Imagine the power of B and &, it could be something truely frightful.
Nice direction certainly, but more purpose is always nice too, very smooth animation as well, but for something so short a bigger filesize might not have hurt.

This gives forth an untold humor, something about the way you did it is just funny, possibly the crappiness of the audio quality. :D
But R should've been for Rupee. >:(

"A worthy cause but I think I have a better way."
As much as this tutorial is good, it won't stop someone from right clicking and going to the last frame with the replay button.
What you want to do is place a movieclip on the very first 2 frames on the top player above ALL other graphics, before the preloader even and inside the movieclip you want to make the firstframe use this actionscript
------------------
LC = new LocalConnection();
if(LC.domain() == "BAD LINK") {
gotoAndStop(2);
_root.gotoAndStop(1)
}
----------------------
And of course, you put on the second frame whatever you want like "Stop theive my work" or maybe some actionscript that redirects the the famous eBaums world dot com animation, or of course, the picture of the ass. Leave the first frame blank, all that does is find if the swf is hosted on eBaums world or not.
You also want to place a second movieclip inside the movieclip on the second frame, that contains two keyframes with this actionscript
_root.gotoAndStop(1)
What'll happen is if the swf is hosted on eBaums world, the movieclip will cover everything else inside the flash permanently and will not allow anyone to view the flash, not even by right clicking.
Still a very worthy cause however your method and simple for those who are beginners with flash.
The only problem with this is, Eric Bauman has been known to decompile flash files before, so effectively he could remove the "ass" actionscript altogether.
Author's Response:
You misread the tutorial. The frame at the end is FOR the picture, so that people won't accidentally see it. The first frame, be it a preloader or whatever, just has the extra actionscript tacked on. When it runs, if the movie is stolen, it will skip to the end: Asspicture. If not, it won't do anything. If someone tries to rewind to the Replay frame and start again, the script will re-execute and dump them back at the end. Read the tutorial over again and you'll see where you misread it. Besides, simply visually blocking the flash would be even easier for Eric to remove; he only needs to delete a symbol through a swf debug program. If the actionscript is sufficiently obfuscated, it would take more time and effort than he would deem nessicary.

Nice loop, I feel like watching this time and time again.
The lip syncing was just funny.

And what do you mean 'funny'? ='(

This is actually a really interesting submission, if you listen closely to the sound track, you'll notice the the left track is everything that you would be able to here if you were only on the left side, and the right side of the stereo track is everything you would only hear on the Touch Tone genius's side, try editing your sound options and disabling your left or right output, you'll only be able to hear one side of this thing! How clever is that? (You can even faintly hear the touch tone genius's voice on the left side!)
I am in love with this. (Oddly enough, I didn't notice this clever little ideal UNTIL I put this on my iPod and watched it that way.)
And besides all that, it is beautifully animated, bravo!

"I love how you plagerised my work."
Well whatever, sure you took my original and plagerised it by doing up the graphics and stuff, but whatever, the animation is near enough the same.
You know what I'm talking about Spitfire, it's like you decompiled my swf and edited it yourself, so much for stealing an hours work of practice animation from me, I even made that for the CCTV collab.
Still, it was okay, the graphics work an improvement from my practice (not on drawing but on animation I was focusing on) but the final comment by Aubergine, not so good. :\

Simple banner design, but I loved it, especially breadfruit's entry, great sound clip.
Zekey's entry too was awesome.

Seriously, there's no denying it, even though I saw this a few days before it's release I knew that this were to have a huge impact.
This my friends is professional level animation, I expect no less from a special effects employee at Disney.
One quiff I have is that it feels like when a story really begins to develop it leaves you on a cliff-hanger, oh well. :)

Pretty good animation, for a short it's pretty damn good, especially like the effect pulled off with the NG logo at the beginning and the joke at Foamy.
Foamy jokes are always good fun.
I feel like converting this to an mp4 and watching it on my iPod now. XD
