A battle engine's very specific, and probably should go under FOSS

(or) where you pressed a button and everything in the specified area disappeared so it could be printed it was cool

Making swf file information editing easier for everyone.

AS: rotation on angles

there... im pretty sure its not that good, but oh well

http://newgrounds.co../topic.php?id=535196

various speed tests to be used as a resource, done in flash 9 alpha with AS3, but most of it par one or two are the same for AS2 in terms of which is fastest

Hey i just thought, noone has made a tutorial on how to make a game like worms! I don't know myself, it's just that would be really useful

That uses Bitmap Data, which -liam- made a tutorial on, but I WOULD like to see the actual scripting for that rather than just commands for bitmap data, since I hardly use or know bitmapo data.

Yeah, i wanted to make a puzzle game like that, oh well! Back to my 2 collabs and The Battle of Evermore...

The last thing we probably need is another platformer tutorial but I wanted to get this old engine out in the open, and in any case it does demonstrate a slightly wider range of features than just variables and if(); statements.

Don't know if you want it, but I'm gonna link it to people because I'm sick of answering it. :)

Open source preloaders

They're not strictly AS, but it's a recource. Useful links, maybe?

if the thread grows a little, anyway.

AS: Preloader not appearing

Can anyone make a specific-section tutorial about something like this.

That means it would calculate how much time it would take to the target and the bullet to arrive to places, and then find an angle that would make a collision with the target and the bullet if you shoot.

I hope I made it clear.

That is pretty useful, even with your thoughtless, noob worrying mistakes >.< I didn't realise you could stream AS attached sounds before.

It would be good for making a flash media player or somthing. I tried it for one of my games, but it takes a long time to load, so i didn't. Its still pretty handy though:)

AS: Pause

No, Luis. He can delete posts just the same, and the .txt file is pretty public. We know that Denvish has discovered better things to do already.

AS:Tying MCs to the Root

LIST STARTS ON 2ND POST

All right. So here we are on page 47 of AS: Main. What started out as an interesting idea (re-read the first couple of pages =) has become one of the most linked threads on NG. Some people hate it, some people love it, some people learnt some aspects of Flash by reading the links. However, I think now that it has become such a giant, in terms of the number of threads, that it is starting to lose its shape... it's becoming clumsy. Flash newbs who are referred to page=9999 just get confused by the sheer number of options open to them.

As much as I would love to trim this down to the bare bones, 15 tuts for each skill level, that would be sticking a finger up at everyone who has donated their time and knowledge to creating tutorials for AS: Main, and those that have commented in each thread created, helping to refine the code. So I'm not going to take that away. However, I feel that, for now (until AS3 is officially released in its full form), there is no need for any more tutorials. Everything has been covered. People are starting to scrabble to find a topic that hasn't already been covered, and the quality is dropping as a result.

So, this will probably be the final update of this incarnation of AS: Main. It would have been nice to round it off on page 50, but all sections are now pushing the character limits, updating the list takes me over an hour, and as I said, I don't believe the list is going to get any more complete than it is now - but it WILL get more confusing for the newb. So I am going to ask liljim to lock it. Don't see this as a farewell; the thread will still be readily available to link to, and will remain as an AS resource for as long as NG exists. For those tutorials that were added to the list, the usernames of their creators have become part of NG history, as people who were willing to not only make NG a better place, but also to act as mentors to up-and-coming (and established) Flash authors.

There may be future incarnations of AS: Main. We'll see. In the meantime, a HUGE THANKS to everybody that donated their time and skills to the thread. Also, it makes me very happy to see that other people have taken the format of AS: Main and applied it to other subjects, from Java/C++ to Animation. Long may those threads prosper.

Once again, thank you. And now, the final roll-call.....
