cant use it for adult rated movies eh?
Guess i'm sol, because i'd rather be broke than censored lolz.
what about mature rated? will it lead to self censorship to get money for your hard work or lying about the rating?
but its awesome that you added this feature!

Bringing the violence back to NG, one flash at a time..

I understand they are nice for the Author, even though you need like 10,000,000 views a Month to actually make good cash out of it... but they are really annoying when they're on small games / movies. It's kind of annoying having to wait for their fake loading bar to load when you know it's a 500 KB - 3MB game that already loaded in a few seconds...

I agree with that.... having an ad pop up fpr 10 seconds claiming to still be loading the movie can be annyonying on a game that should take 2 seconds to load (or that you have loaded already). The NG ads don't work that way, they load asynchronously with the game/movie... if the movie is done loading, you can play right away.

I hope this isn't a dumb idea, but I made a topic on it anyway.

I think there should be an API for game developers here on NG. That way we could earn achievements for the games we play and maybe chat with people on our contacts list. There could even be multiplayer features similar to xbox live. Maybe not as complex, but enough so that we could play with our friends and keep track of our ranking.

It would take NG way above sites like kongregate and any other flash game site.

Okay so.

I've done everything properly.

And I have dragged NG_AD_OBJECT onto my timeline.

So now I have this big fat black newgrounds logo which spawns popup windows taking up almost the whole screen for the whole flash cartoon.

....

So....how are people supposed to watch the cartoon with this big black ng_ad_object billboard blocking their vision?

Or is that the whole point of this thing?

it's a combo preloader/ad viewer

when you press play the preloader animation will play, cut out the ad, then continue playing the main timeline

unless you were joking : (

Once again it seems you are having trouble reading the help.

For flash 5 and MX, you put the NG_API_OBJECT across your whole timeline. The AD object just goes on the frame you want... if you put THAT across your movie, you will SEE it across your whole movie.

NG ads work for my crappy horribly outdated version of flash?

I might have to start giving a damn about animating again.

Hopefully rather than motivate people to sell themselves out to get page views, this will act as a way to motivate artists to get shit done and to submit higher quality stuff

Probably won't be the latter though. Might not have any effect at all

So far I have noticed a pattern. Stuff that has a lot of effort makes money, stuff without does not.

The lazy people wanting sortcuts to cash probably won't find success with this, nor will they care as long as they can get lump-sum sponsorships without having to work any harder.
