It's working from here nicks Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:58:00 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21435/portfolio-layout#comment-2005 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21435/portfolio-layout#comment-2005 hmm, what about now? nicks Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:39:36 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21435/portfolio-layout#comment-2002 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21435/portfolio-layout#comment-2002 Cool effect nicks Wed, 08 Aug 2007 09:27:45 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21144/text-effect-light-ball#comment-1867 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/21144/text-effect-light-ball#comment-1867 Thanks - Glad you've found them useful! nicks Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:05:49 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20487/full-flash-website#comment-1232 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/20487/full-flash-website#comment-1232 Thanks! :D nicks Mon, 02 Jul 2007 14:52:21 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/19892/create-a-zombie#comment-1165 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/19892/create-a-zombie#comment-1165 Pretty cool - I like the look. nicks Wed, 16 May 2007 18:34:49 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/18549/calendar-icon#comment-923 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/18549/calendar-icon#comment-923 Nice little application you've made there. Some improvements would be to use a loop to attach and rest the buttons, rather than manually typing out all of them. Anyway, good job! nicks Sat, 21 Apr 2007 12:15:38 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/18047/create-a-dynamic-football-field-with-adobe-flash-and-actionscript#comment-673 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/18047/create-a-dynamic-football-field-with-adobe-flash-and-actionscript#comment-673 For me, the tutorial is over complicated. I would have just created the 2 text fields manually, assign x & y variables to them and just put this on frame 1: this.onMouseMove = function(){ x = _xmouse; y = _ymouse; } While adding listeners and creating text fields with code is nice, it's harder to explain to the novice, especially when all you want to display is 2 values. nicks Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:15:07 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17631/find-out-mouse-position#comment-549 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17631/find-out-mouse-position#comment-549 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. nicks Sat, 14 Apr 2007 20:37:46 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17703/realistic-smoke-effect#comment-546 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17703/realistic-smoke-effect#comment-546 Hi. This tutorial has a good explanation of the two main types of button, and is quite thorough. I would have mentioned somewhere that you can use movie clip symbols for buttons, which allow greater flexibility than regular button symbols. A good tutorial, nevertheless. nicks Sat, 14 Apr 2007 19:38:43 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17790/making-buttons-in-flash#comment-543 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17790/making-buttons-in-flash#comment-543 Very detailed explanation - Recommended for beginners. nicks Wed, 11 Apr 2007 07:54:05 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/16929/how-to-make-web-2-buttons-with-actionscript#comment-465 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/16929/how-to-make-web-2-buttons-with-actionscript#comment-465 I'll like the outcome and it has a nice and detailed explanation. nicks Wed, 11 Apr 2007 07:38:25 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17542/crumpled-paper-effect#comment-464 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17542/crumpled-paper-effect#comment-464 I'll take that on board, Eli. I know someone voted this a 1, and i don't mind that, but it's nice to have some comments about what they didn't like. I appreciate the feedback - Thanks! :) nicks Wed, 11 Apr 2007 07:01:20 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17587/glitter-text#comment-463 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17587/glitter-text#comment-463 Thanks Chris - You learn something new everyday :P nicks Fri, 06 Apr 2007 16:28:15 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/blog/5-new-rss-feeds-new-category-new-date-views-bug-fixes#comment-380 http://www.good-tutorials.com/blog/5-new-rss-feeds-new-category-new-date-views-bug-fixes#comment-380 You can preload it to make it load bit by bit, just as it would with HTML. I agree with the search engine part though. nicks Wed, 04 Apr 2007 18:50:49 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17265/graphic-design-studio-web-layout#comment-326 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17265/graphic-design-studio-web-layout#comment-326 I kind of agree with Dylan. Several of the "actionscript" tutorials may look "cool", but a lot of them also include steps like "paste this code on frame 2". I'd expect tutorials in the actionscript section to at least explain some reasoning behind part of the code. nicks Mon, 02 Apr 2007 16:16:12 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/blog/5-new-rss-feeds-new-category-new-date-views-bug-fixes#comment-284 http://www.good-tutorials.com/blog/5-new-rss-feeds-new-category-new-date-views-bug-fixes#comment-284 Hmm, I'd be interested in the comment for why is got a 1/5. nicks Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:30:13 +0000 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17115/dynamic-starfield#comment-223 http://www.good-tutorials.com/tutorial/17115/dynamic-starfield#comment-223
