did my get in? or was it a bit sub par?

yeah same question, can you let us know who made the cut and who did'nt?

However, there is this weird problem where certain symbols in certain parts keep flashing and I don't know why this is happening. This might delay the collab slightly. So it might have to be submitted tomorrow (for definite).

Is it a problem with a certain file? Or perhaps someone's symbols were made weird?

And any clue on who will be co-authored?

yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a due to symbol naming

it appears completely normal on the stage, but when exported, it goes weird. There's probably a relatively easy fix for it though, i'll just have to mess around a bit. By the way, it's not to do with library conflict or anything.

not until i've sorted out all the parts.

So looking at the progress now, do you think it will be released today or tommorow?

Hmm. I hope you can get that funky flashing thing sorted out :) GL

i think i only used like 2 symbols in mine...so its probly not mine haha

best of luck !

Nick, did you get my preloader?

Check your email :)

I've gotta go to a party now, so at the small chance of me being a Co-Author I sent you a portal buddy request. Hope it's released when I come back :)

I feel like this is my fault, because my flash was doing something like that. When it was tested in Flash CS3, it worked fine, but when I played it with Flash Player after exporting, a bunch of my symbols just disappeared.

I actually found out that it was a problem with my flash player. I had someone else test it, and I used the swf on a different computer, and they both worked fine. The funny thing is, if I opened that flash up on Mozilla on MY computer, it actually works just the way it's supposed to, no problems or anything. Apparently Macromedia Flash Player 7 has a problem with something in my flash, but Mozilla doesn't.

that's why I hate using symbols. But I think a synbol might just have the same name as another one

Well if my part's in there I know it isn't my part. I named all my symbols something_ugha.

Yeah, the problem occurs on your part, De-Line's part and the preloader. But if you say it works fine on the internet, then there shouldn't be any problems.

I hate to be a pest when your trying to deal with this issue. But is their anyway to know what parts are in and what parts ar'nt?

congrats on your successful collab. I enjoyed watching it. :D

I dunno what's going on, but if it's problematic, go ahead and cut mine from the final take. I got what I wanted from this collab already.

That flashing is most likely anjd exporting error. You see, sometimes people might export a flash as Flash Player 8 while someone else has it set to Flash Player 7. I think everyone should go top their FLA, go to Publish Settings under FILE, and change it to Flash Player 8 and then send nick the files again. This Should take care of the problem.

That would explain why Flash Player 7 wasn't able to play my .swf correctly. Resent per instruction, crossing my fingers.

so when do you reckon it will be done? lol

maybe you could remake the symbols?

Ok, the flashing symbol problem is fixed :)

the collab will be finished tonight

Yayyyy!!

A CELEBRATION I SAY!!!
