^^ I check in on the forum a few times a week but everything seems so calm around here, so I haven't done any modding really in ages. Same goes for Flashing :( Hence the no posting.

With that said though I'm really glad that this place finally has some truly active mods again! Every forum needs that mod presence.

I wish you luck. After a dry spell, I have 3 artists I'm working with now :D

So, embedding fonts is dumb. It just did not want my font. I used the esoteric functions of the font class, and those told me the font was embedded, but it wouldn't show up in the textfield (yes, I used embedfonts before setting the format and that before setting text). Luckily, Flash Pro isn't COMPLETELY useless, and I could embed the font from a swf. Same with embedding wav audio files.

Oh Flash, you make coding bitter but embedding assets so sweet

Congrats, 4ur and Sam!

Do you have a game prototyped ready to drop some assets into? Do you have a portfolio?

Maybe you can't find an artist because you're not selling yourself properly?

I think it could be the other way around. You're presenting a really solid engine, that already has pretty good art, and you say you have experience, so it could be scaring away some people. Or maybe Rusty's right, in that, the thread you made, you never actually mentioned what the game's idea was, whether it was just a platformer or if it's a puzzler or adventure or if there's a story etc.., so maybe it's a bit hard to get hooked.

As I mentioned before, have you tried contacting artists yourself? Look for the ones that are looking for work, I'm sure there's a lot of those whether on the forum or in NG's collabinator, and also try PMing some, whether here or outside, and see if they'd be interested.

Holy balls look at my post count. Quads baby

Nice sleight of hand, but I know what you're doing. The opposite if == is !=, while the opposite of !== is ===.

I did not know that...I thought it was a stylistic choice rather than something different since java uses !=

=== and !== are literally literal :P

Is there any operator which is differently purely for aesthetic reasons?

The difference between === and == (or indeed !== and !=) is that it checks the type as well.

Strictly speaking, I literally thought == and !== were opposites, a logical assumption.

Oh gosh, I'm turning into my friend

From an objective orientation, saying the == and !== execute opposingly has no base. Classically, the logical operative is to research truth, if perhaps even conditionally separating from the falsities of the internet. In Flash especially, developing with the right frame of mind (and correct information) works to your advantage.

What the fuck are you even talking about anymore?

If I can decipher the star trek-like delivery: I think he's saying there's no logical reason to assume that !== is the one that goes along with == just because you keep the two equality signs and throw in a "!" in the front. And that a 'logical' approach would involve methodical (experimental?) research to find the answer - as opposed to reading crap on the internet, I guess.

Please stop

I tried to cram a bunch of terminology into "Google is your friend" :P

overspeaking doesn't make you look smart
