We've been given extra days??? I managed to send mine in yesterday, and I thought I wasn't going to make it!!! Damn, this means I'll have to wait extra for the collab to come out to find out how my submission did!

what

I doubt mine will get in. It is really short and really simple, but I DID make an effort with it. It isn't a box or a cock joke. I sent it on the 18th May (or was it 19th?) and haven't got a response so far so it doesn't look too good for me. Maybe they'll have pity on a newbie and will want to encourage the less-experienced? Well, if not, I'll be upset, but I'll get over it, I guess. I can't wait to see the finished collab!!! Good luck, Metal-Gearheads.

I doubt they are going to respond to everyone, whether they get in or not.
On Johnny's post he said they have to go through around 200 submissions... which is allot.

200 submissions times 15 seconds *as an average per say* = 3000 seconds = 50 mins, and there are probably alot more since the 20th past... so lets say about 2 hours to sift through all the crap entries and find the good ones and debate on if they should get in or not.

In other words give them some time. when they notify us they will, so RELAX!

Grah, didn't hear about this until really recently(all of five days in fact), didn't leave me much time to do anything beautiful, but I think its a solid joke worth consideration. In any case, I just want to see how this collab turns out.

on reflection, I submitted it with "Metal Gear Collab-1337933535" in the e-mail subject, I don't suppose it changes anything...does it? I just don't want to have submitted it wrong.

Newbie and paranoid, not a good combination

I sent mine in back in... April? But my .fla was too big. They told me to send the .swf and they'd see if they wanted the .fla - never replied. I'm guessing that's a no, unless they have a flash decompiler and actually thought my segment was good enough to put in.

Well then, this is my... First post on the forums.. Well, this isn't ACTUALLY the forums right?..

Gah, anyway.

For those of you who are having file size problems, it's because of how Flash saves the files. If you do the quick ctrl-S or just click Save, then it'll just build on top of your file size.

So what you have to do is Save As. Not as fast, but it'll lower your file size.

Oh! I think you have to save it as a different name too. But no worries, you can change it back once you've saved it..

Just wanted to help.

You guys really need to calm down...

So you havn't gotten a reply from Stamper, Utah, or the others yet... SO WHAT!?

There is still alot of time between now and the collabs release, so please be patient.

I repeat...

BE PATIENT!!!! YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU KNOW!!!!

You are so goddamn right!

That's alot of submissions!!! Yeah I guess I should chill. I'm just nervy because, however simple it is, it's my first submission. But yeah.... relax... relax... don't panic... as Manny says on Black Books when he eats the Little Book of Calm: "Add a dab of lavender to milk, leave town with an orange, and pretend you're laughing at it..."

Not to be fussy and all but do you people believe I should send a fixed (no typo) version of my .fla, or, that would just be being picky and a big pain in their arses...?

Couldn't you also use the "Save and Compact" command?

I would do so much for those goodies! but im not the animating type...shame

It depends on how bad the typos are, and how many. If it's just one or two, then I wouldn't bother. After all, as someone else just said, they have to go through a lot of submissions, so sending them another .swf with minor fixes might be kind of obnoxious. And anyway, the people watching might not even notice, unless they're really severe. So if it's really noticeable, then I'd just go ahead and send it in.

Yup.
I got a shock when mine said 40MB, then I deleted all the reference videos I didn't need any more and clicked 'Save and Compact' and I went down to a tidy 7MB.

Mine went (uncompacted and everything) 9.5 mbs.

Also the typo is an N for an M...
