Here's a tutorial I did to teach you guys a neat little actionscript trick. The whole tutorial is done in flash and is found below.

(the yellow character in the last frame is Clyde, the fullbody character from a webtoon I have in the works)


I take it this should go in the actionscript tutorials section, if a mod could be so kind as to move it for me ;)

Bravo! My cursor pwns now! Thanks mate.

Sorry, a person who picked up their copy of Flash cannot follow along that well.

It took me a while to learn how to make a movie clip, and you lacked the fact that you must press F8 to make a movie clip.

Besides that, I did learn a few things.

NIFTY! lol that was pretty cool. too much code though.

i went through insert to get a movie clip and i had fun making blood with it rotating balls exploding gernades its endlees posibilitis

wicked tutorial :D gonna make 1 now

cooooooooooooooool

Nifty tutorial. I'll proably try that out some day. Now now, sime I'm busy trying to design my own tennis ball cannon. But some day...

The tutorial didn't work for me. At best, I got a funky laser light show. It only showed the first frame of the "effect", and it would only load one of the "effects" at a time.

What in the Hell am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Here, let me show you what I'm talking about.

Well either the pirates AS is wrong.... Or you're doing it wrong.
I'm going with the latter.

I copied the tutorial step by step. I even went over it again and again to make sure I'd done everything right. Still, that was the best result I could produce.

Grubber: No, I copy/pasted directly from the tutorial.

Try it without the glow. What exactly is the individual white drop looking thing supposed to look like when it's animating?

There is a slight error if i remember, read through the code and you'll find it.
