Hi there, I'm a final year University student who has finally got some spare time on his hands. Drawing and art have been my hobby now since school, and I am a competent C++ and Java programmer who started learning AS3 around 8 months ago now and I am fairly good. I have a half-finished example of a game I can show to show my art and programming, my main downfall is the story line (I have no imagination). If anyone needs me, drop me an e-mail at cl292@ex.ac.uk. On a side note, I would expect any money made from making the game to be split fairly depending on contribution. If someone gives me an idea and expects me to do the art and programming, don't expect much. Hi there, I’m a final year University student who has finally got some spare time on his hands.

If you are interested in getting some art work in to a game and you don't mind working for free send me a whisper. I have done quite a bit of art work for my game so far, but I can find you some stuff that needs doing and can put you in the credits. Here is an example of my game http://megaswf.com/view/e9c861f4af4e1b00ec066014a39abc4b.html However, there is a lot more art and coding done than you can see here but I am in the process or re-structuring my code and so not much is happening in the game at the moment.

I am very interested in being an artist for you. It may take me a little over a year as I am quite slow at art but I have amazing results. An example of my art is this tank I have made, it has taken several months (I am on version 32 of it atm): !http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8344/tankversion32.jpg! I saved it as .jpg to make the file smaller to put on the internet, if you are interested I will send you the .bmp version as a lot of the quality is lost in file compression.

I have managed to solve the problem just by using an improved hitTest class. It does occasionally pass over very small parts without registering a hit, but it is acceptable.

Once again... why not look on Mochiads to see what it says on their website? Or... look up what 'copyright-protected' means. The creator of software, art, music, etc. holds the copyright to that creation. It doesn't protect it really, if you create a game and someone steals it, in all fairness there isn't much you can do.

Hey guys, I have a slight problem with my hitTest in my game. It is a shooter, and on every frame tick, a bullet is moved based on it's predefined speed, and it tests to see if it has hit anything. The problem is, that say I have an MC 5 pixels wide, and the bullet travels at 10 pixels per tick, more than half the time, the bullet will pass through the object without it registering a hit. Is there any solution to this rather than increasing frame rate and decreasing bullet speed (so it looks the same but the bullet is actually moving less distance per frame).

Well he may have downloaded them legally, he may have downloaded the trials and then cracked them to make them illegal, or he may have bought them. It doesn't really make much difference whether his Adobe products are legal or not, he still has the software. But I would guess from his writing that I will never see this game, will probably be abandoned after he finds out coding is involved.

That is how I originally had my preloader. However, I was told by... possibly jonathanasdf (if it was you then why haven't you told this person? :P) that you can change the "Export to Frame 1" check box to "Export to Frame 2". To do this go to File > Publish Settings > 'Flash' tab and then next to actionscript there is a button saying, 'Settings', click that and change export to frame 2 rather than frame 1. Then what you need to is set everything (except your preloader MC's) to export to frame 2, add a 'stop()' on the timeline in frame 1, and then once your preloader completes the loading, skip to frame 2. This gets rid of the need of placing instances of all the MC's on the timeline except for your preloader. So for your preloader, (in my case just a bar and text), place them on the stage, give them an instance name each and then manipulate them that way rather than addChild().
