I need to get to work, but i actually didn't think i would be animating until saturday, but my VAs (most of them) came through, so I'm good.

Oh, is anyone else doing time traveling cannibalistic singing slugs?

Melolno.
But that was good, how long have you been working on that?

I give it a 5 Bomb..BOOM!

Fight through the boring parts of animating. Once you do this it will be easy to animate.

Thankyou, but that was not what I was asking. :P

IM DRY, HELP ALREADY.

Gross dude, but amazing graphic wise.

I feel my mind is blank at times when I am animating.
Willing to spare some of your creativity?
(In other words, give me things to animate about, or talk amongst yourselves towards ideas)

I havent animated in over 2 weeks. Do animators get rusty? Because I have been getting worse at animating each time I take a break.

I said whatever and did it, and heere is what I have so far: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/5d18a40104fe53d7123b471a 010ff1de
Any suggestions?
Comments?

Can someone tell me how to get the animator status in newgrounds?
I dont want to be a blank status, then no one would know what I am about.

Do you consider it a time saver or just a lazy hack?

Personally, I don't know anyone who does use it. I am sure there are some people who have mastered using the tool to their advantage.

I just can't find any use for it.

I use the bone tool for trees :P

The dump is not working again...

WEll, I need a Voice actor for Galileo in my animation. I cant really record my voice because my parents think Im wierd for using those voices.

PM me If your intrested in helping me.
Thanks, RubberSocks

Thats probably the best answer here

So I'm onto the coloring stage of my animation and I'm having to go frame by frame refilling and coloring for every new frame and this is driving me nuts. There HAS to be a way to like make another layer on top and fill in color for a given number of frames right??? This is really getting tedious

I havent heard of a way to do that in Flash but

No, not at all, no, not unless the frames were inconstant but if they were you'd be better off just replacing them.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/413118 I think, looking at the Link one especially, this will be very relevant to you, as you've got frames that are so out of line with the rest sometimes. It's all in the meticulous planning, really.

Good suggestion Otto, that vid will help him alot. Finally someone who has answered his question. His soul may now rest in peace.

I was just checking out the Calendar. . . it is a great feature, but I personally find it hard to focus on & read. My opinion:
-Increase the size of the day #, it just seems too small for a calendar
-Darken days with no events, that would possibly , and maybe gray-out boxes from the previous/next month

Just an idea :3

That is a good idea, but a way of making the #'s bigger is to add them to the backgrounds. That would simplify things, and add more space fro the event

I appreciate the continued feedback, I've only been using Flash for about 10 days now and I'm having a blast with it. Thanks again!

Cool, I have been with Flash for 30 days, but being the scholar that I am, I don't have time to do much practice. I learned alot the past month, but not as much as I would have wanted.

Batman says yes

Also does anyone know why it keeps showing part of the animation that wasn't on the stage? It's pretty annoying.

And for anyone confused, it's someone trying to think of something to say, but ultimately finding himself speechless.

Any criticism is appreciated.

I know it is tedious, but try to draw more frames in between the movement and configuration.
