Nice art here, too bad you don't see too much of the actual thing with a 550 by 400 size.

Looks good. I Might make a pico day animation.

Is there any way to export everything that's "Exported for Actionscript" in the second frame, AFTER the preloader has kicked in, and that doesn't involve putting everything from your library into a movie clip (which would cause constructor problems)? I'm about to go postal :D

"MindChamber has put together some neato art" you made it sound like he half-assed a few sketches but this looks amazing.

The Pico day preloader looks awesome!
Only 6 more days till Pico day and counting down.

Wow, you guys (MindChamber) really outdid yourselves. It looks awesome. I've already added it to my game. I can't wait for Pico Day!

looks awesome

MC has done it again.

Very nice Mindchamber!

When you assign classes/linkages uncheck the box that says "export in first frame". Also, I guess your problem is that you're using coding from an external class file. Rather than having multiple frames assign everything to classes so you can add things dynamically:

playBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLIC K, clicked);

function clicked (e:MouseEvent):void{
stage.removeChild(PRELOADER);
stage.addChild(MENUSCREEN);
}

ETC.

Pretty cool Tom, pretty cool.

Why would you want a flash version?? I thought Tom and April already made a baby Pico IRL....ZING!

Can't wait for Pico Day Tom!

I'm already displaying everything dynamically. I know that unchecking "Export in first frame" makes my preloader kick in first. My problem is that unchecking "Export in first frame" makes my classes unusable. Putting everything in a huge movie clip is sloppy as fuck and I'm curious if Adobe put in anything to prevent this fucking mess

But that image is 450×325.. hmm.

Perfect timing. I just finished mine. FUCK YEAH.

Forgot something. MY ANIMATION has a makeout scene (yes), can I still use the flash ads? No dicks or anything... just some hot tongue action.

Yay, the "games with medals" collection is out!

AFAIK, no they haven't. As good as Flash is, there's still a lot of bugs and things not working as you'd expect. You could always code back to coding in the timeline rather than coding in external .as files. One thing I've learned about Flash is that there's no right or wrong way to work; as long it all compiles and it does what you you want it to do, you've done it right!

Thats cool, now if only I had something to submit? Good luck guys!!

Mindchamber wins. That preloader is awesome. Can't wait to see it in some of the upcoming pico movies. Don't forget to make them available for us ipod video owners.

arent you forgetting something tom *cough* *cough*

I don't like this primary lack of AS3 support, Tom! :P

Glaiel is doing an AS3 submission, I think, but he probably has his own preloader already.

Of course he did

I love how MindChamber made the pre-loader.
