Ever since I got flash back in June.
I haven't been able to create!
I'm still oblivious as to how the keyframe stuff REALLY works...
Sure I can operate it and navigate a bit through the interface...But I'm doing so blindly and aimlessly.
I cannot properly animate anything!
Here's a simple scenario. (example! I wouldn't use stick figures)
1.) I open flash, draw a circle, add arms and a body.
2.) I put a keyframe on '30' and while on '30', I position the arms and legs in to a different angle.
3.) I randomly right click on the time-line and insert a tween. (I don't know if it's siginificant as to where you right click and insert the tween)
4.) I press 'play' and I expect to see the arms and legs move into the position I put them in...Instead a blue outline of a square forms around the stick figure and moves the whole drawing to the right...
5.) and sometimes when inserting a tween onto the timeline, it will insert the run-of-the-mill dashed line across it..But leaves the keyframe at the end empty...Thus making me manually insert a tween into that empty frame, to make the dotted line whole...
SUMMARY: I'm having lot's of trouble using basic tweens..
BTW, when would one use 'Frame by frame' instead of Tweening?
And IF I ever do create a simple animation (like an Eye blinking), how would I loop it so It independantly "blinks"...As opposed to copy&pasting the same frames over and over again.
I hope I haven't confused you
