He's probably not from NG, he's probably a member of your family BECAUSE YOU'RE MEXICAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I thought -Luis- was Cuban, Kirk_Cocaine.

Olschool. Fun (even though the older regs probably already know it) fact! Before Luis became TomFulp's bitch his usernames were things like "Mr-Luis" and others. He then pm'd Tom and since Luis had given Tom some fun the night before, Tom deleted the real Luis and let Luis Castanon have the account.

The more you knowww

Oh, and I got to vote for the monthly thing this month :D.

Wait somebody's giving away tablets? I don't wanna sound greedy but mine broke before Christmas time. Anyway.

Bored! Food For The Soul STILL NEEDS A SPONSOR. Not one sponsor is answering me and we aren't submitting it unless we have no other option. We worked too hard to not get anything =(.

Anybody wanna make a game? I'm really bored and i wanna make another game. No RPG.

That project of mine ain't look so good. Saved and compacted which lowered the fla file dramaticly, traveled through my control panel and tried uping my RAM, and googled and googled for answers.
My best bet is copying everything from the timeline and pasting it all in a new blank flash file, but the scene's timeline and stage doesn't even load. It's completely blank and whatever I click just makes the "Flash does not have enough memory" error message appear.
Gonna be gettin' CS4 soon and am hoping I can open the document in it and it'll magically work. If not that I panic and go back to the drawing board.

Job

Trying to get a job with Valley Television. Wish me luck! If I get a job their my career in the film business will finally start! :D
For one of the first times in my life I find myself saying "I want to work."

Sickness

Flus and colds suck extremely. Starve a flu: feed a cold. Coughing, puking, fevers, and all that horrid junk. Being sick sucks.

My sig tells no lies. Anyone want to make me a sig? For some reason the Newgrounds Sig Makers either don't wanna make me one (</3) or didn't see my post.

If you actually do wanna make me one pm me or somethin.

Cloud sigs are fairly easy to make yourself. Plus its retro

I'd throw in a few bucks if I thought the person deserved it.

But, I think it's a joke, and a hilarious one at that. Even if it's not I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Indeed then I wouldn't feel horribly out of date. =)

I have to say it: every time I see your cloud sig, the face reminds me of Orlando Bloom. Am I alone in seeing that? Anyone?

Other people have mentioned that too. It was originally meant to resemble me (although since I made it I shaved off that half-mustache, just never bothered to update the sig)

Good, you can't have any facial hair and release flash. Look at Kayn.

Who's offering to make cloud sigs then? Shotgun first in line.

Cloud sigs are a personal expression of oneself. Best to do it on your own.

Quick Survey... What's bad about Flash sites?
Okay. So a few people on my MSN list have been linked to the Flash site I'm slowly making for my (hah) portfolio. Only I'm keenly aware about the 'problems' with completely Flash driven sites. Just wanting to double check everything here... Flash sites commonly have the following problems
- Not search engine friendly
- No deep linking
- Bloated file size (no one likes a loading bar)
- Loud
- Not screenreader friendly
- Require Flash to be running / No Alternative Content
- Can't work with Google Ads
- Don't work with the history buttons in the browser
- No liquid design / not looking the same on every browser
- Difficult to update

All of those I've fixed for my current site (most are simply bypassed using the SWFAddress library and the PressConnect tool for Wordpress I keep plugging, and the third and fourth one's are solved by not designing like a nimrod), but I can't help but feel I've missed some. Anyone got any other gripes with flash sites?

I've seen it done before on kuler, might wanna look into it a bit.
You'll probably need to integrate some JavaScript in there.

Yay conforming!
I enjoy trends.

Flash Sites

Hmmmm, this looks like alot of things that can be wrong with a flash site, but you say you've bypassed most of those?
I might have to look into a flash site in like 6 years.

As I said, the list is the things I have fixed - I know how to deeplink with Flash.
Handy hint for those who don't: Google SWFAddress

*sigh* I really need to learn how to read the whole post before i respond. :/
I think you've covered the all main problems
most flash sites have, I can't think of any others.
Hope your portfolio turns out good. :]

Mac

Seriously its a perfect OS but man ): No drivers for my tablet, really pissed me off. Ive got like £25 spare right now so I cant really get a new one.

And also, Flash CS4 doesnt like spaces, it fucks up loads ):

Sweeeeet :D

You pretty much got it all, i didn't see it but LAAAGGG is as huge one. I have a fairly good comp but so many flash sites make you wait 5 minutes for it to load, and once it does theres little moving things everywhere, half of them blurred and it slows my whole damn comp...

thats about it^^
