Re: Pop Tarts
I can honestly say I've never looked at the box. But they taste great!

Pop Tarts
Haven't seen a packet of pop tarts in around 7 years. I used to love those things, but I just can't find them anymore, I mean I've gone and I've looked but they just aren't there. =(

Pop Tarts?

I've had one before, it was ok.. that was a few years back and the only time i've evere seen one.. they don't appaer to be that popular over here :P

Looks good, no lag just the car is slow so it was hard to tell.
Nice flash snox, looks really good :)

Flash MX Blur

Nice, it's better than using a blur thing. I 5'd It.

yey..

the mvoie is my version of Daft punks electroma, which is just over an hour and has a script that could be summed up in a few sentances ( the long time during each bit is a parody of the very long scenes of nothignness i the movie.. although in the mvoie the long scenes are about 10 mins each..)

main way to tell if it's going slow, the screen is ment to flahs a dakrer colour every beat...

Re:Flash 6 blur

Looks pretty cool LordSNox, I think what you should do is have it as it is at the start, but then jump cut forward so you're on a more close up shot of the car. In this second shot you could then show off the heat waves and have them be more erratic(or less-so in the first shot).

I think heatwaves have been done in a flash before, was it in Fallen Angel? I don't remember. It may of been by the guy who did Xin, that action flash he made about a year or two ago..

I didn't think you meant today :P. Any who, submitted to collection, reviewed and voted 5. Nice game, with both good art and programming :).

Jellyfish

It aggravated me how pretty soon you would just start spawning where the garbage was so it was stuck to you before you could avoid it.

Pop Tarts

Not to be an ass, but I don't really care how many Pop Tarts you eat and how often. I wanted to see if anyone else noticed the similarities between the commercials and Don Hertzfeldt work. I ended up looking up Pop Tarts on Wikipedia just now to see if there were any examples of their commercials and I found this:

In 2005, Pop-Tarts began a new campaign for promotion which they titled "Crazy Good". Through the usage of intentionally poor animation the commercials were simple and, rather than describing how delicious their product was, the commercial usually simply portrayed a pop-tart in a humorous condition. Characters that appeared often were a singing lizard and a group of kids, dubbed "crazy-good kids", who commonly frightened the pop-tarts and caused them to be eaten and/or run off screaming. The commercials have a distinct resemblance to the work of Don Hertzfeldt. Hertzfeldt is currently looking into possible litigation,[4] although he believes it's "a square thing to do".

The song is called Superheroes. But it looks sexy. I'd love to know how you did it, Tom showed me his and I want to learn how.

i know, i never said it wasn't.

But it looks sexy. I'd love to know how you did it, Tom showed me his and I want to learn how.

how i did it:

Layer 1, normal image, layer two, same image but expand fill (5,15) on it ( took ages to do and auses the main colour to fanish leaving only the expand fills). the expand fill ontop of the origonal image = blur :)

then just mask the bugger (using 3 black lines in shape tween moving up and down) over the origonal image..

Acutlly there are 2 masks, both at 75% alpha, one has a different size base image and a differen blackline movement loop.

and there ya go.. a poorly done blur heatwave effect that eats your cpu :D!

(Could probs do better, prehaps using AS, but i suck..)

Blur 6

I don't think it justifies what you are trying to do. It is a creative and neat effect, definitely, but I didn't really see the heat waves really. :-/ Definitely a cool effect and unique way of doing it, though.

Electroma

LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES DAFT PUNK. I cannot wait to see Electroma. zomgosh.

YO. You are in Scotland! Go fucking see Daft Punk in June! That would be the most ridiculous show ever. Rock Ness...AMAZING. Thank God they are doing a North America tour after a fucking whole decade so I can finally see them in New York in August. I cannot wait. Daft Punk is one of the few bands on my small list that I need to see before I day...now I may just have that chance. I<3DP

How do u use ur symbols?

So, flash regs, what do u use each type of symbol for?

For me, movie clips are a biggie. I put all the characters and character movement in movie clips. Props and backgrounds are movie clips. Movie Clips, MOVIE CLIPS, MO-HOO-VIE CLIPS! Buttons are used as well, buttons. Graphics are used for loops I need to control the speed of, and for lipsync mouths, and FBF frames

The record amount of symbols in my library was 132, with Dark Who? Part 1. Flash didn't mind it too much. I mean, I can never get a lot of symbols because some things still stay vectors.

Tweens

How do u guys use the tweening counterpart in flash? I use it for nearly all animation, sometimes even lipsync when it would be smoother. I use FBF when I can't pull something off with tweening, like lipsync and special effects.

Tweening

To be honest, I like fbf more, I feel it can have more versitile outcomes and you can be so much more creative. As for lip synching, I hope you dont shape tween the mouths, that would'nt look nice.

Pop-Tarts

I dont think the covers here resemble the ones in the US.

Jellyfish

Nice game, Unique with coding and art :)

Electroma

Arthur gostly loves them too lol ;)
Electroma isn't really that good though, no daft punk msuic in it at all, it's an artsy movie about the daft punk robots quest to become human.. it's 1 hour 9 minutes long or so but could be done in 4 minutes ( thats what i'm doing, in my own style using daft punk music :))

YO. You are in Scotland!

YO, yes i am.

blur 6

One reason why i used that effect is just to see what i could do in flahs 6.. will be doign some other random effects too just to see what can be done using the limited knowlegde i have :P

also, no jpgs or imported crap < like tracing and movies and shite liek that> i feel that make it look cheap :P

Who is InfinateLoop?

Good question

Jellyfish

i 5'd when it was under, it has a great score, prehaps 1st or 2nd place ;)

lol its .02 lower than the highest scoring flash so far today :(
oh well it could all change anyway with more submissions :D

RE: Jellyfish!!

I think its pretty cool. The engine is original as well. Overall it was fun.

DP Sonx

Soo...you'll go see them in June? The show will be OUT OF CONTROL. My bro in London is flying out to Scotland JUST to see them. It'll be that worth it.

Gah, no DP music in the movie? That is so lame...is it all still electronic stuff though? Meh, I am still definitely going to see it. They are too fantastic not too.

Yeah, if Fuzz & I ever make a sequel we'll be sure to have a 3 second count-in or something.

Re-Animator Cam

Awhile ago some of you may remember me not being able to get this new V-cam to work. I figured out what was gone on finally. I was using the 'Rotate' Function in the Properties menu to rotate the Camera...for whatever reason it wouldn't register this and nothing happened. But, using the free transform tool it was able to rotate and zoom perfectly. I'm pleased because now I can finally use this awesome camera and it annoyed the hell out of me before. Just thought I'd let you know. Curious why that way of rotating wouldn't work, though...

wow, u really need to read a imdb review ;)

RE: Re-Animator Cam

That reminds me of a question, does the V-cam work on Flash 6? Or does it only work with a certain AS on Flash 8?

You have to find a cam that is MX compatible. Most aren't, so you will have to look around a little bit.
