Description
ok here it is...ITS HUGE...sorry about that...and heres the link to the flash version: [link]anyways this tutorial is for people who understand how to use flash. It does not go into detail about how to use any of the tools just explains how i go about making my backgrounds...some of it may be confusing and i appologize for my lack of teaching skillz....if you find anything terribly confusing go ahead and send me a note....if you find spelling errors....haha..i cant spell for beans so sorry for that too.
spent way too much time on this...and had to do it twice since flash crashed on me 4 hours in and i didnt save...ahahah ...im a bad person..
anyways i hope this helps or adds some joy to your life ...or something
by the way..i tried to add a preview image and it wouldnt let me...lame
have fun and enjoy

Actually, I do have a question, if you don't mind. How do you get an animation to play inside the DA window (like, without having to press the download button?)
Thank you!

sure thing...you just upload the .swf file...(you can get those by publishing your flash file or by pressing ctrl+enter (apple+enter on a mac) and that will spit out a .swf with the same name as the .fla....then you gotta make a preview image that will show up as the thumb...so a 100x100 .png .jpg or .gif should work..... so when you go to submit a deviation upload the .swf...then it will ask for a preview image...so then upload the .png/.jpg/.gif

i combined flash and purrtied it in ps. . .for extremly cheesy results. . .

haha well its there for whoever XD...and i think your backgrounds will turn out nice! you make purty things in photoshop....the reason i didnt go down that road was cause i didnt want the char to look out of placeish i guess..iono...
