This is a really good tutorial
- we do flash animations in the school at the time -and i want to prepare something - because we'll get a mark before x-mas
do u know free flash makers? I always find just flash programs where u can just pan and zoom-not more
Hey and also another question for my schoolwork i want to make a person/Chibi who cuts fruits(it makes fruitsalat ) - can u give a good suggestion how i can do that - the knife should move up and down and cut at first a banana

Will it work for older versions of Flash though, say.. Macromedia Flash 4 ?
I noticed the selection tool is not there , only Rectangle and Oval .. Though I did get it that when you said Document, it meant Movie in old version.
I got stuck when I tried to draw the panda's head ^^ because there was not a Selection tool there , there was a Select All though haha..
But I still fave this because it is easy and friendly and the demonstrations are good.

It is amazing tutorial!
But, do you have or know any tutorial which explains the frames and this frametime? I mean those symbols on this bar? I mean, or I'm so stupid that I still odn't understand or I dunno.
I have the while illustrations to get moving, drawn in Photoshop, so I don't need any onion tool or such... I just have no idea how to make it move. TT_TT

This tutorial was SUPER awesome and amazing and totally helped me! I had to use flash in my cyber arts class and the problem was my TEACHER didn't even know how to use flash that well!
I ended up getting the highest mark he has EVER given out (it was our final project!) I got 198/200 :] Here is part of the project if you want to check it out [link]
Thanks so much for making this!
