Hahaha what an amazing reply to a witty comment.

I'm 15. School. Easy. As. Crap.
I think 11 grade will be harder seeing as how it counts the most that year for college and it we will be learning new stuff. Grade 10 is basically a review of grade 9, with add ons. Since I already KNOW the stuff from last year, the stuff this year is just as easy, if not easier, since I know it... I mean, come on, it's like a repeat of grade 9, 'cept I'm taller and have more pubes ;) Now I have a mini afro (budum ch) </compensation>

Most of us here are flash animators/programmers. Do you guys intend on having a job that actually involves Flash?

Because i sure wouldn't like it. :P

Some people just freelance the internet with their Flash skills. Me, I plan to go onto bigger projects with more appropriate programs, but I still have much much much more self training to do before I take on any skill level classes, especially ones on other programs like C++

I wouldn't like it because i do flash for fun. Because i LIKE It. Therefore, If i'm being told WHAT and HOW to do something, bleah. I'd kick my boss. I just wouldn't stand it. :P

literally.

But in the meantime, i'll gain as much money as i can through sponsorship, so i can afford an art college or similar.

So do you want to make video games, or programs?

I love flash and web-design in general, so what ever I do in it will be fun for me (the more challenging the better). I understand what you're saying though.

Independent film industry, I ma do some stuff with flash but I want to have access to good 3D programs for special effects and crap if I use real people in my work.

Why not both? I love making games, it's fun, interesting, and you can gain a lot of experience doing it home alone at a computer. That way, when I get good enough to take a class and join a major game company, I'll of had some past experience and can say I've been coding since I was 13. Programs are also good, I wouldn't mind joining a company in which I have to design applications or something. I've recreated Windows in Flash, why not the real thing? =p

Have you ever made anything with c++ before? In my video game programing class last year every one but me and my friend jon (musicianmx) were using GM6, we were using flash. Later there was a newspaper article about our video game programing class and a guy who does c++ as his job came and volenteered to teach a c++ class. I cuickly got bored with c++ and moved back to flash.

That's pretty much what i want to do. Get an arts degree. But meh... it's so hard to find a good art college around here. Also, a part of me wants to be a programmer. :P so im not even sure.

Make games in what, Flash?

real games. texture artist, GIU artist, anything 2D. I cant seem to stay motivated for 3D animation/modeling and i cant see myself staring into a screen of pure code for the rest of my life.

Is this also a place where I can get help with some things? I don't want to make a whole new topic about it, since it's mostly a noob question. If so, please proceed to answering the following question:

I've been having some trouble with tweening, and I'm not diggin' it.

From my understanding, all I have to do is make a keyframe sometime in later in the timeline, drag my movie clip to where I want it, select motion tween in the properties panel, and voila. I has a tween.

It's not working.

this is what I have already, It's in .swf form, so you can't help me directly, but does anyone know where I can upload a .fla?

All I want is the guy on the left to move Up and down.

If I can't get help here, would someone be so kind as to AIM me, or PM me?

Well, Tweening only works when there is only the desired object that you wanna tween on THAT layer. Maybe that's your problem?

15...grade 10 right??? grade 10 was easy stuff. i had more time then i could handle. it was grade 11, and now 12 that has me screwed over with homework.

Grade 10 and 11? Are those the same as our Year 10 and 11 over in merry olde England? I generally found that things got easier and easier as the years went by and the teachers got more relaxed. It's not that much harder in Year 12. People keep saying that the work gets harder and harder towards the exams, but in my experience they're just constructing cunning lies to scare you.

I think so, since when I'm tweening, the arrow going to the layer isn't showing up like it did when I tested it with just a ball.

But I'm not quite understanding it, does this mean I can only tween one movie clip at a time?

You can tween as many objects as you like (within reason) at the same time but they have to be either on their own layers or nested within other graphics/movie clips.

And for future reference, make your own thread for this kind of stuff. This is the reg thread, not the help thread.

No harm done though, just keep that in mind.

School is supposed to train us for the real world, right? Well what do you do at a job?

Nah, i'd disagree. If school was meant to train for the real world, they'd make us pick exactly what we wanted to do at about 15 and train purely on that for a few years. I think school's more about separating the achievers from the non achievers. If you want to be a rocket scientist, the rocket scientist place needs to know you will be able to cope with the work. A good way of doing this is seeing how they coped with their GCSE's A levels and in university. Obviously, if they managed to get good grades for the science and stuff, it shows they're interested in science and so would be better suited for the job than others.

I presonally like the idea of homework. It's sort of taking the piss sayong "Yep you've just done 7 hours at school, now do an extra 2 more hours writing this essay!", but i think its a really good way of separating lazy people with non lazy people and in the long run will effect your grade and so help the employer be able to decide whether or not you're good enough for the job.

You'll actually be very hard pressed to find any job that involves an office and doesn't need you to work at home after your regular hours, so if you think homework isn't training you for the real world, you'd be wrong.

I just got my shiny physics degree, so I'm actually at the job-finding stage, and I've pretty much decided that I want to go into Flash full time - if not, then something in video games. The problem is, I havn't got any commercial experience and I don't have a very relative degree, so I'm finding it hard to break into the industry. Until I do, I'm stuck here at home with my parents where I have no money, no friends in the area, no transport to where my friends are and no way of going and speaking to employers directly...

Oh I know what you mean, well not to the point as if I'm cool enough to be trying to get into the industry but when I was looking through some sites for work experience stuff, there was on like every page about employment, something saying that you needed previous experience in the industry. How the hell are you supposed to have previous experience if you cant get without it (that makes no sense).

Here in Australia the government say about how important it is that we try and make it more available for people as it's a productive industry that could expand greatly, but then they do nothing about it.

I see quite a few game design schools where I am and all, and the video game industry is the fastest growing industry but I guess its still hard to get in with a company. Although I've got some connections in with Ubisoft over at British Columbia.

fuck you and your Acedemy of Design and Technology.

lol

I might go there, but it means going across the country from Alberta, so i might just look into something a little closer...but i cant really think of any at the moment.

Moving away from the school topic, have we found why DFox's game's been whistled yet?

Does anyone know the answer to this:

I created an MC of a bike doing a wheelie (all tweens). I then duplicated it and reversed the frames for the come down, but now it seems to have a rotation problem. All the rotation was done with the free transform tool, not rotated using the properties panel (CW, CCW etc).

(LINK)

So, is there a way to stop this, why does it do it etc. I'm just looking for a work around really but would also like to know why for in the future. I could just convert all frames to keyframes then do it that way.

strange, it really should work properly the way you did it. perhaps you changed the pivot point of the movie clips in up and down position? cool looking bike by the way

I would've thought a physics degree would be quite relative to programming. Perhaps you could find a job in the mechanics part of videogaming, and then work your way further into the industry from there.

Yeah, my physics stuff so far has been an unbelievable help to my ability to make games. A lot of real life Physics is spookily translatable to a game setting (especially stuff about vectors, and displacement, velocity and acceleration).
