Flash is an Ass

Posted by Zeebra - April 3rd, 2013


I just need to blow off some steam and ramble on about how difficult life is in the Collab world...

Over the last two weeks i have been working on the 60 Frame Collab. Laboriously combining 53 parts with a menu has been a challenging task. I had flash crash on me a million times so I was forced to compile the animations separate from the menu. Only to find combining the menu and animation together was a nearly impossible task. After another gazillion crashes I managed to copy one animation at a time into the menu. Hours later I couldn't import sound into the huge fla file due to lack of virtual memory even though I have 16 gigs of ram. So I ended up giving my computer 100 gigs of virtual memory. Then there was an issue with the preloader, so I had to go teach myself how to make one. Unfortunately I was only able to upload one sound track into the animation and every time I tried adding a soundtrack to the menu Adobe Flash Crashed on me. Then I added links to Animators user pages but the AS isnt working.

onRelease = function() {getURL("http://zeebrafication.newgrounds.com/", "_blank"); };

So what am I doing wrong?

So to all involved I have uploaded a preview for you to see and I will be uploading it for votes and comments soon.

I know I don't make much sense in this post but it made me feel sooooo much better...

Anyway look out for the 60 Frame Collab launching at a Newgrounds near you.

This makes me more appreciative of the older versions of Flash. (MX, MX 2004, and 8) If Adobe were smart, they'd give the program, format, etc. to a company that actually cares about making quality software.

Can't agree with you more. But they didnt do bad at all with Illustartor and photoshop.
Im using Cs4, would you say that flash 8 would be a better version to use?

Sounds problematic! You'd think 16GB would be enough for anything. I only have 3GB myself, but that's enough for most purposes. Will definitely keep an eye out for this collab!

That code looks like AS2 apart from the '= function'. If it is, cutting that out should make it work. I don't know any AS3 though.
