So I'm translating a game into several different languages, one of which is Chinese. I've noticed that in a dynamic text box where English characters are included also, they aren't displayed when the .swf is exported. The font is embedded in the document with all characters selected. It seems like whatever language-character is first displayed in the text box, the other language cannot be. For instance, if there are Chinese characters first, then English, the English will not display, and vice-versa. Anybody ever dealt with this, or know what a good fix might be?

To a lady. Isn't that wild?

Alright, so I've got this song, and it has this loud repetitive boom going for pretty much the whole thing. Now I've got my mix pretty much the way I wanted. You can listen to it hurr: https://soundcloud.com/thecolorindustry/il-test-mix/s-CEAuq

Now when I'm finished with the album I'll send it to a pro mixer, but for now I like to self-master by tracks usually by just boosting them a lot and maybe toying with their EQ. However when I boost this song, that loud boom goes to crackly-crack land real quick. You can listen to that here:

The mix is not clipping, no individual instrument in it is clipping, the master is not clipping, any idea what's causing this? I usually don't hear it while I'm working on it which makes it hard to figure out where it's coming from, but my guess is it's the mastering phase. I hope it's that anyways, because I don't want to change the frequencies of that boom sound, since I like it how it is.

Man, music is frustrating. Amirite fellas.

I did another one o' dese pop punk songs. This one's a little more emo I guess. Who doesn't love emo*!?

I don't think I've posted on here about it, but my best friend/bandmate was killed in a car accident last month. He was in the hospital for about a week in a coma, but with no signs of possible recovery his family took him off life support. The day after he died I wrote this song for/about him and how we were all feeling... His partner inspired the lyrics mostly from an update she wrote online when he was still in a coma.

And man it's pretty bad.

Never sure if I should start a new thread for these, but I just finished a new song for my pop punk side project Cheddarhead.

And now we're passing them on to all you chumps! http://mattandmanny.com/savethedates.html

The top photo and design underneath are the front/back of the cards, and all the photos underneath are the rejects from the photoshoots.

Anyone get this yet/considering it? I picked it up the day it came out and so far it's blowing the first out of the water, and I loved Darksiders 1. I strongly recommend it to any action/adventure gamer. It took the first game's combo of God of War combat with Zelda dungeon and quest gameplay and added more RPG elements, some Prince of Persia style platforming, and basically have just made an amalgam of everything awesome. Also, you get to play as a horseman of the Apocalypse, which has always been one of my favorite parts. Death is a total badass and his voice is just perfect.

Seriously, tell me you don't want to play this shit:

Is this even one of us?

My work friend and I decided to finally bite the bullet and purchase two hybrid bikes (Trek 7.2 FX) for commuting to work. It's about a 9.2 mile ride. We did a test run in Wednesday night at 40 minutes, which was pretty solid, but our first official ride in this morning at 45 minutes (I blame sleepiness + legs being tired from two nights ago).

Anyone else commute or ride a lot? I'm still getting over the fear of being hit by every car on the road (which I feel is legitimate). We're ordering helmets and flashers, so until we get those I'm going to feel a little exposed I guess).

This is going to be the best thread ever, I can already tell.

I've been kind of hypochondriac-ish lately... I've had a swollen lymph node near my groin for six months or so. My doc told me to keep an eye on it but he wasn't worried. But I just discovered another one in my neck. So to distract me from thinking I've got cancer, I'm wondering, what diseases does the ClockCrew have?

Let's try to avoid psychological problems, for the sake of the thread. I just assume it'll be littered with "depression/anxiety/asperger's" if we don't.

As a bonus question, what diseases are you terrified of getting?

I'll start. I have eczema I GUESS, but I never have rashes or anything, my skin just occasionally itches when it gets dry in the winter and even then I barely notice it. I'm somewhat terrified of getting Parkinson's. Just the thought of like, never being comfortable again in my life. I'm sure it's not that bad...

Kinda slapdash production, but hey, it's a demo. Whatchya think?

I argue with my friend about this almost every time we hang out... But I always find it interesting to argue about, probably because the answer is so elusive. Are (a large part of) the ways we behave as a member of our gender learned from our society, or are they inherent in our evolution/genetics?

I don't want to say too much on the issue cause I want you guys to kick it off, but it brings up a bunch of questions, like is it okay for women to wear makeup or are they playing into their own marginalization? Same goes for dress style. Discuss damn you!

Hey, I'm trying to program a site with some cool as-based skewing functionality. I found this simple chunk of code online that does exactly what I need it to:

import flash.events.Event;

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, kk)

function kk(evt:Event):void
{
   
   var rotY: Number = (mouseY-(stage.stageHeight/2))/(stage.height/2)*(10);
var rotX: Number = (mouseX-(stage.stageWidth/2))/(stage.width/2)*(-10);
box_mc.rotationX = rotY;
box_mc.rotationY = rotX;
}
If you want to see it work just plug it into an AS3 file and make a movieclip with a center anchor point and give it instance name "box_mc" and move your mouse around.

Main issue is this code works in AS3, but AS2 doesn't load the "Event" class. I'm pretty ignorant of classes in general so I don't know how to go about converting this to AS2 functionality, or if it's even possible, but since the code is so simple I thought it might be doable. Any suggestions?

NINJA EDIT: In case you're wondering the reason we need it to be in AS2 is because this site is due in three days to meet the ad campaign going with it and the main skeleton of the site has already been built by a colleague o' mine in AS2.

Then get crackin'!

I recently started painting/playing Warhammer again with the release of 8th edition. I feel like my pieces are pretty successful so far, but I'm notoriously slow so that doesn't help me complete a whole army (even though it's my dream).









If anybody else has some miniatures they'd like to show off, feel free to hijack this thread.

We're called Matts Play because we're both named Matt.

Probably not all that entertaining but figured I'd post. Doing Rule of Rose right now.

Hey guys, I'm working on a project where the client wants to be able to rotate a 3D render of a house. All I'm doing is creating a movieclip with 21 images of the house at different rotations, putting a stop script on each one, and on the main timeline adding some code telling it to rotate when I press on the hit area. The current code I have works alright, but figures out which frame to show based on the x value of the mouse. Because of this, if I want to lift up my mouse and go back to the left side, press and continue to drag right, the house images will simply jump back to the left-most frames. Basically I want it to let me click and drag from whatever frame is currently selected - if the mouse moves right, nextFrame, moves left, prevFrame, and to loop when it reaches the end so it does 360's. Take a look at the link, that'll help I'm sure... Any help would be appreciated.

Here's ma code on the main TL:

stop();
//Tells the mc which house image I want to be on display when it loads
house360Gray_mc.gotoAndStop(11);

//Timeline scrubber code
hitArea_mc.onPress = function(){
house360Gray_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var frames:Number = this._totalframes;
var ratio:Number = _xmouse / Stage.width;
ratio *= frames;
ratio = Math.round(ratio);
this.gotoAndStop(ratio);
};
}

//Tells it to stop rotating when I'm not clicking
hitArea_mc.onMouseUp = function(){
house360Gray_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {null;
}
}
