I wouldn't use different scenes btw ;)
It makes things much more complicated later on....

Oh and I forgot the most important rule and tip I can give you. It's rarely mentioned in any tuts.....

NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!!

No matter what, don't stop working with flash. If you feel to lazy or are not motivated listen to music while learning or working with flash. But get your la´zy ass up and work no matter what ;)

Well first of all you should check out this tutorial collection : http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/fla shtutorials.html

there are pretty damn helpfull ones there. Check out all of them and if you have any questions left just come back here and ask ;).

Well what different kind of FBF animations are there? I'm just curios you know? I want to leanr as much about Flash as I can.

Another question: It would be quite good if I draw each character on his own layer right?

Okay guys i opened a new thread in which I will ask all those questions I will encounter during my work with Flash.

So here comes the first question: If I animate with FBF, do I have to make each character a MC and then animate his movements inside the MC or do I have to do this on the main timeline?

Well, a good story or idea is always good. And make the characters interesting, so that people care what will happen to them or what they do.

Lol plz read the first post again ( not meant offensive ) ;)

It's quite funny that i actually mentioned these 2 points there :)

Thanks for your help so far :)

I already own a tablet ;) it's from WaCom :o

Well was there any important stuff that I missed in my first post?

Well you should check out the tutorial section since there are quite a few good tuts on moving cycles. If you watch them it should be no problem to make your animation with a guy walking, his hands in his pocket.

make a fucking good flash!?

Yeah I started working on my own flash movie after learning with tuts and trying stuff in flash.
But as everybody, I want to make it as best as I can. I don't expect it to be as good as the ones from those experienced animators, but anyway......

So, what in your opinion are the most important things you need to be experienced in to make a good movie.
So far, I've learned (of course :p) animating ( tweening as well as FBF), masking, lyp sync, background drawings, good effects ( `stuff like rain, explosions and blood )......but did I forget anything that's important for a good flash?

Except of course all the obvious stuff like a good story, good drawings, good characters and stuff like this. I'm more talking about all those different techniques that can make your life in flash easier.

Thank you guys for your help :)

Well you could either create this by FBF or by using the Vcam. I would recommend to use the cam. Just google for it or search for it in the forum. The Vcam is really easy to use. Just read the description on the website.

I feel happy for you that it went out like that ;)

But if I'm allowed to give you one small hint......spending 2 days on an animation isn't much. I hope you don't expect to get high quality work after 2 days. Most animators need MONTH to release another one of their series.

But just keep working on it and you will get better and better ;)

Uhm....well first of all I got to say that the text effects are nice, but nothing special. Actually it's hard to say something about your preview since it's rather short. Oh and the text is hard to read. You could easily fix that I guess.

HOLY BANANA!

This looks awesome. I loved your series and just found out about you making this game. So far it looks pretty damn promising. Really terrific.

Oh and thank you spending so much time everyday in finishing this for us.

Go mow some lawns......or sell your body :P

:100 posts btw......yay:

I'd really like to draw the girl fom the grudge or the ring. But since I'm not such an great artist.....would anyone of you guys do it for me? ;)

that's kinda weird...

You, Sir, are an art god :)

I don't know exactly what you are trying to say....but as far as I understood you want to make an image cover the face of your character? I'm not sure but I guess that masking is the answer. Just watch a few tutorials. Btw taking an image from google and putting it on a self-drawn person looks crappy :P

You should either redraw the object or at least make a bitmap.

Wow that's just disgusting :D

Sorry to be a dick, but its true. We don't care. Make us care.

Wow a bit harsh. And arrogant don't you think? It's people like you who badly fail in beeing friendly. You know, I passed. Im happy. And I wanted to share this with you. And then there comes some stupid idiot who thinks he's cool cause he has been here for sooooo long and has over 1000 posts and has such a big amount of exp. Who the hell do you think you are? Chuck Norris? I've the right to post whatever I want and Im not gonna let some dickhead take away that right because he thinks he's so much better than me according to his stupid post count. You know what? i give a shit about you and your account. I mean, how stupid are you? This is a goddmaned forum. Not some kind of hierarchy in which you are placed "higher" than me. And Im NOT supposed to make you care. If you don't care...well you don't. But don't write shit like this making yourself feel cooler.

Ha I finally did it. Remember me? I was the guy whining about my fail at the driver license test a couple of month before. I did it again and what happened? As you might already expect :p, I passed. I actually passed perfectly said the instructor :). Isn't that awesome?

NOOOOOOO Rick is EPIC. He is pure sex. You can't just replace him with someone else :'(

Well if the outbreak occured far far away and TV and stuff tell us to stay lerted and stuff like this, I guess I would drive out to get as much food, water ,weapons and ammunition as I can. Afterwards I would tell my closests friends and of course my family to get into our house, bringing all their important stuff and then we would barriade our house. We would make sure everybody is armed and has plenty of ammuntion to defend himself in a case of emergency. Then we would make a plan on how much everybody is allowed to eat and drink everyday, so we can hold on a couple of weeks. All we can do afterwards is positioning one guard on the roof of our house and wait for anybody to come and help us.

Of course you would never have enough time to do all this. If it would occure right in my city or net to it. I would just grab the good old hunting rifle of my dad, our 9mm, all the ammo we have for both, as well as all food and water. Then I would destroy our stairs ( they are fucking easy to destroy) and just sit on the top of our roof and sniping zombies for fun :)

I didn't notice it until now, either :D

But I don't think it's such a big change that you need to get used to it....

Congratulations..... now go and be a good uncle :)

Hell this really is old. It was funyn back then when I was 6 and heard it first.

Lol... Hannibal the Strangely Proportioned Little Willy

:Not true.....totally.....not:

I fucking love this guy. He is my most favourite actor in the world. Why did he do this?

First time was a couple of days after i turned 16. So I guess 16 it is :p
