Hey guys! :happy:

I'm ShadeLite (real name is Mervi) and I'm from Finland. I'm beginner on flash.
Last time I really used it was at school and now I'm using Macromedia Flash 2004 MX. I have few mini things lately.
I hope I can lear something from here.

Here is one mini thing I have done, click the pic and it will start.
Plotting alone (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20046293/)

^_^ See ya!

Whoa, finland. That's new.

Well, about the fash, make more frames in less intervals for frames to get it smoother. Every 1 second doesn't quite cut it, but you're learning.

Thanks.

Well, I trying to learn how to use Motion tween. Using keyframes is getting to annoyance.

Horray for DevArt! =D
Ahaha, the flash was cute. I agree with Treefalse though, the movements can be smoother. But you're just learning and I don't know anything about flash at all. Heh, keep up the good work.

I'm new... been visiting the G-site for a long time, but only just joined the message board a day ago. I live in the Land of Oz (Australia). In my spare time I like watching anything funny, especially manga, and playing old computer games (MAIM, arcade stuff, etc) on my souped up PC (what a waste of $$$, but at least I have fun ;) )
:chococat_ I also am seriously addicted to chocolate! And spend most of my waking hours in a hyperactive state (unfortunate side effect).

Hey, I'm Chester and I'm going though one of the stages of becoming respected on the internet (the part where you start getting involved with the creation of flash-bad fbf animation coming soon!). I like dnb (drum 'n' bass), and often let my internet life spill over into my real life, i.e. seriously concidering buying t-shirts, saying "pwned!" and "[something]'d!", burning CDs of legally aquired music, and introducing my parents to some of my sites. Plus I'm a vegitarian, 'cause it's the kinda thing you say to girls to make you seem cool.

Acting like you really care is a reason for me to hate you. I don't like people who beg for other's approval, especially over the internet.

Approval??? My friend, I am simply being friendly! Sure, I act strange sometimes, but thats sorta why I'm here in the first place! All I'm trying to do is meet new people and make new friends...if you do not wish to be my friend, then I honestly couldn't care less (not to be rude), there are those that do.
The reason I wrote what I did at first was so not to get involved in whatever was going on right before I arrived between anonymous people...not to beg for attention sir!

interesting(ponders on about useless crap)

mcr = emo not gothic.

Since when can't goths listen to My Chemical Romance? I didn't know you had to stay strictly to a catagory that matches your sterotype. Gee, maybe someone should tell her that she needs to change her musical preferences because she doesn't conform. Good going picking on the 11 YEAR OLD.

Ok point taken.

mcr = emo not gothic.
Mcr isn't Emo.

Emo is not the music you hear on mtv as some of you HIP teeny boppers might think.
In 1985 in Washington, D.C., Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto, veterans of the DC hardcore music scene, decided to shift away from what they saw as the constraints of the basic style of hardcore and the escalating violence within the scene. They took their music in a more personal direction with a far greater sense of experimentation, bringing forth MacKaye's Embrace and Picciotto's Rites of Spring. The style of music developed by Embrace and Rites of Spring soon became a sound, later referred to as "emo-core". As a result of the renewed spirit of experimentation and musical innovation that developed the new scene, the summer of 1985 soon came to be known in the scene as "Revolution Summer". Within a short time, the DC emo-core sound began to influence other bands such as Moss Icon, Nation of Ulysses, Dag Nasty, Shudder To Think, Fire Party, Marginal Man, Grey Matter and largely released on MacKaye's Dischord Records. The original wave of DC emo-core finally ended in late 1992 with the collapse of Hoover.

As the DC scene expanded, other scenes began to develop with a similar sound. In San Diego in the early 1990s, Gravity Records released a number of records in the hardcore emo style. Bands of the period included Heroin, Angel Hair, Antioch Arrow, Universal Order of Armageddon, Swing Kids, and Mohinder. At the same time, in the New York/New Jersey era, bands such as Native Nod, Merel, 1.6 Band, Rye Coalition and Rorschach were feeling the same impulse. Many of these bands were involved with the ABC No Rio club scene in New York, itself a response to the violence and stagnation in the scene and with the bands that played at CBGBs, the only other small venue for hardcore in New York at the time. Much of this wave of emo, particularly the San Diego scene, began to shift towards a more chaotic and aggressive form of emo, nicknamed "screamo".

By and large, the more hardcore style of emo began to fade as many of the early era bands disbanded. Even still, a handful of modern bands continue to reflect emo's hardcore origins, including Circle Takes the Square, Hot Cross, City of Caterpillar, Funeral Diner, and A Day in Black and White.

Back in DC, following the disbanding of both Rites of Spring and Embrace, MacKaye and Picciotto decided to join forces in a new band, called Fugazi. While Fugazi itself was not categorized as emo, the music it created would soon influence the second major wave of emo.
At the end of the 1990s, the underground emo scene had almost entirely disappeared. However, the term "emo" was still being bandied about in mainstream media, almost always attached to the few remaining 90s emo acts, including Jimmy Eat World.

