Hey that looks brilliant!
Well I hope something in this tutorial has proved helpful, anyway. I hope you have heaps of fun with future animating... from the looks of what you've done so far I'm sure you'll have no problem with it.

Oh wow! The onion skin! I never knew about that!
I've done some frame to frame animations and it was a pain to redraw something like that XD Thanks for the tip!

I _LOVE_ the onion skin feature. The first time I found out about it I smiled for about a week, I think.
I'm really glad you've found it helpful, too. Happy animating, Ilovetodraw!

Sorry that it took so long for me to get back to your comment, TiGg-er.
I haven't had any experience in creating websites with flash, sorry. I use simple forward and back navigational buttons for my animations.. but thats the gist of it.
There should be some tutorials on DA to help you out... else you could try checking out [link] . They should have some good tutorials.
Sorry I can't be more help.

arosyks In reply to creatureart [2007-09-06 20:41:04 +0000 UTC]
it is fun and time consuming. haha
i have trouble with multiple layers, though. it seems as if i try to erase on the top layer, it erases on all the layers. i dunno, i need to figure that now so i can have still bgs >.>

creatureart In reply to arosyks [2007-09-07 20:02:39 +0000 UTC]
Definitely time consuming. At 12 frames per second its 720 frames for a minute's worth of animation. Oh well. Good things take time I guess.
Oh, I run into that too. Its incredibly frustrating.
The way I get around it is to make the backgrounds and foregrounds into seperate symbols and work on them in place in the timeline.
Have you worked with symbols before? I can give you a quick rundown -- it may help.

arosyks In reply to creatureart [2007-09-07 21:19:19 +0000 UTC]
i did a bit of work with symbols, plus i have a tutorial in case i need help. but if you want to explain briefly about using symbols on different layers, since i haven't done really anything using separate layers...
thanks for the help : >
