How would we submit 3 movies in one day?

We'd need to be co-authored.

Yeah, I figured we would just submit two under the TheClockCrew account, and have somebody else submit the third but co-author TheClockCrew.

Hey, we haven't submitted a flash with that account since 2007. 3 years of nothing, then 3 submissions in one day. Wild!

[AC Slater]

I think they should all be submitted under the ClockCrew account. I can ask Tom and see if he'd be able to allow us 3 uploads in one day though.

If we are just going to split them up and put each part on the timeline instead of doing Clam's whatever he was doing, then we should make sure to use the original .fla's where the parts are in movie clips instead of the updated .flas where they are on the timeline. Not only because it is easier, but because the original .fla's are aligned properly, whereas a lot of the new ones are off-center.

So, who is going to get this done? And who has the links to the original versions of the .fla's?

If you are going to contact Tom about this, then while you are at it you might as well ask about getting the file-size limit increased, since the second half of this and PTF2 will probably be over 10mb each.

Tom is off on vacation, isn't he?

[AC Slater]

Does anyone still have all of the .fla's on them?

Well I've just spent the past 4 hours working on getting the first part together, and then when I finally do, I get this error "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." Now I'm getting that weird messed up audio playback like we were getting earlier. Seriously, what the hell did you guys do to your files? So many unorganized and event-instead-of-stream and audio ontop of tween files haha. I've never seen more of a mess. I'm going to take a break from this for right now, get some sleep, and then try again.

^ This.

He did say he would check back time to time.

I feel your pain, hang in there. Working on those files was one of the most depressing things ever flashly-possible.

Luckily I went in and edited just about every single part in their own separate flash file, so it was easy to narrow it down to who is the primary cause of all of the problems. And that would be Lotus. I tried importing all parts except for Lotus' into the shell, and it worked perfectly. As soon as his gets introduced, bam, everything breaks.

I'm fixing it though. I should be done with the Part 1 within 30 minutes or so. We just have to figure out what to show right after Corpse's part. Right now I just have a placeholder saying "End of Part 1".

Ok so here's the first part: [FLASH=http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/draw/ea77cfd8ac0eac4bbed7697f333c47a8.swf]height=400 width=650[/FLASH]

If someone could help me with that side scene selection thing, that'd be great. Because as of right now, I don't know what the heck is going on with it. I just need to take out all of those extra names listed, and move the menu button up.

The font you're using for artist and scene selection is kind of distracting. Can you make it smaller and less fancy or would exporting it again be an asspain?

[MentosClock]

I hate to bring up MenWithoutHats again, as I'm sure everybody is tired of his messing with us from the grave, but I think we should include the altered version of his part that only shows the "meanwhile..." part because the way it leads into yoyo's part is one of the funnier moments in the collab.

If that will take too much time, though, then forget about it, since our biggest priority is getting this ready to go for tomorrow. And the current .swf you posted definitely looks good enough to submit, which is amazing considering how long people have been tinkering with this collab to make it work, so I gots to give you a high five smiley in recognition of your success:

It's all in the actionscript, somewhere there's the number 35 which is the total number, you have to change that to 16 or however many you have there

[AC Slater]

Well shit. That "can't load scene into memory" error came up yet again. I think it happens anytime I close out of the main .fla because of Lotus' part being so crazy broken and unfixable. Thanks for the fast response Sat, I'm going to try and get in there again and fix the AS. And Munglai, I'll go back and fix that towards the end of the process most likely, just because I want to try to get the meat of this thing done.

Wish me luck!

Zen thank you for being the man making things real!

[YoYoClock]

what is it about lotus' part that is so fucked up?

[RobClock]

Godspeed, ZenMicro.

[AC Slater]

what is it about lotus' part that is so fucked up?

The audio is all weird and organized in a way that flash doesn't like apparently? I don't know what it is exactly, but Lotus' and Poly's audio break the collab. BUT, right now I have it pretty much done. Munglai, I'm not going to be able to fix that side text, I'm sorry. Flash is starting to blow up because it can't even handle all of this mess. I'll be posting the final first half in a matter of minutes. Let me know if there are any bugs.
