"Horrible"

by: Arckane

date: December 27, 2005

The graphics were disgraceful, the text was annoying to read, next time try to make it clean and crisp.

Your actionscript is foolish.

"on(release) {
_root.clickcount+=1
}"

There is no need for the _root, as buttons manipulate variables at _parent (in this case _root).

Duplicating movieclips:

"onClipEvent(load) {
_root.positionx = enter the "x" number of where you want the movieclip to appear.
_root.positiony = enter the "y" number of where you want the movieclip to appear.
this._x = _root.positionx
this._y = _root.positiony
}"

should be changed to

"onClipEvent(load) {
_x = enter the "x" number of where you want the movieclip to appear.
_y = enter the "y" number of where you want the movieclip to appear.
}"

In password protection there is no need for the _root

Rotating movieclips:

"onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root.rotationspeed = #
this._rotation+=_root.rotationspeed
}"

Can be changed to

"onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_rotation += #
}"

or (depending on whether you want a static speed variable)

"onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
rotationspeed = #
_rotation+=rotationspeed
}"

And for dragging buttons, you might want to replace on(release) with on(release, releaseOutside)

"a very good tutorial"

by: AlternateAccount

date: July 24, 2004

but there are still some little bugs/mistakes.
first off, on the deletefile via ftp tutorial, the text goes off the bottom of the screen, where you cannot read it. also, the hotkeys dont work for FMX2004, but thats ok because i use mx
nice overall

It looked like a good tutorial, but I was dissapointed, I thought it would be like funny stuff about rabbits, not an acctual tutorial. :(

"An alright tutorial for copying actionscript..."

by: Eskimo-Dan

date: July 24, 2004

...but not for much else.
I love the fact that people are putting tutorials on to help others, but I think a lot of things were overlooked. Like, you gave a lot of action script, and a brief statement saying what it does, but didnt give much in the way of examples. That makes this a very advanced tutorial, with its only real purpose being for lazy people to copy their action script from. There just wasnt enough examples of practical use in the tutorial. You could have included a couple of little animations or such to back up what you were explaining. Also, the tutorial is a lil plain. You should have added in a few animations and some well comnpressed music. I know some would argue that there is no need for music in a tutorial, but it really does make a difference in the overal product. Same said with animation.

Im not trying to be an ass or anything, but what Ive said Is the truth. This needs a fair bit more work, but keep at it! It will be good to see another updated tutorial from you.

"I think I know how to use flash mate..."

by: Spinal-Skylancer

date: July 24, 2004

Mate, I think people know how to use flash or whatever this is, if it isnt flash then its not really good... You need like... more attrating stuff, not just this. Music for exsample or maybe some little funny animations on the side, you get what im saying? But in all, good tutorial but it could be much better...
