Help on Flash Animations

Postby **Kenchii** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 7:16 pm

Hello. Currently I am taking classes on Macromedia Flash MX. I had the program a while ago, and didn't really use it. But now I am starting up a mini-animation (anime inspired, but with Homemovies,and The Simpsons type of jokes in them). I did all the characters, I already made the scrpit for the story and the scenes I want to put in one episode. But now, the tricky part. MAKING THEM MOVE!!! Can anyone please PLEASE help me on this, step-by-step please! On how to make simple movements, and Motion Tween help too!! Thanks!

If you have Flash there should be a tutorial built into the help menu that guides you through Motion Tweens step by step.

LOL. No! I downloaded it and got the crack pw. :lol:

I had some before, awhile back.

Flash 7, and SWiSH is the best I think. Well, at least for me; a lazy guy. lol, but FlashMX is very pro, and pretty confusing. You really should try to get Flash 7. *I wish I have it*

:sweat:

You create these long scenes by dragging that dotted things at the top, make it action, click the end sequence and modify it. Then play it. It'll move smoothly.

Sorry, the tutorial is better. Really should run through it.

*coughs* Probably shouldn't be announcing it to the world ...

FlashMX is very pro, and pretty confusing.

If you think MX is confusing, you should swim around in 2004 for a while. It's much more programmer oriented.

Anyway, you said you're still confused. I assume you've made your characters with vector and with separate parts (arms, head, neck, hands etc.). Did you convert them all into symbols?

I just finished making a 'space invator' type game. I take back what I have said earily, Flash MX really is not hard at all! Just really looks hard.
