A question though... how do you make the play buttons go to a certain frame?

Insert this code into the button, filling in both variables:
Code:
 
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("sceneNameHere", frameNumberHere);
}


Also, you can use this code in the button to make the timeline jump to a labeled frame:
Code:
 
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("frameNameHere");
}

 The run cycle looks great Zorg. Even without the arms it is very clean.
Nice work on the animation.

here is a quick wormy squeegle i did for goof

Squeeg

I have worked with some preLoader bars just goofing and the only trouble i have had is the bars dont show up right away. They would take a second or two and when they did show up the counters would be at 20 to 40 percent already.
Soo i feel your pain on getting preLoaders to work :gasp:

Like the new walkcycle Boggle. Feels kinda feminine for some reason.
Logo was cool aswell.
-------

I have a huge amount of school work to do at the moment so I almost feel guilty for spending a few hours animating, but here's some stuff :D


I've been trying to get a bit of snap action to work lately.

Here's another one. More snap action in the hand. Masterpiece audio by me and my computer desk :lol:

Allow the shoulders to drop for a frame before the head comes down. It'll give it more snap.

 hey zorg, that some sweet stuff. if you want a nice no brains preloader i got this one a long time ago of the flashkit forums i wish i remember who wrote it though..

just copy and past this in the first frame. havent tested this ina while so im not sure if itll work or not.






Code:
 
, put the code on the first frame.


Code:

stop();
var cos:Function = Math.cos;
var sin:Function = Math.sin;
var pi:Number = Math.PI;
var d_r:Number = pi/180;
var r_d:Number = 180/pi;
var midPoint:Object = {_x:Stage.width/2, _y:Stage.height/2};
var r:Number = 100;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("circle", 1);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("loadLine", 0);
circle.lineStyle(4, 0, 100);
circle.moveTo((cos(0*d_r)*r)+midPoint._x, (sin(0*d_r)*r)+midPoint._y);
for (var z = 0; z<=360; z++) {
circle.lineTo((cos(z*d_r)*r)+midPoint._x, (sin(z*d_r)*r)+midPoint._y);
}
onEnterFrame = function () {
pLoaded = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
loadLine.clear();
loadLine.beginFill(0, 100);
loadLine.moveTo(midPoint._x, midPoint._y);
loadLine.lineTo((cos(0*d_r)*r)+midPoint._x, (sin(0*d_r)*r)+midPoint._y);
for (var z = 0; z<=pLoaded*3.6; z++) {
 loadLine.lineTo((cos(z*d_r)*r)+midPoint._x, (sin(z*d_r)*r)+midPoint._y);
}
loadLine.lineTo(midPoint._x, midPoint._y);
loadLine.endFill()
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
 delete this.onEnterFrame;
 circle.clear()
 loadLine.clear()
 _root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
};


enjoy !:) this may be of some use to the some of the animators here to.

 I have updated my evil corridor of doom. Another test. I made the light swing. Looks like crap and is very similar to adams animation experiment. Different light too. Hope you enjoy.
Feedback highly welcome.

To view you need Flash 8. Or else you suck. :yfok:

 Not bad matey, but when the light is facing directly down, it looks flat, try a little shading to make it look cylindrical ;)
Also I know you, I wanna see you do a light swinging in a circular motion :D

 Hey nice goin' eviljoe.
I suggest shortening the time when the lamp is shining at you, because when it swings away there's a high difference of the time when it's the highest it can go...take a look at it and try and see what I mean. ;)

Another thing If it's swinging so high constantly then it dosent really work for the eye to have it *swing...swing...swing...swing...* and it brings down the good animtion that you put into it.
So I think if you really want to make this corridor look more real the make something like this to make it all the more better! :D

Corridor of DOOM!

So rather than constant swinging you could have constant breeze which makes more sense... :D

If you feel yours was fine then dont worry but make sure you take in what most people are saying and THEN think about it maybe. :P


Well...that was the longest post I've EVER posted...

 I'm glad for all your comments thank you :lol:
As I said, it was a test and it was crap
did it because I was pondering for some time whether I could do it or not
next time I do it for real, all your thoughts and ideas will be encorporated

 First I'll say... this is pretty bad. I know it's bad, I made it. The animation itself is more of a joke really, however that's not where my question lies.

It took me about three hours to make this, and two of those were spent trying to get the timing straight. However when I uploaded it to the internet the timing still became skewed! Can anyone suggest anything to deal with the timing issue?

 Okay... That was sorta strange how oyu started talking about something before we had seen it :huh:
The timing seemed pretty good until the endish bit.

I'm a really harsh critic of my own work.

So was the timing off for any of you?

 Hey the Mammoth
You remind me of myself
I do so much crap that I just give up on and then go on to do somthing else that is twice as good and so on
The cycle continues :P

and Max Vador
I know how hard it is to create that kinda shit
one of my friends asked me to do that exact same thing (just without the background) for a movie and I tried so many times
I eventually got it .... kinda right
but heres a tip
a) I know its hard but you need to add more parts to the reflection. It basically needs to run for a longer time (its really hard to get it back to be a cycle)

do that and it should come out good
also try adding some alpha

Hope that helped :D
