Reviews for "The Big Fat Tutorial"
Helbereth responds:
Heh, thanks. I felt everyone needed to know this stuff and nobody was telling them how to do it. It seems to me like advanced flash artists have an aversion to telling anyone how they do their stuff - which is sad, really. Participating in the brain drain is one thing. Being the cause of the brain drain is something far more sinister.
this is awesome
easily the best tutorial i've ever seen, i give it a 5!
Helbereth responds:
Well thanks. I dunno about best, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't suck...
Thanks for the review!

Thanks
Helbereth responds:
You're only the 4000th person with a camera problem, so don't feel bad.
So far there have been 3 possible answers:
1. You're using Flash MX or earlier and lack Actionscript 2.0, which is required for the camera (MX 2004 is a later version, and has AS 2.0).
2. You copied the script wrong. Not many people do this, but it's an easy slip-up.
3. You have Flash MX 2004 or later but your publish settings are farked. To check, go to file>publish settings>flash and check the actionscript dropdown menu. If it's not set to AS 2.0, change it and the camera should function proplerly.
A few tips that came up after I finished the tutorial:
1. Make sure the camera frame and crosshairs are centered in the movie clip. Otherwise (if it's not centered), the frame will be skewed when you play it back.
2. Make sure you can see through the frame (set the alpha settings for the fill color), otherwise you can't see what you're aiming at when you adjust your camera on the stage.
3. If you have any problems feel free to e-mail me at Helberethmail@hotmail.com. I don't check every day, but I usually get around to it every few days.
I'm probably going to go through and make some minor changes to the tut over the weekend. There's a few spelling errors nagging me, and I'm going to add these tips to the camera section.
Anyway, thanks for the review!
