quite up to par either....
i can add both you and splurda to the extras section if you like.

It all depends on you guys. And I hope you guys are ready, i'm going to be throwing down a deadline when you least expect it. I won't be giving any updates on my own parts or the menu/credits, but as soon as i'm done, you'll all have two weeks, and no more than two weeks to finish and submit all parts.

Don't think for a second that i've forgotten about this.

And sorry splurda, but no, still not exactly up to par. And yeah, I've drastically changed the standard of this series. If you'd like, i'd be glad to include anything of yours in the extras portion of the collab... i've set aside another bit for those who didn't make it.

Gust, you have quite the reputation here, you don't declare your variable types?

The advantage is not that you wouldn't have to look through all your mc's/frames for your codes, that's just a convenience. Also, whoever said C++ style, shut the fuck up. You don't even know how retarded that sounds :/

The real advantage is that, this way, you would be able to place a block of actionscript on an mc that was generated by actionscript itself
THAT'S something that you cannot do any other way.

Also, apart from that, it's just good practice. Coding is generally more flexible this way.

just kiddin' braah ;P

if you don't plan on trying out for the collab or talking about something relevant to the collab or it's users, you can just leave.
I don't appreciate you advertising yourself and your work when it is unnecessary in our thread.
