[How to make buttons]

K

^^Good Points^^
Most of the information is accurate. This would be a decent guide for someone with absolutely no flash knowledge.

A button tutorial. There are really many tutorials that cover buttons, along with many other subjects, so I really don't see a point in this tutorial. The instructions aren't great, but what really set this apart as bad, is that you don't even cover the "down" and "hit" aspects of the button! Those are equally as important as the other ones, and you just left them out. Before you make a tutorial, learn the ropes of Flash.

Really I'm at a loss for here. Usually I can think of something, but really this is just bad.

I've never been a fan of shape tweens, but seriously, you used a shape tween to tween the guy into himself. Does that really make any sense at all? It's a waste of time. There is no music, which really gives this a dead feeling. The storyline also just ends in the middle of nowhere. What were you thinking when you decided to end the movie there?

A tad bit humorous. The sound quality was pretty good too, most things were easy to hear.

Unfortunately, NG is for Flash work, not home movies transfered into flash. Since you compressed this a lot to conform to NG's regulations, you lost a lot of video quality. The storyline moves way too slow in the beginning, I was bored to tears!

[RobotZ true storie]

The music was a cool tune.

Immediately, there is no preloader, and the instructions on how to play aren't very clear, and many who aren't familiar with SWF's on NG might not understand how to play the movie. Second, the storyline wasn't very exciting at all. These hyper bats come and some poorly drawn robot needs to destroy them. Not exactly what I would call an epic.

A movie of this low quality brings back memories for me, but for actual good points of the movie itself, this has none.

^^Needs Improving^^
The movie starts out with the most cliched sound on all of Flashkit, that crappy, low quality gunshot. That needs to go. Then the graphics consist of nothing but the shape tool and sparingly the paintbrush tool, then animated about as terribly as possible, along with the very believable explosion at the end. Why would you want to kill Neo anyway?

[Glock's Chocolate Factory]

K

^^Good Points^^
It surprised me how much this entertains me. The graphics were well done in this. You had good drawings in this movie; good shading and details. The dancing was hilarious to me too. I especially liked Ketchup glock's dancing, it's just hilarious! I also like how the music is not just one song, but many from the movie. I could listen to it forever!

This would be good if they went inside, but the festivities outside seem just as fun!

Ok, this is a mildly funny movie. I'll say that the "what can a frogbag hold?" scene is kind of funny, probably the best in the movie.

For one, everything moves way too fast. I had trouble reading a lot of the things you wrote in this movie. Also, the picture quality was very low and there really wasn't any animation in this movie. I, for one, didn't find this that entertaining.
