so basically i still need to draw the movements frame by frame...no easy way eh?

---

anyways yes i'd for now like to know how to make one section of a thing move. Like if i drew a mouse with a tail, how do i do it so only the tail moves using tweening. making the entire object move is as far as i got.

---

u misunderstood lol. i want a tutorial, not to make one.

---

ahh that makes sense, but i'd like a tutorial anyway just to get myself pointed in the correct direction.

---

like you know, ummm. basically i know how to tween and stuff. but what I am looking for is if you have a figure, say like a dog or something that you drew. Like how to make it walk and pant and stuff. I'm guessing you may have to take the same picture make many frames of it and erase and modify every one. However, there might be something that may make this easier and I wouldn't know. So basically making an animation, short movie, or whatever. Or how to make a how to draw something. Something like that.

---

I can understand that this question is and has probably popped up once before, however i searched everywhere and even 4 pages into this section and also in the search bar. I'd like to have more detailed tutorial on making animations using flash. Besides the whole having to draw the exact same thing for each frame and such. I can see the basics such as tweening motions and all that, but basically a step by step real animation kind of deal. I have an idea, yet at the same time I got nothing. Where can I find such tutorials. Note that I checked the flash tutorials already and I wonder if people spend hours just making those flash tutorials or something. Please help.

"Forgive me for posing Saiyaman's stupid ways." I said, Gohan blushed. "Well, being a girl helps me keep my chicken secret. haha Just kidding, the real dude vamooshed from the tournament. We switched clothes, he wasn't even really muscular at all."

"Why'd you want to enter then." Asked Piccolo, he looked suspicious.

"Well for one thing, I thought I could use the zenny to fund my stay here. Then I felt an urge to fight like heck." I shrugged, "I don't fight at all, this was my first time."

"You mean to tell me you have no fighting experience what so ever?!" Demanded Vegeta.

"Uh...huh.." I nodded

"How in the world did you beat everyone?! It must be pure luck!!! I refuse to believe that such an inexperienced girl defeated me without ever fighting a battle!!!"

"It was luck, and basically my own body reacting to the fight. Everything was either instinct or based on something I have seen before. Every fight I was learning something new. Anyway, I am from America and I am a Vietnamese girl named Michelle Nguyen. Nice to meet you all."

"How is it possible for you to learn how to fight in a short amount of time?" said Piccolo, "that is nearly impossible."

"Hey, I ain't the one who put this upon myself, I just did the fight."

"So that's why you don't know your way around here. You are an Amerian." Said Bulma.

"Yeah, but you are pretty famous there. Capsule Corp is the best place to spend the time here."

"So you manipulated me to get a place to STAY?!" Vegeta was furious. "I don't care if I promised you could stay here, I refuse to allow such a deceptive girl reside in this household!!!"

I glared at him, "It's not just that." I stood up and bowed at him. "I came here to also receive your training!"

With that Vegeta was left speechless. I continued, "I know I am strong, and personally I don't know how strong. I wish to control my power and I think you can really help me with that. You are an incredible fighter, and I am willing to go through any program you wish. I just need to master my own power."

Vegeta Grinned and Trunks said, "Umm....I don't think you would want that..."

Vegeta interrupted."Nonsense, if she wants my training then let her. If I train you, you have to keep up. If you don't then you must leave here."

"Ok! But let's start tomorrow ok?" Vegeta walked off as I said that. "Hey I need someone here to help me fly and control my energy?"

"I guess I can help," Said Gohan. "Hey Trunks, Goten, help me out ok?"

"I'm coming too." Said Piccolo.

We arrived in a nearby valley and Gohan showed me how to fly, in no time I was zipping through the air. "Ok now for energy attackes." said Piccolo.

"Do you know any?" Asked Gohan.

"One, but I really don't know how to control it and make it stop." I said.

"You just need to push it back in your body and relax. Let's see it." Said Gohan.

"Ok then...KAAAAA......"

Gohan's eyes widened. "What?"

"MEEEEEEEEEEHHHHH"

Piccolo was surprised, "It can't be!!!!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAA......"

"Incredible." Said Trunks.

"MEEEEEEEEEHHHHH....."

