Well, you are working with less in terms of what you can contrast to draw interest (and even less in terms of what you can compare to keep the site from being confusing).

If you can't...

Heh, there's a whole How to Draw Manga book based on flash illustration. Despite what you'd expect, it's actually quite helpful for general composition in flash (that happens to not be animated).

Are they already planning on adding graphics card support for flash processing?

If not, then that. (ooh, all the fancy effects I would code on top of each other if I had that kind of power! I...

Could always have a counter, run the script enough times until you catch the timeout, and then set the number of runs before saving/moving to the next frame to the counter variable (probably have to...

Exactly this. There is a lot more to programming than just "learning what each function does". There is a certain mindset of organizing, analyzing, and breaking down big problems into multiple...

In this day and age, a game like super mario would wouldn't stand out as something impressive. In competition with other flash games, it would be a standing acheivement, but against games made on...

It's a bit hard to navigate, but I hope it can help.

Well, I didn't see anywhere in his post that traditional fbf methods are superior for flash animation, but your point is still valid.

It is best to use tweened symbols (or symbols moved fbf like...

Yes, that one is a good one. But here is the best one.
The Animator's Survival Kit
I own them both, and they both are good and cover stuff that the other doesn't. But because you want help with...

Yeah, I don't keep track of the news apparently. All I know is that last time I checked (either sometime in 2000 and 2001) I didn't hear of any program like that (well, one that actually worked).
...

Yeah... Sorry about that. Guess I need to make myself more well known before I start spouting sarcastic remarks like that. (I just didn't think anyone had come up with a way to hack .swf's already. I...

Well damn! I want to know how to do that. Do you have a link to the program he uses? (I won't have to wait for open-source versions of things anymore!)

Well, it's not like he can edit your .swf and put that crappy watermark over the stuff that gives your site credit. (and who makes a game worth anything without putting their name or a link to their...

So... The right side wins on the minute and the left side wins on the hour?

Because that would be kick-ass.

Heh, cool. I'll have to look it up sometime. Although I do have some feedback, not about the platform collison though.

Whenever I drag and throw someone through the air, they tend to slow down...

I've always wanted to experiment with this type of stuff for a fighting/platform game. I am most interested in how you made the punching motion work. Can you use the same method to control joint...

Umm, what about an intelligence gene? Like, critters with this gene are more likely to move towards the closest organism for breeding rather than move in a random direction. (maybe so the gene won't...

Wow, this is great. Are you soon going to make it so that certain color genes are tied to certain behavior scripts? (I would think this would be your ultimate goal since it is survival of the...

Heh, it seems that you can walljump on the same wall. Sort of acheiving a megaman X thing. (except slightly more strain on the fingers) I don't know if that's what you were going for, but I'm sure a...

First, are you sure the pen is on a seperate layer?

If so, are you sure the registration point of the pen movieclip is at the very tip? (that little white circle that's normally at the center of...

I would first set up a variable that keeps track of the alpha.

AlphaVariable=.7

Then have a constant event that uses the command.

instancename_alpha=AlphaVariable

Then since you are using...

All I'm missing is a flash book.

Personally, I think the Animator's survival kit and a book that teaches you the most simple flash commands (unless you already know them) are all you'd ever and...

You act like CG is simply a matter of scanning the image in and pressing a button to CG-*** it. (which isn't the case, fyi)

Now if you were to animate it in flash (which is actually simpler than...

That book is a pretty good resource that covers most of the basics, but if you want to plunge into the deep end of it all. (and are willing to actually "pay" for something) I would reccomend buying....

This beta is too beautiful to be confined to such a small resolution!
(maybe it's too late to make it a tad bigger for us high-res users?)
