Description A Flash Animation Tutorial for people who have never used Macromedia Flash before and totally drown in the technicalities
of all those tutorials online.

I hope it will be useful... I'm often a bit chaotic when it comes to explaining things ^_^;

Good thing this tutorial has about 100 screenshots o_o

Send me a note if you don't get it...

This is SO helpful! I'm really glad I found this ^ ^ I've been wanting to make animations for ages. I just realised that's what flash is for (I am quite thick sometimes y'know) and that i already had it on my computer. However, I hadn't the first clue how to use it until I saw this. Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you so much on making this tutorial. I have been searching for a good flash tutorial since i got the program a few months ago but instead i have found a great one. Thanks so much. The tips are awesome as well, especially about the stick figure animations. I dont care for much of those. This also really drilled in my mind not to rush my animations. Once agin thanks a lot.

I really didn't understand flash in the least when I first got it, and then I found this... And it's really REALLY helped me x3

I'm excited to get to work on my first animation!

Once again, thank you so much. You rock! <333

this tutorial is very awesome and helpful!

but there is one thing I couldn't find.. how can you make a frame that stands still until you click the button? I followed your tutorial, but when I test the movie, it just showes up the frame with the button and then it goes on playing the flash.. could you help me please?

Fuzzysheepy In reply to ??? [2009-10-30 04:38:37 +0000 UTC]

Would you happen to know how to merge layers?
For some reason I can't figure out that.

I'm not animating anything, only making a dress up game xD

Morelwen In reply to Fuzzysheepy [2009-11-06 07:00:25 +0000 UTC]

I'd say copy paste the contents onto the layer you want them on. If it's symbols you should be fine.

Sorry for spamming xP

I just wanted to tell you I read the section with the pressure thing but it doesn't look like this in CS3. Maybe you know how to do this? If not, it doesn't matter. ^^

WhiteKey In reply to ??? [2009-09-13 15:03:47 +0000 UTC]

Oh sorry, it DOES work. Just had wrong settings and that stuff. And a german version xP
Thank you for this tutorial, it really explains everything I need for a simple flash animation!
I just have one question: I also have a pen tablet. What can I do that flash makes my line thinner and thicker? The pressure works in Photoshop, but not in Flash...

WhiteKey In reply to ??? [2009-09-13 14:53:16 +0000 UTC]

Sadly doesn't work in Flash CS3 >____<
But it's very good for users with the right version.
