Holy shit you're alive!

I mean

Thanks!

And thanks everyone! :D

Also I almost accidentally deleted your post when clicking reply :'(

Could use some more people to test my game. I've added the ability to chase little birds aroind the map. Walk up to a baby bird walking at the start, press "a" and it will startle them and make them jump and flutter in the direction you are facing. This will be used be certian levels and objectives where you have to guide extra characters through the levels. Need people to try and make the baby birds clip through the wall of some how disapeare off stage. There are 5 birds in total in this test, if you still have 5 after moving them all around the map then thats good.

I wish you luck. After a dry spell, I have 3 artists I'm working with now :D

So, embedding fonts is dumb. It just did not want my font. I used the esoteric functions of the font class, and those told me the font was embedded, but it wouldn't show up in the textfield (yes, I used embedfonts before setting the format and that before setting text). Luckily, Flash Pro isn't COMPLETELY useless, and I could embed the font from a swf. Same with embedding wav audio files.

Oh Flash, you make coding bitter but embedding assets so sweet

Also congrats Sam and Omar

Do you have a game prototyped ready to drop some assets into? Do you have a portfolio?

Maybe you can't find an artist because you're not selling yourself properly?

I think it could be the other way around. You're presenting a really solid engine, that already has pretty good art, and you say you have experience, so it could be scaring away some people. Or maybe Rusty's right, in that, the thread you made, you never actually mentioned what the game's idea was, whether it was just a platformer or if it's a puzzler or adventure or if there's a story etc.., so maybe it's a bit hard to get hooked.

As I mentioned before, have you tried contacting artists yourself? Look for the ones that are looking for work, I'm sure there's a lot of those whether on the forum or in NG's collabinator, and also try PMing some, whether here or outside, and see if they'd be interested.

Holy balls look at my post count. Quads baby

Fuck I screwed it up :(

It's okay. I saw it, and laughed, when it was 6666. :)

trace(xml.nonexistentNode == undefined);
trace(xml.nonexistentNode !== undefined);

Wat?

I think XML is the Dark Arts.

Nice sleight of hand, but I know what you're doing. The opposite if == is !=, while the opposite of !== is ===.

I did not know that...I thought it was a stylistic choice rather than something different since java uses !=

=== and !== are literally literal :P

Yey I'm glad someone other than me got some joy out of it!

Is there any operator which is differently purely for aesthetic reasons?

The difference between === and == (or indeed !== and !=) is that it checks the type as well.

Strictly speaking, I literally thought == and !== were opposites, a logical assumption.

Oh gosh, I'm turning into my friend

From an objective orientation, saying the == and !== execute opposingly has no base. Classically, the logical operative is to research truth, if perhaps even conditionally separating from the falsities of the internet. In Flash especially, developing with the right frame of mind (and correct information) works to your advantage.
