PixelHiveDesign comments on their tutorials

I believe you emailed me as well. You must give the bobble_head movieclip an instance name of 'bobble_head' in the properties panel. Without that step, the mouse code can not talk to the head =).

Anyone else have trouble with this? I'm using Flash CS3, AS2 file and I end up with the neck on top of the face and no mouse interaction...

thx.
1. yep, if you pull it all the way down to bottom of screen flash draws the curved line with a small break in it. But doesn't hurt the bobble head any.

2. The epileptic thing is just an idle state instead of having the bobble head go completely still. It can be tweaked. It's in the ax and ay calculations. Math.random() + 5

I know basic flash, and I found your tutorial pretty funny in fact. I enjoyed the steps, you could of been a tiny bit more explained but it was decent. A couple minor glitches.
1. If you pull her head completely down you 'break her neck'.
2. If you leave it moving after clicking it, it's head goes like, epileptic.

I love style of this tutorial:)funny, and shows what it need to show;) thanks [good]

nice job.

Your right, it does look more like chimney smoke. To make gun smoke give it a higher floatUpSpeed and a smaller puff of smoke. I had it as gun smoke and then decided that it lost the quality that I wanted people to see. Maybe I can find a nice winter cabin scene. Thanks for the comment!

Well explained, a decent effect and some actual explanation of the code (!!). I minor gripe is that I think the smoke would be better suited to something like a chimney, but maybe that's me being pedantic. :P One of the better flash tutorials IMO.
