Do you want help from your fellow animators? I don't voice act but can help with your voice overs.

Yeah I second that, man.
I can do some voice acting for you if you need it. I have a pretty good mic.

My mic isn't all that great, but if you happen to need another voice actor, I'd be happy to contribute. :)

How do you produce these master pieces so quickly?

Wouldn't it be cool if the theme for the next round was robots, so that we could participate in this competition as well as Robot Day? :)

Just finished watching the new Eddsworld...
I'm in that weird melancholy state right now... but it sure did motivated me to keep on going with NATA!
Let's do this!

Let me straighten this out - Edd himself didn't want the show to end - It was one of his last wishes before passing out...

I just saw it as well. It's the funniest one yet. NOW I AM INSPIRED.

Damn those hand stretches work like magic. Back to work for me!

eLphant indeed

You know what we should all really do? We should put all put a link to the Newgrounds: The Forsaken City Kickstarter at the ends of our videos. Tom's probably pretty worried that they won't make their goal. He's even got an advertisement for it on the top righthand corner of the website.

He'd really appreciate it, don't you think?

Really good idea !!

I'd do it. I gotta learn how to link buttons to urls but I'll do it.

Maybe someone can help me with a sound issue. When I export an .swf, the sound becomes a noticeably lower quality. I've tried messing around with the compression settings in the properties for each of the sounds, but it doesn't seem to help.

Go into file --> publish settings. It should open up some exporting options(the first should be swf, I think). go into the tab at the top labeled flash, then you should see something on the box about audio settings. Click on both of those, then up the bit rate option from 16kbps(which is WAAAAAY too low) to something more reasonable like 32 or 64.

screen I'm talking about should look a little like this(it varies a little per version of flash you have).

That worked. Thanks :)

ive never learned to put links (facebook, twitter, etc) to the flash files, i tried once, but didnt work, it worked on my computer, but not on newgrounds :s. How can i do it ?

What version of actionscript are you using? AS2 or AS3?

I'm not as familiar with AS2, but I can make a video tutorial if you want

that would be amazing : O, could you ?

wait :s that will take time out of your animating schedule :s

It's okay. It really shouldn't take too long. Plus, all I have left to do is background painting. :)

Once JerrodStorm puts up a video, it should be more clear, but here's a quick little text summary:

Select the thing you want to turn into a button, right-click on it and select "Convert to Symbol." Change the symbol type to "button" and hit OK. Then, select your button object on the stage and open up the actions panel (F9 opens this up.) Then, past in the following:

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.newgrounds.com", "_blank");
}

The first parameter is the url you want to go to, and the second one basically just tells the browser to open up the link in a new tab (so that if the flash video is loading, it doesn't leave the page.)

Also, my animation is nearly done. It'll probably be up sometime tomorrow.

actually, I just tested that method. for whatever reason, it'll work while the file's still on the hard drive, but stops working once you upload it to the dumping grounds. It's rather weird.

Hmm, odd, it seems to work for me... maybe it has something to do with the local playback security settings in the publish settings window? Or maybe it's a dumping grounds glitch.

Also be sure to uncheck "convert stereo to mono" !
And yeah the higher kbps rate the better the sound quality, it also improves syncing as far as I can tell.

What's even weirder is that I did the same basic thing again, only putting the scripting on the timeline. Now it works fine on the dumping grounds.

Flash is so picky sometimes...

Well, the important thing is that we get word out about Newgrounds: the forsaken city. Speaking of which, are you going to link to it in your video, Pahgawk?

Yep, the link's there! Actually the flash is done, but I'm just going to wait until tomorrow to post it in case there's something I need to fix that I missed in my only semi-concious late-night work period :)