"Her power level is skyrocketing!!!" Said Goten

"HAAAAA!!!!!!!!" A tremendous amount of energy was unleashed from my body. I was as surprised as the others were when it came out. The others tried to block my energy, but I could feel that they were having a hard time doing it. I tried to separate my hands but it split the beam so I stopped.

"Darn it!!! She's too strong!!! She wasn't kidding!!!" Said Piccolo.

"Grrr..We gotta go Super Saiyan!!!" Said Goten.

"No!!! WE can't in front of her!." Said Gohan.

"Forget this, if we don't then we'll be blown to smithereens! She's bound to find out anyway." Trunks went super and the others followed him. Still then even at their maximum, I was still overpowering them.

"Hey!!! How do you stop this thing?!" I screamed.

"Just relax and push it back inside!!!!" Replied Gohan.

I began to relax and then visualize the energy coming back inside me. That moment, they cancelled out the beam, All of them looked like they were beat.

"Ha...hah....haa...that was...incredible." Said Goten.

They were all out of breath. "You weren't kidding with the power...." said Trunks.

"I told you I don't know my limits yet."

"You mean there's more?" Said Piccolo.

"Yeah....I think"

"I don't think we should do more energy beams...like that. Let's practice control."

For the rest of the day we trained on control, I was also scared of my strength...I really needed Vegeta's training

Everyone was beat and we didn't notice how late it got until midnight.

"Thanks guys, I think I can somewhat control my energy release." I said.

"No problem, Goten and I got to go now. Bye." The two brothers flew off.

"I would like to know what you truely are, no human has that much strength." Said Piccolo grimly.

"What about Uub? He's pretty strong too." said Trunks.

"Well he is an exception..."Said Piccolo.

"I am human." I said. At least I was"What about you? Are you human?" I knew full well what he was, but knowing too much is not cool.

"No...I am a Namek. Alien." He turned and flew away.

"I figured so." I said.

"But really, are you sure you're human, cus I never saw anyone as strong as you." Said Trunks

"Says the guy who goes blond. Why don't you tell me whether I am human or not. I should be the one doubting you."

He blushed, "Well, I guess there is no hiding it. I am a half saiya-jin."

"Another alien, I thought so."

"Yeah, I was born here, but my dad's the full blood besides Goku."

"Cool, let's go now." We flew back to the Corp.

---

"Aw, oh its you. Pretty good fight out there huh. It was sorta nice of you to give Mr. Satan a chance at retirement." He said.

"Well, if he kept on going, he'll hurt himself more than anyone can hurt him." I replied.

"So where did you learn how to fight?" The others walked in as well.

"hey! It's the chicken man." Said Pan. "Haha, you fight great!!!"

"Why thank you Pan. You're not so bad yourself." I smiled and she giggled.

"So, where'd you learn to fight so well." Said Trunks.

"Well...Just now." Everyone fell.

"Wh-at do you mean by just now?" Asked Chichi. "And how did you learn my fighting technique."

"Well I saw it happen on this really old video. I thought it would be really effective against Trunks so I used your's Mrs. Chichi."

"How'd you know my name?!" She glared at me.

"Well...if I saw you in the old World's Martial Arts Tournament video, then I should know who you are. Also, how you married Mr. Goku." She blushed and didn't say anything after that.

"Well, I think you're pretty good, you beat my husband, and that's not easy to do." Said Bulma.

"Yeah I know, he's a really good fighter, if I hadn't thought of using his own force against him, I would have lost. If only he hadn't gotten so angry--"

"OK! Let's just go now!!! I am getting hungry." Vegeta interrupted and began walking out.

"Cool! Let me go get my stuff."

"Who said you were coming along!!!???" Demanded Vegeta.

"You did, remember." Everyone stared at Vegeta.

"I said know such thing!"

"Well you and I had a bet that if I could beat you, you would be providing me with room and board. Even though I got the prize money, I don't know my way around here so trying to get a place to crash isn't so easy ya know! Remember it was part of the deal!!!"

"You said WHAT!!!???" Screamed Bulla. "I will not have a man in a Chicken costume live with us. Dad!!!! He's weird!!!"

