----------------------------------- TheFerret Fri Jul 30, 2004 2:11 pm Simple Quick Stick Guy Animation ----------------------------------- Here it is... I made it quickly... If you are wondering, the line in the middle is a knife... ----------------------------------- Mint Fri Jul 30, 2004 9:19 pm ----------------------------------- Keep working at it, and if you want people to think it's a knife draw one, the thing that kills flash animators the most is lazyness. ----------------------------------- TheFerret Fri Jul 30, 2004 9:26 pm ----------------------------------- I know that but this is my first real animation... I was going to do a guy walking but the line kept on flipping between the frames (look before guy jumps) and I couldn't find a way to get it not to flip... ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jul 30, 2004 11:10 pm ----------------------------------- creating another keyframe during the tween and correcting the position of the object should fix that. ----------------------------------- Delta Fri Jul 30, 2004 11:14 pm ----------------------------------- that's very interesting (why it flips) not a bad animation for a first try I suppose... but it does seem like you were a lil lazy... It seems that you used motion tweens for just about everything :S ... try drawing a couple things frame by frame then looping it using symbols... and then motion tween the symbol if you have to... because motion tweens do tend to be screwy sometimes ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Tue Aug 03, 2004 1:18 pm ----------------------------------- i find that motion tweens are pretty good versus shape tweens. then again, i don't actually animate people. -Z ----------------------------------- scottyrush13 Wed Jan 12, 2005 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- shape tweens are quite a bit more glitchy and screwy when compared to motion tweens. i usually dont have any problems with motion tweens, but i get the odd problem with shape tweens
