By the way, the same thing happened to me when I tried to make my Freezed Mania. I got a virus and then my flash pro 8 got lost. So I couldn't reinstall to restart my project. So yup, that is the main reason why I left Stickpage as Freeze in the first place. No flash equals no stickpage in my head. But I got flash back, and I'm back. I might start a mania soon, but first off, I must get better, etc. For I am a little rusty, etc.
Nice idea for a mania thing, even though it is not really a mania..

Ok, now im srsly screwed, i stay up last night and get up to 1000 frames of animation, then tday, my comp isnt opening, i take it to the shop, it says my c drive was deleted, everything, they are currentley reformating it and putting in word office and flash and other programs, so yeah im re-starting, but not in the mood to animate, this project is temp paused due t technical difficulties, i have exams this week and a half, so im gna catch up in the summer, gna work alot, i need some help with the menu, wanna make it looks better, i need one more person to join and thats it.

Damn, this is like the 15th(literally) mania/big project slowed down/stopped due to comp or anything not working. I swear that the "Animation Hater" is out there. He's a virus. T_T

Also, I can help with the menu.

backing up is fun, the lags, the possible crashes. BUT NO MOAR, I got myself a 500gb external hardrive!!!!1

if you need one they's at bestbuy for around $157

Got ma laptop back, got firefox, my cousin is getting me flash back on a disk, so i can set it up and work ma magic and have it free. The comp guy didnt put flash, he said he dun have it, anyway yea if anyone has any suggestions about the menu, u can help, basically i just need a menu that has a play button, and 2 buttons that show the teams, and a decent background with a color mix of blue and orange. The rest i can do, everybody who has helped will be credited, computer is currentley real slow, the speed should be up and good soon, so yeah after exams i'll be working like hell, since my lab report and arabic social studies project got deleted, the night i finished everything without my group, i have to do it again because its due tommorow, done with social studies now for the lab report see ya next week guys, btw infected will be added.

Thanks bro, and for the background, I can probably help... Here goes what my entry for the background contest looks like:

Woah, you guys are good at art, PM me, I need to ask you guys a favor if possible.

Anyway, back on subject, I'm still here for the menu help... I know how to work buttons and all...

wow guys very nice, its hard to decide, and yea the guy who fixed it apparentley didnt assume this would happen and again, well, it did so now i took it back, and he said he wuld try if it happens again i'll have to use my 6 year old bros new hp windows vista laptop instead of my old windows xp. So yea im get flash for him in the summer, anyway the animating is under pause so i guess i could wait until my exams are over next week, in the mean time keep making any suggestions you have in mind, art, design, backgrounds.

I think what the problem is, trust me, I'm a proffesional when it comes to computers. Your computer, is trying to commit computercide. I've seen it happen before(seriously).

Ok, BBO is back, finished exams for good, and i have tome to animate, i will even animate when im traveling, ok, so far im working on the background, its not much, but im making the fight between the 2 guys longer, they will be continuosly changing locations where they fight, using different weapons and such, i hav gotten much better since the past month. Hopfully this will turn out great.

Edit: I need a preloader, i really know nothign abut actionscript, i'll try looking it up, but i need help with the preloader, i dont really mind just making a preloader, forget the menu, i just need a good preloader.

Just use the official SPP Preloader...

But if you want, I might be able to find a way to make the bar blue and orange...just maybe...

I can make preloaders, bars with any colour.

Its alright, for now im just going to use the newgrounds preloader, for now, probably wont get into actionscript much, anyways ive gotten 15 frames done, gna work on graphics and bg, starts out with the guys battling it out, as u know (or not ) blue and orange are opposites on the color wheel, therefore it makes perfect sense that they are fighting, and this time the graphics are way better than before, they start the battle on an open field, from stones bg tutorial, this is gna take time, since i want to make this a long fight in the current location, feel free to suggest the next location of their fight, any throwable object in it, and things that can be factors for the fight, and anything that can be used as a weapon.

Edit- Here it is so far if u wanna see somethin, u can see my meaning of better graphics http://antiup.net/view/5060/

It looks like the fight starts in way too fast.. You should make them stare down each other first or say like the player's name as they stare each other down.. To make up as a intro or something for every character or just this point in the begining? It'll help the audience not get confused....
Other than all of that, GOOD =]
