Um i heard kia talking about a flash movie.............well i have Flash CS3 Professional and i could probably help......if i every learn actionscprit.... oh and i have Photoshop CS3 Extended

its mostly animation kia needs helpo with though voice actors never hurt

(Im a coder at heart)

Yep ive been wanting to do a good part of a year, its kinda a joke spinoff of some project someone i know is working on we loads of other peoples characters which happens to have one of mine

I dont think we'll need any actionscript, but i need help tweening/voice actoring.. i think ill end up doing the art myself, rather than Zumi help as he hasnt done anything sinse i asked him last year

lol lazzy dean ^^ well i'm gonna get started unscrambling the mystery of action script 2.0 and 3.0...............and advice Dean?

find a decent tutorial on something you find interesting. replicate it. then keep doing so until you can do it without using the tutorial.
then modify the code to make your own enhacements on it.

thanks for the mountain of specific help

ok. learn the basics such as
stop()
and
gotoAndPlay(69)

attachMovie("Moviename", "Name for reference", _root.getNextHighestDepth)

You knoiw, basics

if you want to learn actionscript learn how to assign an utilize variables.

at the begining of your actionscript set the variables like this.

var NameOfVariable:Number = 29

So now we have said that the variable named "NameOfVariable" is a number witht he value of 29.
We can use this to cross reference things using if statements.

if(NameOfVariable>15){
Do this thing here
} else {
Do this instead
}

Learning to manipulate things is a key issue when learning any code. Variables decide everything in a game, and so actionscript will want you to be able to do this more than anything else.



at the start of any movie, if you dont want it to do anything straight away then do this.

stop()

on frame 1 of scene 1 on any layer. i like to have a layer dedicated to code. imaginativly named "Code".
