why flash. why.

Posted by LewToons - March 7th, 2011


why cant flash make boxes with rounded corners more easily.

and why are drawing objects always getting in the way of everything.

and why is snapping so annoying. you get so mad and finally turn it off only to discover i need it some random task.

why. oh why.

i hate that flash guy....but he always keeps me coming back....so hard to stay mad at you...

round edged boxes are easy. just set the corner radius of the rectangle tool to 5 or 10 or whatever.

but why arent they MORE easy is the question...because if i set that radius(which is a hassle) then next time i got to draw a straight corner rectangle they will be all curved up! - - it needs to be like in illustrator where its just one of the base options like a circle is....and yes, i am that lazy haha

erm...
you can make illustrations in illustrator or potoshop and eport or just drag all the layers from photoshop or illustrator onto the stage in flash and export it like that
reduces the frustration a bit

turn of the magnet to stop snapping

ahh but there in lies its annoyance... once you turn it off you just so happen to NEED it for something totally random - perhaps i should specify

LAAAAZZYYYYYYY

i feel yah, the list could go on forever

And the bugs, you left out the bugs.

I like the snap feature for text. Just zoom in 2000% to edit perfectly.

GOT IT BOY

Have sex with Flash and your relationship gets really awkward.

have you seen flash naked?....ugh..bunch a weird coding and shit...

You forgot another thing that sucks about flash;

WHY CAN'T THE LINES COME OUT THIN AND SMOOTH WITHOUT ZOOMING IN TO 300%!

Hey man easy. You have Flash CS5? Because it starts getting more complicated as you upgrade. I'm pretty sure you can turn off snapping.

Meanwhile, the starving children in Africa...

BITCH BITCH BITCH.
jk, there's plenty to bitch about. :/ Lately I've been having some stupid-assy problem importing files. If it's not one thing it's something else. lol

Why can't breathing be easier for morbidly obese bitches?

ooooh snap! you're serving up some harsh browns this mornin'

HOW DARE I HAVE TO TURN ON THE SNAPPING TOOL WHEN I NEED IT WHY DOESN'T IT JUST KNOW WHAT I WANT CLICKING A BUTTON IS MUCH TOO COMPLICATED.
Fuck man, you're using a program which does everything for you. You're only 22 and you're making cartoons independently. No expensive studio equipment, no masses of dollars put into the production, no team of people you have to pay just to colour in all your pictures, no paint, no paper.
I know it's cool to be angry at the big companies and how they screw you over, but a huge team of people built and funded this program and made animating a possibility for you. You're completely dependent on these guys and while I'm not saying you have to be immensley grateful or you should animate using entirely traditional means, you could at least be humble about it.
How could they make the snapping tool easier than a button that you unclick? How? I can't think of anything.
It's like bitching about fast food taking too long. You didn't kill the animal and ship all the ingredients in, so it's still saved you an immense amount of time and effort. Nobody owes you any level of service, you can just go catch your own food. I'm really, really struggling to think of something pettier than bitching about having to turn off the snapping tool.
Fuck.
Go program your own software.
On an operating system you made.
In a house you built, eating food you cultivated.
Or stop bitching about everyone elses attempts at making your life easier.
Either way.

haha yeah man, im aware of all that - i'm sure you've been annoyed while animating sometimes too. not like im complaining to the company...just a post on newgrounds haha - - anyways like i said i'll always love flash

for rounded corners- holding down the down key while dragging the rectangle tool should do it. or make a rectangle primitive then slide the corners with the arrow tool.

snapping- a simple ctrl+shift+/ is something that I've gotten used to.

ahhhh now that's more like it!

And why it always ask me- don`t send or send error report :D

Way to flip shit, aardvark.

poor child, this relationship must be so hard...
