Import the pics to your library and if you know how to make a Preloader, do that crap first and make the first pic, but an action in there that is Stop. Then make or use a button. Then make an action in the putton, when on release go to the next frame that contains the pic that you want. Keep on doing this till the end.

Alternatively, go to the "search" box above, and type in "preloader"; there are several good tutorials on newgrounds that people have made. Flashkit also has a couple of really advanced ones, if you're more adventurous.

In other news, I just finished my sixth flash movie, Iron Chef Seppuku. Check it out, tell me what ya think:

FINALLY! u r about to embark upon a new script. this is for getting the date and time and displaying in flash.

first, make a dynamic text box. for the variable name, type in textdate. then, make it into a movieclip (F8). right-click on it, and click edit. make two layers inside the movieclip. dont change the name on layer 1, but for layer 2, call it actions. on layer 1 (the one with the dynamic text box in it), make a frame (F5) on frame 2, and make two keyframes in the actions layer. on frame 1 on the actions layer, put in the following extremely long script.

function howlong(arg) {
if (length(arg)==1) {
arg = "0" + arg;
return arg;
}
else {
arg = arg;
return arg;
}
}
myDate = new Date();

hr = howlong(String(myDate.getHours()));
mnt = howlong(String(myDate.getMinutes()));

daytext = myDate.getDay();
dd = myDate.getDate();
mm = myDate.getMonth();
yyyy = myDate.getFullYear();

daytext = "Monday";

break;
case 2: daytext = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3: daytext = "Wednesday";
break;
case 4: daytext = "Thursday";
break
case 5: daytext = "Friday";
break;
case 6: daytext = "Saturday";
break
}

switch (mm) {
case 0: mm = "January";
break;
case 1: mm = "February";
break;
case 2: mm = "March";
break;
case 3: mm = "April";
break;
case 4: mm = "May";
break
case 5: mm = "June";
break;
case 6: mm = "July";
break
case 7: mm = "August";
break
case 8: mm = "September";
break
case 9: mm = "October";
break
case 10: mm = "November";
break
case 11: mm = "December";
break
}

textdate = (hr + ":" + mnt + " - " + daytext + "," + dd + " " + mm + " " + yyyy)

switch (daytext) {
case 0: daytext = "Sunday";
break;
case 1

on frame 2 of the actions layer, put in the following script.

gotoAndPlay(1);

that script might have been wrong. if it was, here is the right script.

function howlong(arg) {
if (length(arg)==1) {
arg = "0" + arg;
return arg;
}
else {
arg = arg;
return arg;
}
}
myDate = new Date();

hr = howlong(String(myDate.getHours()));
mnt = howlong(String(myDate.getMinutes()));

daytext = myDate.getDay();
dd = myDate.getDate();
mm = myDate.getMonth();
yyyy = myDate.getFullYear();

switch (daytext) {
case 0: daytext = "Sunday";
break;
case 1: daytext = "Monday";
break;
case 2: daytext = "Tuesday";
break;
case 3: daytext = "Wednesday";
break;
case 4: daytext = "Thursday";
break
case 5: daytext = "Friday";
break;
case 6: daytext = "Saturday";
break
}

switch (mm) {
case 0: mm = "January";
break;
case 1: mm = "February";
break;
case 2: mm = "March";
break;
case 3: mm = "April";
break;
case 4: mm = "May";
break
case 5: mm = "June";
break;
case 6: mm = "July";
break
case 7: mm = "August";
break
case 8: mm = "September";
break
case 9: mm = "October";
break
case 10: mm = "November";
break
case 11: mm = "December";
break
}

textdate = (hr + ":" + mnt + " - " + daytext + "," + dd + " " + mm + " " + yyyy)

Nice one dude, thats some fucking good scripting. You are better then me by far. Now I'm gonna post some script.......

This is quite cool, play a movie in reverse or forward

onClipEvent (load) {
// Set to true to loop forward playback.
loopForward = false;

// Set to true to loop reverse playback.
loopReverse = false;

// Set to true to play clip in reverse.
rewind = false;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (rewind) {
if (_currentframe == 1 && loopReverse) {
gotoAndStop(_totalframes);
} else {
prevFrame();
}
} else {
if (_currentframe == _totalframes && loopForward) {
gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
nextFrame();
}
}
}

Place it on the movie clip.......

This one is a menu, but with a history (like IE u can press back and it takes u back to the last thing u where on) YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE LABELS, because this is just for show, copy and paste if u want, but remember it will not work unless u have the same frame labels as here, or u change them.

stop();

// Create an array to store navigation history.
var siteHistory = new Array();

function goto(theLabel) {
// If the destination is not the same as the current
// location...
if (theLabel != siteHistory[siteHistory.length - 1]) {
// ...add the destination to the navigation history
siteHistory.push(theLabel);

// send the playhead to the destination.
gotoAndStop(siteHistory[siteHistory.length - 1]);
}
trace(siteHistory);
}

function goBack() {
// Remove the last location from the navigation history.
siteHistory.pop();

// If we're not all the way back home...
if (siteHistory.length > 0) {
// display the previous location
gotoAndStop(siteHistory[siteHistory.length - 1]);
} else {
// otherwise, display the home page.
gotoAndStop("home");
}
trace(siteHistory);
}

MY god actually look at this.

Ever wanted to know what ur movie's frame rate is, in actual run time?? Now u can!

To determine the actual framerate of a movie at runtime, follow these steps:

1) Create a layer on the main timeline called "FPScheck".
2) Move the FPScheck layer to the top of the layer stack.
3) On the last frame of the FPScheck layer, add a blank keyframe.
4) On the first frame of the FPScheck layer, record the time and frame number by attaching the following code:
var startTimeCheck = getTimer();
var startFrame = _currentframe;

5) On the last frame of the FPScheck layer, add the following code

var endTimeCheck = getTimer();
var numFrames = _currentFrame - startFrame + 1;
var elapsedSeconds = (endTimeCheck - startTimeCheck) / 1000;
var fps = numFrames / elapsedSeconds;

trace("number of frames: " + numFrames);
trace("elapsed seconds: " + elapsedSeconds);
trace("frames per second: " + fps);

Thanxs to Moock's asdg flash book for this one! He wrote it!

I do all my big projects in Adobe After Effects; I only post here because I like entertaining people, and I get a MUCH bigger audience. After I finish my portfolio (hopefully it's not due until mid-March), I'm going to start on a huge game, with plenty of cut-scenes (movies) and an assortment of levels and characters, that will probably take a few good months of work.

I'll go check out the assassin movie now.

lol, I'll have some more soon. I've just gotta write them out (which sucks)

Those are based on Moock's book asdg (actionscript book, possibly the best I have ever readen, and it's only like £4.55!!!) So if moocks reads this he wont get pissy.

If you type in "preloader" in the search box at the top right corner, it will show you all the submissions on tutorials from users. The one I used for help in my first movie is probably the one I recommend, by mercy_killer. Here's the url:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=39399

It teaches you everything from scratch, then slowly builds from there, as you make more and more complicted preloaders.

Also, flashkit actually has some really good preloaders done by professional companies that you can look at (and download to see how they work).

On a side note, sweet mother of...! My movie made the front page. I'm so happy :)

I don't think anyone but the administrators knows how in the hell the popularity thing works. I used to worry about it, now it doesn't bother me anymore. I make flash animations because I like entertaining people; when I get good reviews, THEN I'm happy :)

And thanks for the compliment, Si-Co... I hope the game turns out half as good as it's looking in my head and on paper ;)
