Also, set the main song to stream so it syncs.

Say Mexi, what did you think of my icon I submitted back on page 18?

I like that one...

Yeah man, the icon is a really important part of a flash submission. Because when this collab gets on the frontpage, the icon's appeal is very important to how many views we get, you know what I'm saying?

I know exactly what your saying.
I'm stuck between Ironosaur's Toblorone's. :/

If anyone sees MichaelHurst online, get his ass here.

My ass is here.

The song is set on stream so thats not why it lags.

Once I put the menu in I will send it to mexifry and see if he can help with the syncing.

ACDPM compression at 4 when exporting?

Good god. It's not that bad...
Is it?
I bet if you sent it to me, I could figure it out.
I'm a whiz at audio/visual synchronization.

I can think of at least 3 ways that stuff is out of sync.

I just sent it to mexi. If he can't get it worked out I'll have him send it to you because I think hes going to try to do some other stuff.

Dude, Ironosaur's icon is obviously perfect. I was going to make one, for kicks, and when I saw that one I scratched the idea. I really like it a lot. *thumbs up*

That was basically my idea, but a lil' different (I would have added the sea at the back) :)

Well thanks! I designed that icon with LOVE and CARE!

Also, It occurred to me that Toblorone's is a low-quality GIF file. I mean, I think the image in itself is neat, the icon just needs to be of a bit higher quality. maybe more detail too? And, in my opinion, it looks at bit unprofessional to have the name of the collab in the preview image. Just a thought.

I can try and give you a psd template of my icon and see if you can mess around with it, but the layers may have been merged. Also, as I DO remember, there are so many filters present in that little 46 by 46 pixel image you'd believe that I broke gravity. Which I have done multiple times.

I'm going to go with Ironosaur's Icon. :)

Also Ironosaur, OH GOD HELP ME WITH THE SYNCING!

Okay. Let's see here. I got two days to fix this thing up.

You could try sending it to me, yeah. Can't promise if I'll find the time to do something with it, though. Let's see ;)

Hahaha, I feel for ya man. Sometimes I abuse a bit too much of filters too, no matter how small the picture may be. Gotta look perfect, right?

Whoopee!

Report all the bugs you can find so we can fix them!
I know there is a bug about the credits button not going to the credits part, and there are some issues with the pre-loader. Hmph.

Yeah, I've been having troubles with your preloader. I don't know whats wrong with it.

But it looks beautifully synced, good job :D.

Really good I found some bugs though
1 Credits button doesn't work
2 Credits loop

The song starts to repeat itself toward the end.
Also when the credits finish, they just repeat themselves, rather than going to the menu.

Something I wasn't designated to fix. maybe tomorrow.It's getting late and I must finish my homework.

Alright.
I can try to get someone to fix that so you can relax.

Once again, you don't know how thankful I am. :)

Yup, that was my fault. Sorry.

It shouldn't be tough. Just go into the credits movieclip and go to the last frame and change whatever I have there to:

_root.gotoAndStop("menu");

and make sure the first frame has the name "menu" without the quotations.

What one will it fix?
The credits repeating, or the song repeating a bit towards the end?
Sorry I am a complete actionscript n00b. :p

The credits repeating.

The song repeating near the end would be because all the parts put together are longer than the song. If you want that to not happen go to the bottom layer (the one with the invisble MC) and go into the invisible MC. On the last frame put:

stopAllSounds();

But then there will be a small silence at the end.

Cna I just give it back to you so you can fix all these code things?
im afraid I'll screw it all up. :P

All I'm really glad for is that the syncing is good. The matter of the buttons and the looping can easily be fixed with just a modification of the code. I bet I could fix the preloader all by myself, I just need more time with the fla. Just fix everything else first though! Le wink!
-Iron

G'night.

Well, good job on fixing the syncing. It's perfect now :)

The bugs I found have already been mentioned, so they're probably being worked on. The only detail that I see amiss is that the nametag in my part is still in lowercase...

When I sent it, I used an specific font, which I remember sending. I think the font was ALL CAPS by itself, so that might be why, now that for some reason you used a default font, it turned all lowercase. Can whoever that's managing the .fla please, if it's not much to ask, use a pixel-like font for it? I don't know what happened to the one I sent, so just anyone you think that looks good. And if the font isn't ALL CAPS, either capitalize the whole name or just YoungAndWise?

Thanks :D

Can someone send me the whole FLA. and I'll fix all the glitches (because somehow the menu is now glitchy when it should be fine) and the credits glitch at the end and I'll neaten some other stuff up. I can send back the .swf when I'm done if you want so you want have to accept a massive FLA.
