It means that your sig is quite fabulous. I should go get one.

I hate him forever.

I bet it will be too.

I'm sure K-guare is going to finish the collab today, maybe even submit it today as well. But probably tomorrow.

It seams like it will be really awesome. I bet K-guare had to use all of his action script talent to make it. I can hardly sit in my seat still. That's why I have Ritalin handy.

*gulp

so guys...has anyone strolled over to the local movie theater and view a cinematic masterpiece?
because I haven't.

Hey kids. :]

Yeah, really.
I finally have the bios finished, the biggest chunk of time.

Alright so, for the bios,
each one of you has your own array of photos
that you submitted in the forum. Some of you didn't do that,
so I took at least 1 screenshot of something else you submitted
so you had at least something.
It took me really long to organize all the code, but now it's set up so
that it's very easy to add in more pictures for each of you,
so if you have any specific pictures you would like me to
add in there for you to appear on your bio page, just
send it to me and I'll add it in in a flash. :D

Heh, flash. Haha.
I've been gone.
Family stuff, relationships, PO3 coding (Kart-Man and I are totally dominating. :D,)
and a whole ton of other useless excuses.
I've been doing this for the past couple hours, and I'm so
extremely excited that it's working now...

How's my driving?

oops forgot to give you the picture I wanted you to add

I think it is fair to say I posted the most pictures on this thread

That's already in the contest thread, but I'll just
move it into the bios as well.

And awaaaaaaayyy.

Hmm, I wonder if I can get this submitted today... :]
It's not likely, but I'll give it my best shot.

Quit hogging it all!

You should add the API to the movie.

also, i didn't make a picture. D:

That would interfere with MichaelHurst's preloader.
UNLESS....I just put it in the menu?
Wait...it's almost the exact same size as the synopsis box...
Hmm....

But I feel like distributing money amongst you guys, lol.
I'm not being selfish here, I'm just being lazy.
I think it'd be a better idea if we didn't.

also, i didn't make a picture. D:

I took a screenshot of your submission, it's pretty sexy. :3
You can make one and send it to me if you want.

Don't worry, he has an ID and stuff,
I was just late to get his bio info and forgot to
actually add in his ID and name to that chart.

His id is HF. Who knew, right?! :]
I think...I think it might be getting submitted soon.?
I'm not sure though...
I'm just...not. Sure.

sounds nice. We just have to hope we don't submit on one of those "spam 0" days

Dang it,

the stupid preloader isn't working.
I have the dummy frame with all the classes, and
I have it so it doesn't export on the first frame...but
it's still loads about 1.5Mb of it before a loading screen shows up.

GAAAAAH.
I MAY BE A ROBOT AND I MAY NOT HAVE EMOTION,
BUT SOMETIMES I JUST DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.

There are a lot of things they could have done better in
AS3 regarding the preloader. It makes me sad. :[
Any opinions?
Should I submit anyway, or should I find a fix?
Because if you have a slow connection you'll be sitting there
for quite a while at a blank screen, and that's not something
I want to happen. :/

people vote down when that happens. A LOT. I'm sorry but a fix is needed. But if you can't fix it you might just want to submit it anyway, not worth it for every person with a slow connection.

I say fix it if it's possible, cause I'd rather wait it have it be amazing, as opposed to not wait and have it fail at the start for teh dial upz.

HEY!
yeah find a fix after all we waited a (long) while so a few days more is nothing.

even more so if it will influence the score that much

K-Guare I'd like to say thank you for your tremendous efforts to get this done and all the genius you have put into this collab. Really, you've done an excellent job, given the circumstances. I think we all owe KG and everyone who helped him a big hand.

If its alright I'm going to PM you two image files that I'd like in my bio page if its not too much trouble to replace what I have.
