My Sheezy feels so alone...posted Oct 29th 2011, 4:01PM
Mood: Sick
Music: Augustana - Boston
Seriously, I've talked to no one. As far as I can tell, everyone is still here, but this place feels so barren, I'm just unsure.
I miss everyone, excluding no one.
Right now, I am sick... Not flu sick. Not fever or cold sick.
Like colon needs surgery and crap sick. I'm going to be diagnosed soon, like in the next couple days maybe. I've been in unbearable stomach pain for the past month. Missed 3 weeks of school. I was really bored that whole time, so I made a bunch of stuff. It's all on my website and YouTube channel.
Somehow I'm a YouTube partner, which means I get paid for my videos, unlike most YouTubers. I know a lot of you are thinking, "how?!" and the best explanation I can give is that I made a popular Sonic video 2 years back, then I made a sequel to it. Those two videos caused YouTube to invite me to become a partner. Now I get paid. Not much though because I get very few views to my videos. My website isn't doing as well as I'd like it too, but it is growing, which I'm glad about.
All of my computers have some problem that makes them considerably immobile.
-My HP needs a new battery, so it must remain charging.
-My MacBook needs a new sound card. It plays no sound.
-My netbook is trash. Always has been. Always will be.
And I don't have anything else decent to work with, so I use the immobile HP. So I'm stuck at home. Well, I'm stuck at home anyway, but that doesn't mean I like having an immobile laptop. I can't sit in a comfortable position with it.
So my point is that I'm stuck at home with shit computers and I'm ill. I sometimes blog to pass the time. My main blog, or work blog as I call it, is my website. My personal blog is on Tumblr. Sometimes I make vlogs because they're more fun to make, yet more time consuming.
I'm into Actionscript 3.0 now, just to keep people updated. I can make different types of games, but my specialty, and favorite, is platformer games. I still do Actionscript 2.0, in case you want to collab but only have Flash 8 or lower.
I also do a few other languages, PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Python, although Actionscript is my main, and I have not used any other language to make games. I really want to start with Java and C though. I've heard good and bad about them, but I have one motive, and that is to make games.
I will return to this place, hopefully, I make new friends, or better yet, find old ones. I'd like to use my extra time productively, maybe do some collabs, movies, vlogs, games, music, and whatever else.

I haven't been on Sheezy for a while so a lot has changed.
I no longer have a teacher website. I still have a website though. I mainly use it to post videos (most not flash).
Soon, hopefully, I'll be exporting a lot more games and flash movies. I now know AS3, AS2, HTML, CSS, some PHP, and some Python. I'm going to learn Obj-C sometime when I get around to it. I also am switching my main
If anyone needs me to help them program something, or collab on a flash, I'm open. Email me (mmautrey@gmail.com) or PM me (but I don't know how often I'll be on SheezyArt).
I do not have a PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii at the moment so I can't add anyone by gamertag, PSN Id, or Wii friends. In the future, I may get a PS3, so I'll keep people updated on that!
I'm not a professional at programming. I only know how to make games and websites; I'm only in highschool. I'd love to help whoever needs help, but I can only do so much.
Thank you for reading! I'm always looking for a new friend, or an old one.
Sure. I'll even color code it for you!
Make a movie clip (we'll call it A). on the first frame, put in the action script:
stop();
_root.stop();
And on the second frame put the play button. 'finished loading' animation optional.
This is the code for the button:
on (release) {
_root.play();
}
Make another movie clip on the first frame (This one's called B). click on it, and put in this code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var loaded = Math.round(100 * (_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal()));
if(loaded >= 100){
_parent.nextFrame();
}
}
That'll give you a variable that will give you a number from 1 to 100 that represents the percent loaded.
on the inside of that movie clip, you can do one or both of these things.
1: Make YET ANOTHER movie clip (C) and paste a code into it.
2: Make a 100-frame animation and make a little edit to the code earlier.
For 1: Make an image that represents a load bar inside the third clip. Then get out of it and select it, stick this code on it.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._xscale = _parent.loaded;
}
The image will expand to full size, and when it's full, the movie is loaded.
For 2: Make a 100-frame animation in the "B" movie clip. then make this edit to the coding of "B".
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var loaded = Math.round(100 * (_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal()));
gotoAndStop(loaded);
}
And that's all that goes into making a preloader. kinda intimidating, but easy to understand in managable chunks.
I've tested it, it works. I think. >and here's the .FLA version, minus the music.<