"Vegeta!!! What if this guy is you know...." Bulma looked worried.

I understood completely what was going on. Vegeta just shrugged, "Well we can't help it now. I did give him my word."

"Don't worry, I won't be a bother." I laughed, and I heard something roar loudly and my belly started to feel heavy.

"What in the world was that?!" Said Gohan.

"I think that was my stomach..." I said. "Wow, I must be really hungry because I never heard it sound that loud haha..."

"Well, lets just all go to my place and eat ok!" Said Bulma.

We arrived at the Capsule Corp. and had lots to eat. I chowed down like never before. I ate almost as much as Vegeta did, and everyone looked at me in surprise.

"What?" I said with my mouth full.

"Wow you sure eat a lot." Said Yamcha.

"Thanks dude." I said and then I finished eating.

"I never saw anyone other than a saiya-jin eat like that." Said Krillin.

"HUSH!!" Said Videl. "Well now sir, why don't you tell us about yourself."

"Well for one thing I don't have a change of clothes so do you mind if I borrow some. I just got here so..."

Trunks got up. "don't worry he can borrow some of mine."

"Um...I was hoping I could borrow some of Mrs. Bulma's clothes." THen everyone looked at me as if I were crazy.

"Why in the world would you...never mind, I am asking a man in a chicken costume." She got a T-shirt and some jeans that fit me. I went into the changing room and didn't bother to tell them I was a girl.

"All well, they'll figure out eventually..." I said and I got dressed. I carefully hid my tail and came out. It was then did everyone looked as if they were about to die in shock.

"YOU'RE A GIRL!!!!!???" Everyone yelled.

"Yeah, sorry for not mentioning it." Everyone fell again. "You guys were too busy talking that I couldn't really tell you all."

"Aw man you mean to say that a girl beat us?!" said Trunks and Goten. Vegeta didn't bother to say anything but he blushed with embarrassment.

"How old are you?" Asked Bulma in surprise.

"Seventeen in April." I replied.

"Dang! She's your age Goten." Said Trunks.

"And she beat us?!" Goten hit his forehead.

"Who said girls can't beat guys." said Eighteen casually.

"Yeah! I bet Eighteen could whoop all your butts to Taiwan!!" I said.

"How would you know that?" said Eighteen.

"Well you did almost win the last tournament..." I said.

"So now that you are all dressed, tell us about yourself." Said Videl.

"Alright, I will tell you guys." My eye twinkled. "I am the Great Chickenman!!!" I went into a chicken pose and everyone fell over. Piccolo glared at me.

"Stop kidding around, YOU AREN'T EVEN A MAN!!!" Said Gohan.

---

"oh...man...." I was incredibly nervous, Vegeta was super strong and I knew I couldn't stand a chance against him, but there are always a chance. I didn't know the limits to my power. This was my chance to get a place to crash.

"I don't know who you are, but if you think you can beat me..."said Vegeta.

"I don't think I can beat you Vegeta, but I am willing to try."

"Really? Then let's see what you got." He got ready to attack.

"HOLD on!" I said. "Let's make it a little interesting."

"Huh?"

"I need a place to crash. If I beat you, you gotta let me have room and board at your place. Don't think I don't know your wife is the President of Capsule Corp. You guys got to have a big house so I think you can make room for me."

Vegeta smirked. "Yeah, and what do I get if I beat you?"

"Well, I'll tell you how I beat the others. Plus some bonus information about how to regrow limbs."

"What regrow limbs."

"Well, I know how you can replace lost parts of the bodies from fingers to other things, it may be useful." I winked.

"Hmm." Vegeta thought about it. "Deal, if you beat me that is."

"Alright!!!" I was excited...

I didn't know what I would do against Vegeta, power wise I didn't even know how I would stand against him. I knew I can't beat him with my skill because frankly I only fought once in my entire life before this day. I didn't know what was going on, but I just felt the urge to fight him head on. It was so unlike me because I never really wanted to pick a fight with anyone ever...
I took the offense and tried to kick his gut. Vegeta dodged me and grabbed my leg and slammed me to the floor. I pushed up and landed a kick in his jaw. We began to fight so quickly that it was hard for the spectators to see us at all. I surpised myself even further as I kept up with Vegeta's attacks. I knew that I was far too inexperienced to take him on, so I focused on thinking of a tactic that I never saw the Dragonball Z fighters used. Something much like what I used against Trunks. I thought of it and began to feign that I was at a disadvantage. I was at the edge of the ring and I pushed back Vegeta.

