Yes and no. When the wheel gets to a certian postition you can see the background, just make the wheel better.

I would make a colour wheel for mx, but i can't move mc's from 8 to mx, sorry.

When the circle has fully roated and the tank has expanded to its full, in the top right of the .swf you can see a patch of white(look at the example you posted).
Hope that cleared things up.

you dont have to copy symbols, just change the export settings

Exporting is for the .swf, not the .fla file.

Well here is what I've been up to the past week. The begining animation is about 35 seconds long and then the movie launches a random screensaver. Right now I only have 3 and they are not finished but I hope to have ten nice ones once I'm done. You'll notice numbers when the actuall screen saver is launched...they are ther just for me to make sure the actionscript is working correctly, they will be removed for the final version. Please give me feedback.

Oh and Hoeloe, sorry I'd convert it for you but I'm in the same boat. I only have Flash MX v6! Not even 2004 ! I'll be buying studio 8 soon, cant wait.

Ok well I'm looking forward to hearing feedback, here it is!

That is fucking amazing. I love it. A couple of things though.
On the intro when the text appears it comes up as Times New Roman, you need to use a more global font e.g. tahoma, arial.
Two, can you export each of your screensavers seperatley and show us them because it takes a while tog et to teh random bit.
And finally on the screensaver when you go inside picos mouth, it pauses for a second while the loop resets.
If you could fix those things you would have a pw3nge screensaver.

Thank you, I just fixed the text. Originally the font was sydnie like the opening title which is broke apart so you can see it. I used action script for the typwriter effect so I couldn't break it apart. I changed it to arial though and it still looks good on my end.

The next time I send an update link I'll include controls to just skip the intro and go straight to the screen savers. I'll take the controls out for the final version. The three screen savers that are on it now are all just being worked on and they all need tweaking so I dont want to post a bunch of separate savers that still need work.

Good 'ol Pico. I spent the morning on that screensaver. It's the first time I've attempted to do a "zooming loop" It has proven to be pretty tough. I cant get the speed to be fluid but I'll try to keep it from coming to a stop before it loops.

So stay tuned for updates!

Thanks for the feedback Dep.

Thanks for the advice. By the way I have sent my swf file to your email.

Here is the latest update on mine. I added a menu button at the top to navigate to the screensavers so you dont have to wait through the animation each time. That menu WILL NOT be there in the final version. I also changed the screen text to Arial so that it would look better on all computers...well most. Finally, I smoothed the Pico sceensaver so that its a little harder to see the loop, although not perfect yet, it's still giving me a tough time. If you watch the animation all the way through it will randomly select a screensaver from the three I have so far. I hope to have 10 by the end of the week.

looking forward to your suggestions and comments. Thanks

i have an idea, how about we get the top 10 or summat, and use the random screensaver idea?

I'm ok with that. The only problem we might run into is filesize and the fact that I'm working in Flash MX version 6 so even if you export to a lower version in 8 I can't read it. Right now as it sits my movie is 166kb. I guess we will see how everyone else feels about it.

Response to Official Ng Screensaver Competition 2006-05-01 17:29:45


Sorry, but tom wanted 5 different, separete screensavers. Plus the filesize would be enourmous.

So will mine be ok? It will be within the posted specifications except I'll have more than one screensaver, of course only one will play per activation.

Response to Official Ng Screensaver Competition 2006-05-02 03:03:42


Hey depredation, just wondering how the voting is going to work, are people just going to post as a vote, or are you or tom getting something more set up? And also, will there be a front page reminder so theres more people voting?

Yes, yours is fine. Aslong as your file stays under 500kb. Its just that it wouldn't be acompetition if there was only 1 entry.

I will post a thread after the competition. People can vote there. I will ask tom if he will post a news thread about it, he might not though. But this thread is at 9 pages, and there was no news about it.

Here's a preview of one of mine in the form of background. (1024 x 768) I kind of missed when you posted the color wheel, but in this and in my other, I'm pretty sure I stuck to it, except for the brown, but hey! That goes pretty whell, in fact, its a true-dark version of one of the colors in the color wheel.

So number 1, which I'm working on, will have those bubbles doing something secret that I won't reveal, (not that type of secret! :P) number 2 will have something secret kind of relating to gears and tanks, number 3 will be a combo of 1 and 2 doing something secret.

And a preview, for those of you lazy-asses who don't look at links unless there's a preview:

I'm terribly sorry for the double post, but I also made icons that look like the yellow/tank bubbles.
