Description WARNING: Large file size!


This is how I animate frame-by-frame ^^
This way everything keeps fluid and neat.

Method used both in [link] and [link]

This is supposed to be a basic tutorial.
It would be soo long if I added all my tips and details :<

I was planning to do the hershey's holder tutorial next but I lost my folding paper ;_;'' OTL

Hope this helps for any flash animation beginners!

Nice. What is the 1/3 method, if you don't mind my asking?

And how do you get sound to show up like that? Last I tried, it was just background and looped. <__<;

RainCookie In reply to Stacatto [2008-04-20 20:49:26 +0000 UTC]

Instead of going for midpoints, you'll have to be visualing 2 points and you go 1/3 the way, not 1/2 :]

There's options where you can stop it from looping :0

I can't find those middpoints in the tools (they're a tool, right?).

Can you help me? If not, thanks anyways :>

btw: This helps a lot, really. It's not like flash tuts, this is simple and clear (for noobs like me lolololz)... and cute :3

RainCookie In reply to SleepySiena [2008-04-20 05:11:15 +0000 UTC]

No :< It's not a tool.

It's just a visual.

O.o I'm afraid I cannot locate the "properties tab".

Any help?

RainCookie In reply to XxMori-teh-PumkinxX [2008-04-10 02:31:29 +0000 UTC]

Your workspace should already have the properties tab out on the open at start. Try reseting your workspace and it should be there :]
I know there's hotkey for it but I'm not exactly sure what that is :<

XxMori-teh-PumkinxX In reply to RainCookie [2008-04-10 12:45:30 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm...still not there.

Maybe it's due to variations of flash? Mine is macromedia flash 8.

RainCookie In reply to XxMori-teh-PumkinxX [2008-04-10 21:21:42 +0000 UTC]

I've only used two versions of flash (Flash MX 2004 and Flash 8; currently using Flash 8) and they both had it :< Try ctrl + F3

BubblyMnMs [2008-04-09 23:58:51 +0000 UTC]

So you have to draw all of it? What about motion tween? Although i never really could figure out how to get it to work for me....

Do you think you could help me out with lipsyncing too? ^^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RainCookie In reply to BubblyMnMs [2008-04-10 02:33:09 +0000 UTC]

Motion tween isn't that good for fbf because if you look at my most recent animation (anystar), you can see how some movements are really choppy :< It's cause I didn't use fbf u.u;; It depends tho on when and how you utilize it--it could actually be good at some point.

I haven't tried flash lipsyncing for over an year now so I'm probably not the best person you can go to for help ^^ ;; try looking online :]

FallingXDreams In reply to ??? [2008-04-08 22:58:28 +0000 UTC]

I've always thought you had to draw a whole load of the movements like flip books >.>
Very good tutorial though.
I don't have flash, but the mac lab in my school does.
Maybe I'll use this tutorial if I go in there again.
I looked through a book about the program though. It looks really hard =O

Keep it up,

Where do you buy flash? NO! I'M JUST KIDDING!
Actually, this is pretty helpful. Last quarter of my senior year and I get to work with Flash CS3!!! But I won't get to keep it! This sucks. But I do wanna try it out and get a feel for it while I can, so I'll definitely be using this as a ref every now and again!