However, towards the end of the 1990s, Jimmy Eat World had begun to shift in a more mainstream direction. Where Jimmy Eat World had played emocore-style music early in their career, by the time of the release of their 2001 album Bleed American, the band had almost completely removed its emo influences. As the public had become aware of the word "emo" and knew that Jimmy Eat World was associated with it, the band continued to be referred to as an "emo" band. Newer bands that sounded like Jimmy Eat World (and, in some cases, like the more melodic emo bands of the late 90s) were soon included in the genre.

2003 saw the success of Chris Carrabba and Dashboard Confessional. Carrabba's music featured lyrics founded in deep diary-like outpourings of emotion. Where earlier emo had featured lyrics of a more dark and painful direction, Carrabba's featured a greater focus on love won and lost and the inability to cope. While certainly emotional, the new "emo" had a far greater appeal amongst teenagers experiencing love for the first time, who found solace in Carrabba's words and music.

With Dashboard and Jimmy Eat World's success, major labels began seeking out similar sounding bands. Whereas Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the other Seattle scene bands of the early 1990s were unwillingly lumped into the genre "grunge", the labels wanted to be able to market a new sound under the word "emo". Which sound that was didn't particularly matter.

In turn, the term "emo" shifted to describe a form of music entirely different from its forebearers. And, in an even more expanded way than in the 90s, the term came to encompass an extremely wide variety of bands, many of whom had very little in common. Today, "emo" is often used to describe such wide-ranging bands as Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, The Starting Line, Brand New, Something Corporate, The Used, A Static Lullaby, From First To Last, Finch, Silverstein, From Autumn To Ashes,Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance , and Alexisonfire.

The epicenter of this third wave shifted, as well. Where its major origins were once California and Arizona, the new movement had (and has) changed coasts completely. As members, fans, critics, and disapprovers can attest, the new mecca of emo is the outlying areas bordering New York City and the Tri-State Area, such as New Jersey, Long Island, and other locales of that ilk. Many of the current crop of bands (and, subsequently, their early fanbases) originated in this region of the country and progressed outward.

In many cases, "new emo" bands are simply trying to pursue their own version of the "emo" that came before on their own terms. However, the backlash stemming from the success of a few seemingly "less emo" (and more popular in the mainstream) bands, including Dashboard and The Used, has brought an increasingly substantial pool of detractors of the genre.

In a strange twist, screamo, a sub-genre of the new emo, has found greater popularly in recent years through bands such as Thrice and Glassjaw. The term "screamo", however, was used to describe an entirely different genre in the early 1990s, and the bands themselves more resemble the emocore of the early 1990s. (As a reference, see Jim DeRogatis' November 2002 article about Screamo.)

As a result of the continuing shift of "emo" over the years, a serious schism has emerged between those who ascribe to particular eras of "emo". Those who were closely attached to the hardcore origins recoil when another type of music is called "emo". Many involved in the independent nature of both 80s and 90s emo are upset at the perceived hijacking of the word "emo" to sell a new generation of major label music. Regardless, popular culture has embraced the terms of "emo" far beyond their original intentions, out of the control of the independent-minded.
[edit]

Backlash

As the chorus of detractors increased, emo came more and more a focus of derision. Like the Goth scene, people who focus on emo music tend to share a dark and emotional psyche that often makes them feel outside the mainstream. They tend to thrive on the emotional ups and downs that are brought out in the music. Detractors often joke for emo fans to "lighten up", and point out what they see as an inherent irony in bonding between self-proclaimed outcasts.

Purist punk fans also accuse emo of being too "soft" and sappy, unlike regular punk which is more angry rather than emotional, emo tends to express anger from a more emotional (and one could argue, somewhat childish) viewpoint. Hardcore punk fans are usually anti-emo because of this. In addition, rock purists, alternative-rockers, classic Metal fans, among others, dismiss emo for similar reasons, there has been an ever increasing "resistance" to emo from these fans, and anti-emo weblog communities have appeared.

In the early years of the "third wave", the derision was relatively light-hearted and self-effacing. In September of 2002, web developer Jason Oda put forth Emogame. In the game, the characters of the TV show Friends were attempting to spread mass homogeneity throughout the world, and players could assume the identities of several popular emo singers (including Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes) to fight the Friends off. The game referenced numerous emo stereotypes, but also included pop culture references such as R2-D2 from Star Wars. The game was well-received by both fans and critics of emo alike, eventually spawning multiple sequels.

In recent years, the derision has increased dramatically. Male fans of emo are often hit with homosexual slurs, largely a reflection of the "nerd" style of dress popular within the emo scene and the fact that in many cultures, males are expected to be stalwart and strong, not overly emotional; emotions are "weak" and "feminine". That mentality, however, hasn't stopped people from crying over the style and music of the emo scene.

how can something be labeled corporate if there cd's were made on an indie label. good job asshat. speaking of, murder by death was on the same records.

i say was, because they are off it now. maybe they will stay true to their roots, or maybe they will produce corporate "swill" so you can be happy and justified.

*rolls eyes* History lessons are usually reserved for school numnut.

And you're 11!!! How can you proclaim to be a goth? Is there anything you can say that will make you gothic except for the fact that you wear eternal black day in and day out?
