It's called animating.

Obviously nobody was interested, so please don't post it again. Most people that get on this thread would rather die than use sprites.
Also, why ask you and have to give credit if you can just rip something off Google Images?

Well, the term sprites could mean any number of things, they could be copyrighted ones that people rip such as sonic or they could be an original spriteset that just needs some programming lovin. It'd probably be a good idea to get a preview of said sprites to see if its worthwhile before pouncing him to shreds.

Yes. It would. Sorry, but when I hear "sprite", I always think of either this or that.

Oh no you didn't!

Hello artists!

I am sure that some of you recognize me, but yet it's been a few years since I last very actively hovered over these parts of NG - actually since Inglor's at first well-working Flash Regs forum aired and later collapsed.

However, I've been around a bit elsewhere within the site since then and have the NG Regs forum (that I'm sure that a couple of you already are members of) to care about. However, since my stationary computer broke down and the maintenance over there and thereafter some activity changed I was just in there and posted a news post, and realised how there's a huge group of people that has been and seems to constantly be in need of an own forum (I am talking about the Flash artists, and mostly so the regs) and thought that you could hop in and do it to somewhat a Flash regs forum -
since it's an NG Regs forum, but NG is about Flash - you should be the ones to have it as somewhat your own.

The adress is simple anyways - www.redbribe.tk and you join with your NG username - PM me to my NG account from your NG main account and I give your NG Regs account full forum priviledges (means that you can view the entire forum).
The procedure is to keep the forum from bots and alts.

Anyways, have a good summer!

Shit.

A friend of mine bought MX2004 a few months back and was waiting a better PC since he was haing trouble activating it on his current one...

Is his software rendered totally useless?

If Adobe don't fix it then there's always "alternative" methods of fixing the program, usually used for pirated software, but since he bought it then it doesn't really matter.. but I'm sure Adobe will fix it.

Where do you even buy MX2004 now adays? Seems somewhat outdated.

I got mine from my dad, and he got it from a customer at his store.

My activation was still working a few weeks ago, did it really stop working?

Well hot damn! I used to have MX04, those were the good ol' days, back when things were simple, filters were non-existent, and all i could do was tween :)

Yeah, I got Flash 8 now.

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Pro. It's a bit complicated but that's really not of a big deal imho.

It's no more complex than any other flash. CS4 is my new favourite, clean manageable interface and some good new code features. Though i try and use Flash Develop when i can.

YOU HEATHEN.

Flash 8 was the pinnacle of the Flash IDEs.

I'd still be working with Flash MX if it weren't for the fact that I can't work with others using later versions.

Yeah no idea why you can't down-version files to any other Flash, i mean you can downgrade from CS4 to cs3, then cs3 to 8, then 8 to mx2004, so why not just let us go straight from cs4 to 2004?

probably to keep you upgrading and financing the developer. I still think its stupid. In illustrator, you used to be able to save down to Illustrator 6 if you wanted to. The technology is there, its just the developers stubborness IMO.

I feel like the only person IN THE FUCKING WORLD who has never layed fingers on any vector based program that isn't flash. Specially Ilustrator, I just don't get it. My equipment has always been Flash for vector and Photoshop for rasters. I know I should buy Painter someday though.

I have also discovered the joys of using MS Paint just for the goddamn fuck of it, it gives a aquigly line effect that I simply love.

That absolutely is the case. And honestly, Adobe wouldn't want anyone to use old Macromedia programs - if you buy the company, you wanna get the customers aswell.

... not that I have any newer version than MX2004... XD

I got Adobe Flash CS3 Pro free from my cousin, it is pretty tricky to get your head round, but u get used to the hard parts.

It doesn't care once it's activated. It's when it gets deactivated by your own power or you are trying to reinstall it is when it gets angry at you.

Also, check this story out. This is about as warm and fuzzy Adobe has ever made me.

I assume that she only really needed Dreamweaver, but still.. one piece of software doesn't replace ~5! I can't remember what was in the studio packages but it was definitely Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Freehand.. and I assume some of Macromedias smaller software that they threw in to sweeten the deal probablys..

Still nice of them, since they obviously couldn't fix the problem.. which sucks, they should be able to fix it when it's their own servers.

I know glaiel promotes himself enough in this thread, but I just read his blog post on monetizing flash games. It's an old topic, but I think he stated it pretty well:
