Project 3 Update

So I met with my group today and we attempted to finish the game off.

We imediatley ran into problems when I tried to put all 3 levels on the same timeline. For example sketchboy became unresponsive and wouldnt move, and when the level was 'completed' and the inter level cutscene began to play, Sketchboy, and all of the game tiles remained on screen, ruining the cutscene.

I messed around trying to fix these issues but got absoutely no where, I just couldnt get the three levels and the cutscenes to work together happily in the same .swf. So I was forced to opt for a backup solution (that unfortunaely, isnt nearly as polished, but at least it works) of exporting the game as a series of seperate .swf's and linking these together via buttons.

On a completely unrelated note, Here is the initial intro clip I wanted to use, unfortunately when imported into the flash the clip lost quite a lot of quality and ended up looking fairly grainy and didnt really fit well with the higher quality visuals I had attempted to use for the rest of the game, So it was reluctantely scrapped.
