New Years

Hey guys, sorry for not being around for a while - I was out in Jersey for new years. I know you all missed me terribly. Right?

Calendar

I like the idea of an NG calendar a lot. I prefer BoM's layout, I think it'll be easier to manage, and of course there's no lag.

My own php wizardry

In my spare moments, I whipped up this neat little script that generates an image showing stats on any NG flash. It actually reads the page and extracts the info.

http://www.superflashbros.net/tools/image.php ?ngnum=356348

Try it out with any NG id number. It could be pretty useful, you could have it sitting on your site showing live stats, or you could have it loading into your actual flash movie. Of course, you wont know what id number you'll get until you've already uploaded your flash, but I've solved that problem too:

createEmptyMovieClip("image", 1);
ngnum = _root._url.split(".net/")[1].split("/")[1].sp lit("_")[0];
new MovieClipLoader().loadClip("http://www.superf lashbros.net/tools/image.php?ngnum=" + ngnum, _root.image);

The second line gets your NG id number from the url of the movie itself, and the third line loads the image into the empty clip created in line one. Be aware that if you want to test it before you upload it to NG, you'll need to name it with an existing ng id and put it on a test server in a folder like:

mytestserver.com/site.net/356000/356348_DeepS ea_Zebra.swf

In order to emulate the way NG urls work.

Feel free to play about with it. If anyone wants the php code so they can host it on their site, just ask ^_^

Really awesome concept, it broke when I tried it though, am I doing something wrong?

Awesome idea, used it for my flash, and it works perfectly D:http://www.superflashbros.net/tools/image.p hp?ngnum=345370

no it didn't ;)

BommmmTOONz Calendar

You know, I never thought of a non flash solution, but actually i think that may be best. Its clean, it does the job, it doesnt feel heavy and you have my birthday on it.

lets make out.

Nope, the problem was with the way my code read the pages. Its fixed now though, so it should read all pages, no matter how they're put together (under judgement, todays stuff and old stuff)

Hmm, can I be banned? Oh well, might as well play it safe

RE: BomToons Calender

That's actually probably easier to work with, and done in php for an easy user interface. Buzzwerd might be crushed but I don't know any php scripting anyway. Something I've wanted to learn, but am too lazy to =p

Luis seems to be going for it anyway, so whatever is better.

RE: BomToons Calendar

Aight, start submitting your events then, I already received (and approved) 5 outside of the original ones I put up on my own.

Re: 3-way

I guess I better give in since I'm the only one that can probably be banned....and I'm trying to keep my perfect ban-free record running.

*Plzure*

That's a very good question :P

Tom's script

Holy moly, I haven't tried it out, but just from looking at the results I'm flabbergastered :O

Nice work.

I've only built in handling for year specific events...so you'll have to update every year as it stands...I may get around to allowing a persistent event type eventually...

This'll be good, though, for masterswordsman's ever shifting b-days.

Hey, how's my ban history?

RE: BomToons Calendar

Yeah, I definately like bomtoon's layout better. It fits the color sceme of Newgrounds a lot better. It also lags a lot less.

@ Luis, p. 243: Fine, fine. My birthday's Sept 25... By the way, you owe me a new sig pic.

@ HandsomeJake, p. 243: Shut up already. I get enough of that crap already from Luis. Besides, I've upgraded to 3 and 4 sentence posts now. Also, Luis said he'd make me a new sig.

Guess you better submit it then! :P

RE: Calenders

Thanks for adding mine, i'll add some more un-self centered ones soon :). Out of interest, why do all the descriptions have a '-' where there should be a space :P.

Anyone got any dates they want me to add, but are to lazy to add themselves :P?

It's a weird thing with the tooltip alts and PHP (in ie: if you scroll over tank_sm.gif you can read the assciated details through a tooltip)...it doesn't like spaces....I'm kind of new to PHP so anyone who knows how to get around this, advice would be appreciated.

I've got a game and promo cartoon of the game in the works. Should both be done in the next two months.

What's everyone else got planned? Anything big coming up?

Once i have released my second fairly basic game i am going to team up with an artist and make something really good so my BA will boost up as soon as i get it. I'm hoping to move my games up a notch or two after that but keep producing them and get a nice load of money from sponsership for when i am older.

Ahem, Pico day is also Toms Bday, April 30th. I was the pro who came up with Pico's date FYI, Respect.

Nope but check his Myspace

If you wanna ad me, my Birthday is the 18th of August.

I like the look of yours BoomToons but sort out the headr, I would say either minimize it and have it about 1/4th of the size or .. I dunno, work it out yourself you lazy bastard. Get rid of the Nav-bar atleast.

I don't know why i'm nitpicking when it's just been done :)

RE: Flash Projects 2007

Well, I really want to start my series this year. I really want it to win me some awards! But first I have several "test" movies in the making.
