Make the background have a tint of white so the foreground (part the you use and want to see) is clearer and easier too read. If having trouble, ask RubberNinja becasue he is the one who taught me this at his animation class.

Well, you could use this code:

music = new Sound(this);
music.attachSound("song");
music.start(0, 9999999);

You'd replace "music" with whatever you want (doen't matter really) and replace "song" with whatever your imported music file's identifier is in its linkage settings. To do this, go to the file in your library, open its Linkage, check Export for ActionScrit and Export in First Frame, and then set the identifier.

Well, can you try to get it to work in my game? Fla is above.

I was wanting to incorporate this song:

into the Mental Madness spot.
Here is the fla
If anyone can help me, please do.
All I want is to play the song when I click the button (which is generated by actionscript).

ummm, this is not 'your' game you cant steal someone elses property, and it would not look good to people playing the collab knowing that it has someone elses game. sorry if you dont make something from scratch then you cant be in.

And then the second one goes normally, and it loops, and then once the first one is finished again, youll be sent to another mini part?

Sounds good, i like the idea!

You know that electric yellow thing you said you could not go past by?
Well, something weird happened to it so that it doesnt show up at the right time so that part will be easy now, its ok if that part stays easy right?

it depends how good does it look without it

Also you know, this isnt supposed to be like a level progressing game, its more of a score one, so i understand i should add more to make it challenging, but ill leave 800 points to be the required to win, so it wont be frustrating, even though youll need like 1400-1800 points until the games loops, ;)

Yeah i know, its just that it feels like it needs to be a great game and so people dont get bored of the game and its sad if we get bad reviews because of the some games having repetitiveness then the whole collab is rated down by one part, it sucks i know but ive run two collabs and they mostly judge by the worst game. This is not saying your game is bad im just being a harsh critic on how others will judge your work when the time comes, and people will be picky =)

I need some help so I can get it done. Please?

What do you need help with? If it has to do with coding, I can't help you :C But i'll still hear you out, and try to help :3 Also, here's what I have done so far me and kris's game: yush. Tell me what I can improve on, and i'll take your words into consideration.

ok, i will be a harsh critic again, the walls with the 1000's of lines looks too busy and not very nice, you've got a really nice style of the glossy diffrent variations of one could and it looks nice stick with it dont ruin it by those lines, i really liked the count down part. The instructions part i didnt like please try a few variations see what looks nice.
Looking forward to seeing the rest

Ah, the sidewalks? Alright, i'll add more shading onto them, and less lines :) I'll also edit the instructions menu. The countdown is my personal favorite, also.

Ok. Then I am out. COUNT ME OUT.

Bye :(

Hey, JPB! I sent you the FLA for the boss, and here's a sample SWF (watch till the end for a big laser and such.)

[boss sample]

Hey, is it ok if it is not the finished mini-game, just a test level?

Here's an idea...
Turn the credits into a mouse avoider?

That is a great idea! MrRandomist! You should do that. Make it ALL interactive, including the credits!

Ok. here is a test level.
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/011009/3 2721_mini_game_collab.php
Move with arrow keys. Shift is run, Z is jump.

This is not the finished thing. This is just a test level. Programming is not 100% done. Nor graphics. These are from Metal Slug. They are just very good. I am using them to help me with programming so I can tell what is happening. I will be usin gmy own artwork for the game.

Please keep me in!

Ps: If you think this is from that game I am helping Cococokie is, it isn't. i just used the sprites and re-wrote the program myself. I did this all! Other then the sprites and background

Sorry. here it is with your specifications. (Same game, just with your specifications):

Yes, thats the whole point really show little increments of your game till its done try and get feed back from it.

Yeah that's a cool idea!
I'll try it out, see how it could work
thanks for that

Yeah it is, ill out a few things and see what would be the best but i'll definitely make it interactive

Hmmm, ill keep you on, and could you change running to A and S to Jump that would be great!
otherwise vise versa, also the health packs are a little slow to being picked up.
And i kinda like the sprite, but we'll see, just finish the game first.

Thanks.

Much better i like the zoom on the char and it would be cool if the camera went slightly with to make it feel more impact, there is a way around this and that is use a Tween. ive done that before
keep it up

Thanks. I will change them now.

Can we use v-cam?

Sorry. I know we can probably use a type of v-cam, but what do you mean by the tweening and more impact? Like on the camera when something happens? I don't get it. Please explain.

And I have changed the buttons.

Yep, the previous one used 3 of them so thats no problem you just gotta know how to implement it properly

WOOHOO!!!
Air Runner v3.1 BETA is friggin' here!!!

SWF cabin:
http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1254659456

SpamTheWeb:
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/041009/3 6331_AirRunner_v3.1_BETA.php

To do list:
--Change the minimun points to win from 600 to 800 (in the how to play it says 800, but in the game its 600, oops) its an easy thing to do though.
--Do any improvements such as:
-Make the missile appear later in the game, rather right at the start...
-Make the boss appear 2 times (once arround 1200 (where it currently is) another arround 2400)
-remenbered i forgot to make it so after the boss the traps keep coming, instead of the boss
going again and again (i should ahve done this before uploading, but im lazy, LOL)
-Make you guys my glitch finding slaves

So the game is pretty much done, just some small things i forgot to do before i uploaded, wont have much time in the week, but im sure that it will be complete with all bug fixes by next sunday :D

to do list-
Make the missile explode, instead of dissapear into thin air
and it would be better if the missile was later in the game as you mentioned

Could i use the same one from the ship explodin?
Cuz i received it without an exploding animation...

Jut did everything except the missile stuff..., why? Cuz i just received a missile exploding from pahgawk...
