Open Parts
If you're going to release it when all parts are finished, I think I'll do a few Flash related tutorials. I've been so flooded in work the last couple of weeks that I didn't want to take another part because I probably wasn't going to get anything done in time. Now that it's delayed I think I can start working on a few starting next week or the week after that. It looks like there are more programmers involved in this project than animators/artists.

my pong tut is highly broken >.< I know why the buttons aren't working, It's because I put code on them.. guess I'll stop doing that... but I have no clue why the example is very much broken now. Might have to do with library item overload.

My guess would be an advanced button script using _currentframe so that he can delete the next and the back button instantly.
but thats just me :)

It's not, you probably have used ._root somewhere. I don't have access to flash atm, but i'll take a look when i get can get to my pc.

Any comments on anything are very helpful, please post anything you want to be added/removed etc.

I just over viewed my code and i didn't use any _roots but it might work if i import the example from the internet... guess I'll go check out that tutorial.

okay, i made the example be imported from my freewebs account so it shouldn't be buggy any more (I never use it so it won't get deleted for space) and i got rid of the button code (except for a little piece to get rid of the example)

If any tuts are missing, resend them to tutorialcollab@gmail.com. Don't tell me, i can't do anything about that, just pm/email me them again.

Masterswordsman, yours is not on my top priority of things to do atm, but it should get done soon.

Glad to see this moving along!

If it gets delayed until a break like Thanksgiving, then I'll definitely make more parts!

I just started back on Shooting at Mouse and Actionscripted Colour and Fireworks again. I took a break for a while, but I'm back. I'll email you Actionscripted Tweens and More Math again since you didn't seem to get them.

funny how I'm posting on the supposed due date

I have a few comments on some AS2 Tutorials.

For everyone, learn to use the conditional operator. It saves space, and is much neater. In an if statement, instead of 'if(value==true){}', you can just use 'if(value)'. Instead of using 'if(value==false){}', you can use 'if(!value){}'. Works for switchcase and conditional operator too. And try to use strict data typing. When I ran a speed test I found that it's over 100 times faster to use strict data than to not.

Sandypaw: In your printing tutorial you forgot methods like printAsBitmap(), print(), printNum(), and printAsBitmapNum(). You might want to explain some of those and their parameters to make it complete. In your webcam tutorial you really should explain about bitmap screenshots and how a webcam benefits from the Bitmap Data API. If you really want to make it great, add some webcam effects using the Color Transform Class. (Dep made a script for an inverse webcam in his AS: Main webcam tut).

Gankro: I honestly just forgot what I was going to say about your tuts. Meh.

No, just fill in the template. Depredation will do the rest!

Streaming seriously screws up the media player code, i'd have to recode the whole thing if i wanted to add streaming. I'll take a look, but i can't promise anything.

Looks good, but get rid of the next buttons and back to menu.

I meant to mention that, it will be, i didn't see any point of editing it 100s of times, i'll add your name at the end. ;). I didn't notice the Music thing, thanks ;).

Yeah, just looked at it again. It's pretty good. I strongly recommend strict data typing though. Other than that it's a good code, better than a couple I've seen.
