Hi i'm ali and i'm an alcoholic.
But really, good to see you two are still around. People still working with flash? Everywhere i look there's talk of it dying.

I also made the intro to your virtual PSP - forgot about that.
Yeah I still do fairly often, I'm out of the "scene" though so I wouldn't know if it's dying.

Maybe it is partially true, but at the moment the only important thing is that today flash is still far from being dead, and making flash games is very easy. Will it keep declining and die over the next few years? Maybe. Would you have wasted any of your time by "learning" flash/actionscript and attempting to make games during the period of it still being alive? definitely not.

Adobe still has a monopoly on flash, even if you ignore it as a game platform itself, its still a great animation tool, and has a lot of tools useful for games in it.
And everyone has it installed, and browsers have it installed by default.
It isn't going away, and even if it does eventually lose its impact on browser dev, adobe seems to be slowly working on focusing it more towards games anyway.
That said they should fucking make their fucking program work right first.
I'm not sure how long FlashGameLicense.com has been FGL.com, but I'm loving the new animated title graphic on every page. I don't understand why they're so determined to shake "Flash" from their reputation, but I'm more than happy with the alternatives they've offered up so far:
FancyGreekLimericks
FrenchGiganticLava
FrenchGlassLice
FatGoblinLyrics
FieryGravityLounge
Fat Goblin has the sickest fucking lyrics on the east coast.

And now you're Toast. What a change
Can't believe these forums are dead now. 7 years ago this thing was THE place to be if you were an up and coming flash game dev, nowadays it's all people asking how to make quick cash with no effort. It's sad that kids aren't getting the same opportunities I had :(
(along with the occassional flame war!)

var tile1:Sprite = createLetterTile("d")
tile1.x = 50
tile1.y = 50
addChild(tile1)
var tile2:Sprite = createLetterTile("i")
tile2.x = 50+30
tile2.y = 50
addChild(tile2)
var tile3:Sprite = createLetterTile("r")
tile3.x = 50+(30*2)
tile3.y = 50
addChild(tile3)
Lmao.
At least not a muffin.

Wha...? You don't know what the shell command "dir" is? Okay, I'll try to explain you.
In computing, dir (directory) is a command used for file and directory listing, specifically in the command line interface of these operating systems: RT-11, CP/M, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Singularity, and Microsoft Windows. It is analogous to the Unix ls command.
Because it is the primary means of displaying the files and directories on disk or other storage medium within a command window, the dir command is one of the most basic commands employed by users of the command line interface to MS-DOS and subsequent versions of Microsoft Windows.
The dir command has existed as a DOS command since the initial release of MS-DOS. It is built into the DOS command shell, and is not provided as a separate standalone program.
In MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, dir checks for switches in the %dircmd% environment variable.
At least not a muffin.

Well you wasted your time; I'm well aware of what a directory is, and how to use a shell.
However, given the context, I just saw three letters (that don't form an English word) being placed together, 50 units apart, in a SWF application, which made no sense.
Are you emulating a shell in Flash or something?

Yeah, I don't get it either. How is typing "dir" on screen supposed to be funny in any way?

Y'know, doodle-bread, you shouldn't just copy and paste this article and pass it off as your own knowledge.

Looking at Jobs in Vancouver Canada, there are still Flash/Flex positions around. I worked for 8 months developing a desktop application with Flex, was nice to work with. And every time I see a fancy website graphic, I right click to see if its flash or HTML5. Its about 50/50 from what I can tell.

I lurked for years after going silent. Things just seemed to slow to a crawl on this board. Maybe it had to do with segregation into other boards like Art, Animation, Collaboration, etc. Sure, they spammed the board a bit, but it kept the community alive. Not worth the separation in my opinion. Then again maybe none of that had anything to do with anything.

We were all kids back then. Embarrassing going back through older posts though. I thought was so cool. : P

Since you mention it, I'll shamelessly plug a game I just recently began working on again. I started it roughly a year and a half ago and for the past 9 or so months I haven't had any time to work on it. But summer's here and I now have all the time in the world.
I'm also making an Android app with my school's music teacher. Cool stuff.

I've been working on a puzzle game with another programmer and an artist. We recently rewrote it in haXe/NME.

Good, that game's always intrigued me - looks really nice.

You need to finish that game. I want to play that game.
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know what happened to zrb? I miss that guy.
