Inspiration to animate.

Someone..forget who.. showed me that a while ago. I emailed the creator a few times and then got Tom involved who sent him an email. From my understanding, that's gonna be one of the first vids up for the redesign when video's can be submitted, not just swf's.

So...look out for that :P

Sorry, someone just give me the best idea for a quick solo game ever. I have to give that a try first!

See, that's how bad I am with collaborations.

Everyone, add me on MSN:

SamJones066(at)googlemail.com

Be useful to have some Flash regs.

I'd love to make a game with you some time Xeptic, way too busy right now though! One day we must unite!

That animation was superb, trippy stuff!

Not sure how old this is or how many people might have seen it but the best animation I've found in a while is Cafe Allonge - some really amazing work and its pretty damn funny too!

Happiest of days to be birthed...to you..sir

HAppAy BirTHdAy!

Happy Birthday, you big fuzzy brown bear.

hey guys, im an animator/artist myself, and im looking to start a new project. I actually have three I would like to start up, but I have never seemed to have luck with the first two as far as coders go. I will list all three projects anyways, hit me up at cmkinusa@yahoo.com or just pm me if you are interested:

Project Sin:
you play as a double agent who, after being discovered, became the main experiment of a dark organization, who have forced psychic abliities upon you. After a blackout sends the whole facility dark, you make your escape and are forced to fight through the facility, using your newfound powers. But who is it that caused this blackout, and can you trust them?

Project Sin is a 2d scrolling shooter with similarities to psyops, where your powers take the center stage...physics are a key component of Project Sin, you have been warned

The Blood Throne:
After a dark and mysterious figure rises and unites the raving orc warbands, you, the Emperor's leading general, are tasked with fending off this new enemy and defending the Emperor at all costs!

A tower defense game with a distinct focus on storyline, The Blood Throne hopes to create a whole new experience in flash games, with cutscenes, an epic plot, and some truly beautiful graphics.

Tactical Defense:
After a viscious coup in Germany, several countries are on the alert. Hoping to reverse the government takeover before the rebellion's dictator gains complete power, the US hires the services of a covert mercenary organization known only as Tactical Defense Corp. Stakes are raised as the dictator executes the president and states that he will "bring the sky down upon the enemy", a clear indication of nuclear power.

Tactical Defense is a strategy board game, with a deep focus on your squad. As your squad gains experience in the battlefield, they will gain the ability to specialize themselves into many other subclasses within their prime class. This unique system allows players to custom tune their squad to match their own strategies and preferences.

These are the three concepts I wish to push forward, and I can provide much more detail if an interest is shown in any of them. I am looking for a coder who feels he can handle the project, so please no novices or beginners in the craft. If you arent interested, feel free to pm me or something if you just wanna know more about the projects.

Tomocles, you should keep this stuff in your thread about it. Oh, and posting art really helps.

Medals
Is there a page on the medals API? I know there was a news post on it but I can't find it and the lit pages don't have anything. Do I just have to contact someone directly? Just to find out stuff like movie/game allowances and general rules.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to give away the link or not yet, so PM or email Tom about it.

Thanks for that, it will help make fewer bugs in the final seeing I have more time to integrate it :)
kudos.

it was a dumb joke several months ago and I'm too lazy to change it to anything that won't offend people

Hehe yeah I remember actually. I think it was Starogre or someone who said this little gag of yours with sig switching back and forth would soon make no sense, and that's kinda what I was getting at :)

Oh god looking back at my first posts I feel so embarrassed gosh :P The first time i encountered gust he was really nice to me, if only I knew how lucky I was then haha. Almost all the regs seem to follow the same pattern.

Yeah, i posted it in flash forums because i thought it was THESE people who would care about it, if i posted it in reg-lounge it would get lost and nobody would continue hunting for stuff, and if i posted it in general i'd just get spam. OKAY KNUGEN?! THATS WHY I POSTED IT THERE! :P Way to lock it..

You can read it here

lol, I dont have a thread about this :P I have a thread about Tactical Defense, but I just thought that someone who likes to code games would likely post in this thread, and I felt making a whole other thread about the other two games wouldnt be proper.

As for art, I have art in my portfolio and a link is now provided in my thread in this section. Sorry if it is out of place to you guys.

Hehe, no worries yo.

And YEAH! Didn't even notice but nicely done yet again monsier Jimp

Plugging a friend short:

• Unpublished Submission

It's actually really good, short, obviously, but he can lip sync really well and the animation is smoothhhh like gravy.

Is the medal API public yet?

The first time i encountered gust he was really nice to me, if only I knew how lucky I was then haha.

@HDXMike...Happy belated bidet. Also, Gust is nice to everyone, until they start saying dumb shit. You can't really fault him for that.

@Sam...I liked the zombie movie. I saw it coming, but it still made me laugh, and that's a good thing, because today, was straight client zombie apocalypse. Everything was wrong. Nothing was right. Panties were being twisted in a bunch. Dogs making it with cats. etc. etc.

But, there's always room for zombies. :)

Say I wanted to use copyPixels to render a game, but I have no idea how that works. What would be the first place/site/page I need to check to start learning?

COLLEGE & FLASH
So I'm going into 10th grade in the coming school year, and it just hit me that I'll be off to college in a few years. I want to get into a pretty good college, which my school and parents tell me requires a bunch of extracurricular activities. I'm freaking out about it, because I have zero interest in doing any of the camps or activities offered in my area in the summer, and I don't think I'm legally able to get a job yet.

My question to all of you who started Flash in or before high school is, do colleges recognize Flash development as an "activity", and do they see it as a "large" activity or a minor one? If so, do they take into account the amount of time you've spent with it and the relative failure or success of your games?

I'm worried that my time will dwindle away and I won't have any of these "activities" to show for myself, even though I do a great deal of work with Flash. The counselor at my school tells us that even students like me, who have straight A's, don't get into a good college without having a bunch of these extracurricular activities.

Are my fears reasonable or am I just worrying for nothing?

YARRRRR! HOW BE DOING EVERYBODY?!

Go to the language reference for whichever actionscript version you are using, then find the bitmapdata class, then read up on how the methods work, then look for tutorials on the internet if things aren't entirely clear.
