Well I finnaly finished!

Please write a review. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I will check and not be a total @$$ not replying to peoples questions.

If you are a more advanced flash artist and already know how to create buttons, just skip to the last 5 frames, theres a comprehensive pile of AS I have collected, edited or created.
Anyway you will learn:
-How to create buttons, correctly

-how to create quality buttons
-How to create a custom cursor
-how to create animated things in your wonderful preloader
-How to create a play button
-how to create a next/back button
-how to create a text box that veiwers can copy and paste
-how to add music to your animation
Thanks!

"Weak"

date: May 24, 2008

Just one question, why do you do this? This will not help anyone for one reason, it's already covered in the flash tutorial section on newground and this will never be there. So nobody ( or almost ) will ever use this.

Here's some guideline if you ever want to make other tutorial:

Use better looking graphic (it give's the impression that some effort has been made)

Custom cursor movie clip goes on the highest layer

The loading animation should stop when the content is fully loaded

A tutorial should always have an index in order for the viewer to skip to parts he actually want to see

Before making a tut for newgrounds you should first look what hasn't been already covered

A higher rezolution for your tut would also be much appreciated

Movie clip are generally more versatile than buttons + you can keep all your code on one layer.

gotoAndStop/gotoAndPlay are better use with frame labels. This way if you add frames and the frame number of your previous destination change, you will be covered.

Always explain all parts of the code and why it work and what are common mistake someone could encounter.

Add some animation to illustrate a step by step approach to guide the viewer and what not, throw in a mascot to make your tutorial more friendly.

I could go on but I think you can see my point. en plus, avec un peu de temps et de revision tu pourras trouver d'autres choses a améliorer.

"couldn't help but notice.."

I find it kind of strange how you give the tutorial for making preloaders, but you didn't add one in yourself :P

It was alright. The cursor was acting kind of funny... It would have been better with some voices, audio..
nice effort!

Umm on my preloader it stated that it wasn't a preloader tutorial.
And btw it's a hidden load like in AD, I didn't feel like making one at the time.
Lol ya I have one if you want to see it...
It's actually pretty cool.
Heres a link to it:
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/23050 8/64401_Preloader.php
And ya like I sed below I'll try to fix it.
Voices is hard to understand and being 13 mine isn't a nice one to listen to.
There were sound fx in the beggining but the file was already annoying to me to test it and make sure it was all good.

"almost awesome"

date: May 23, 2008

nice job!
there were a few errors (not too big though).
-sometimes the cursor was under the button.
-maybe next time add a menu to pick which scene you want to watch. (scene selection)

other than that, nice tut man!
