Wandering around the Other Side and noticed a couple things.

-No music on How To Have Fun on a Lovely Afternoon.
-'Game over' over the top of the Night of the Zombie Kitties Game as I was playing. Zombie Mittens hadn't got me at that point in the game, really.

I didn't even know there was meant to be music on How to Have Fun on a Lovely Afternoon...

There's a credit line on the final page (where Mata is sitting) crediting the music. However I don't hear any music.

There was also a shop link that appeared with the replay of the bouncing luck cow game. Mata had it covered though. When I clicked it I was transfered to a page explaining that it was now gone and instead to enjoy the animations.

Thanks, I think you've spotted what I hope was the last remaining shop link on my site. I'd got the 'you won' shop button covered, but my coding was very sloppy in those days and I had a different page for 'you lost' which I didn't spot when going through my site.

I've got the music linked up properly at last on the body bag stunt now too, thanks for pointing that out!

The Arm Wrestling Freud thing isn't working for me, is it just me or is it the site?

I still can't hear any music on a lovely afternoon.
I did try clearing old files but it didn't seem to help at all.

The lovely afternoon music definitely works on my machine so it should work on yours. If you're using IE it can be very stubborn about getting rid of cached files, even when you tell it to.

Yes, Freud does appear to be up the spout. I'll try and fix that later...

Okay, I've uploaded a new version of the arm wrestling Freud game. For some reason publishing it for Flash Player 7, even with the old actionscript settings, stopped it working. When I publish it for Flash Player 5 it works fine, with no changes made to any of the code.

How odd!

Thanks for spotting this one. As usual, if you find anything else please let me know!

There's also a shop link at the end of the Humble Dog animation...

Now that you've fixed the Freudian Arm Wrestling, can you make a harder one? I beat the hardest! Yay! Thanks for fixin it tho.

Okey doke, the easter animation is fixed now too. Thanks! The weird thing is, I remember changing that one...

And no, I'm not going to wrestle with my old coding again, so you'll just have to settle with knowing that you can beat Freud

I'm having that problem with the Zombie Kittens game as well.

I've had a fiddle with it, see if that's any better.

Yup, it works properly now. Thanks Mata!

*spends next 3 hours obsessively playing game just to check it really works*

the web art isnt working.

I think there is a shop link that appears for a split second at the bottom left corner at the end of the Counsellor's Encounter animation. Is there, or am I just being silly?

I'm having problems with Mr. Freud again. Everything looks okay, it's just when I click the buttons it doesn't do anything to Freud.

I was playing Night of the Zombie Kitties Game and I got a high score (yay!) but it said that there was an error adding the score

The bouncing cow luck test game isn't playing the music for some reason. I wanted to show it to my friends ;_;
I clicked on the play button and everything

Sweet angry jeezus, i'm slow.
My volume was turned down the whole time.
Oh, my...i feel...wow.

It says that every time for me... I assumed I just hadn't really got a high score.

Thanks. There's a new version of the file online that should work, but I suspect it'll take ages for your browser to forget the old version, even if you do clear your browser cache (for some reason that doesn't seem to clear Flash movies that are loaded by other Flash movies).

Is anyone else having trouble with Freud? He works fine for me...

I've fixed the Counsellor's Encounter end-page, so there is no flash of the shop links. Looks like I missed those the first time through! Thanks again!

Hey mata,

This is due to the server, not the browser. Some servers will only refresh a few file types in their own little proxy/cache setup, and swf files arent one of them. The answer is to subtly change the name of the file you are requesting every time you call for it, thus the cache on the server thinks the URL is not a repeat, and so supplies the real file.

Example:

we want to load the file bla.swf , be it into flash or into an html doc ...

instead of calling "bla.swf" we call for "bla.swf?smartass=(insert random number here)" where the random number is generated by code, and is going to be unlikely to repeat itself.

In Flash, it'll look like this:

LoadMovie "bla.swf?smartass=" + Math.round(Math.random() * 99999)

... where the file name is put in as an expression. Mkay?

Ah yes, I remember reading something about that ages ago. Good tip. I may even get around to putting it in the coding someday!
