AntonyC's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[YAAFM 9: Michael Moore]

Hmmm

You know... That thing about the officer evicting people...
That wasn't actually a contradiction. Moore never said anything about seeing anyone ELSE being evicted by a black dude. I get the point Reg is trying to make, but... this is misleading.

Also, in regards to the Iraq war and the American people living in a forced state of ignorance... Did you know that the civillian death toll so far is about 100,000 Iraqi people? Mostly women and children...
I'm guessing... no. The newsmedia has been asked not to comment on such things. It's bad for the war.
I'm just guessing that Moore meant that the families of those dead will rise against the American military responsible.

[Nim's Winter tale]

Beautiful.

Forgot I was watching a flash!
You simply can't ask for anything more...
5/5.

[TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody]

ROTFLMAO

I'm a little busy right now (you might know why) but that didn't stop me from watching this masterstroke musical madness...
Absolutely high ...larious!
...
Oh and Thanks again for your answering my niggling question! It turned out better than I expected to say the least!
FRONT PAGE! WHOOO!!!

TmsT responds:

Yay! Hooray for Flash artists! Power to the people! Max respekt! etc

[blowflies episode 1]

DUDE!!

I HAVE to tell you now,
A flash as awesome as THIS should be on the front page, but MIGHT be overlooked because you didn't include a little thumbnail pic of your movie for the 'watch this movie' banner.
The staff at newgrounds would have to make one for your movie themselves, and there are a TON of flashes they have to review.
so next time DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR! INCLUDE A THUMBNAIL WHEN EXPORTING!

[It's Raining It's Boring]

Niiiiiiice

y'know, this loaded pretty well even without a preloader! that's cool... but it might have done with at least a partial preloader to give the movie a head start over the download time.
Still VERY good. If you left less time between gags it might help keep things a-popping, especially seeing as how there's no music to entertain us, but oh well.. cest la vie
more please!

[David's Flash Tutorial]

Gr8!

hey, VERY slick!
Howsabout some advanced actionscripting for us with the desire to LEARN!
more, MORE, MOOREEE!!!!

[Preloaders Ahoy]

Okay, I'm giving you a 5!!!

...In the hopes that you'll enlighten me.
Gr8 Idea by the way, I'll soak up whatever flash knowledge I can, but you've lost me here...
When creating a movie that progressively plays more of its self the more the movie is loaded,
you say I have to create a movie clip symbol that lasts for exactly 100 frames... Right... can do.
Next you say, on the 'action' frame (which you've outlined as the second frame in the timeline that ..uh.. has actions on it) I have to Type 'loaderclip.gotoAndStop(percent);' in the action panel -?

Spluh???

Tell me, is 'loaderclip' the NAME of the 100 frames movie clip symbol?
And won't doing this simply drag my movie through each of the 100 frames as the movie loads? -very slow on dial up.
Where do I put this movieclip on the timeline?
In the 'display' layer (as you've got it there)?
If I want an animation to run continuously while loading, yet only change at certain points through the loading process, do I create seperate movie clips to put into the 100 frames movieclip?
UGh!!!
Anyhoo, thanxamillion and keep tryin' to teach us!

Sabu responds:

The 'loader' movie you make has to be small, so it can load faster than everything else. Otherwise there's really no point. It doesn't have to be 100 frames, but for the purpose of simplicity it's just easier that way. You could make 50 frames and stop it as percent/2.

You can assume loaderclip to be the loader movie, which you place in the 'display' layer (where the percDisplay box is in the first tutorial)

You could probably make yourself an actionscripted movieclip to run only part of itself in a loop, then set the 'action' frame to move it into the next part of the animation once a set percentage is loaded, but that's beyond the scope of this tutorial.