"HAAH!!!" I sent him a few feet back. I was breathing very hard and was really exhausted after the fight lasting an hour.

"What? Tired already?" Though he was also a bit fatigued, like he always was, Vegeta made it look like he was not at all tired. I knew better.

"No, not yet. I can't believe how weak you are."

"What?!" Vegeta gritted his teeth.

I knew that the only way I could outsmart him is to get him angry. "Your punches are more like a baby hitting me. What are you, born yesterday?"

"How dare you!!!" He was getting really angry.

"Whatever, I guess old people do get really weak no matter how strong they look. What are you 100?" I laughed.

That was all Vegeta could take, he charged at me and tried to hit me out of the ring, but i turned my head in the knick of time and grabbed his arms. I flipped him over and he was out. This move was never done in the series so I knew he wouldn't see it coming.

He felll out of the ring and he rubbed his head, "What this is impossible, how could that chicken toss me out like that?!"

I knelt down and smiled, "You lost your cool."

He looked up, "What?"

"You got a sore spot for people challenging your strength, you got angry and lost control of the battle. Not to mention I used something that you didn't expect to come. If it weren't for the ring, you would probably beat me in a fight, because I have no idea what I am doing."

He scoffed and looked away, "You weren't too bad a fighter, you just got lucky."

You have no idea....I laughed, "I know how strong you are Vegeta, you didn't even use a fourth of your strength. You could've beaten me if you hadn't been overconfident."

He just stood up and walked away. Next up was Mr. Satan himself, Buu lost to Vegeta in the other fight.

Hercule looked really afraid. Oh no! this guy...this guy is gonna kill me...Oh What am I going to do?

I really did not want to hurt him because after all, things won't be good for everyone if I did, so I devised a plan. I quickly charged at him and then whispered in his ear. "Just play along and you won't get hurt, i'll have to beat you but think of it this way you'll never have to worry about it. Don't worry, I won't make you look bad, you'll still be a hero." He was sweating but he nodded. This was too quick for anyone to see, to them he was just bobbing his head.

I made my attack and he softly touched his face, he instantly shouted in pain. I then hit him multiple times and then he cracked his back and screamed with agony. "Oh my hip my hip!!!! Ow!!!" Then I pushed him out of the ring. Everyone was in shock as I showed that I beat their hero. They looked really sad, and the announcer said I won. Hercule looked down in misery... At least she didn't hurt me....

"Well now chicken man, what have you to say now that you're world champ." asked the announcer.

I took the microphone and then said, "I don't accept this belt as world champion!" Everyone in the audience gasped. "You should all be ashamed of yourselves! You had the World's biggest hero fight in this tournament even though he is clearly getting too old for it!"

"Uh, but sir, he said he was fine--"

"It doesn't matter what he says!!!! In his mind he really didn't want to let everyone down even though he knew his strength wasn't as good as it use to be. He cared about everyone so much that he risked his own life to fight for you all. Don't you all know what would happen if I was a bit stronger and less considerate about him? He could die fighting in this tournament, his bones are not as sturdy and neither is he. You all gotta face the facts that even a hero needs to retire!!! Hasn't he helped the world from being brought to destruction?! What have you all done for him? He saved your lives and all you do is cheer for him to fight! He can't protect you forever!!! There will be a time when he'll be the vulnerable one and he will need your help someday!!! I say this belt should go to Mr. Satan, for trying to help everyone even in his old age!!!!" Everyone cheered as I gave him the belt and I smiled.

"T-Thank you." Said Hercule.

"Don't mention it, I told you that you would remain a hero." Then I walked off. Then Buu stood in front of me.

"Why you make Mr. Satan lose?!" He looked pretty upset.

"Oh Buu, don't you understand that if Mr. Satan tried to fight again he may sprain more than his hip? I mean he is human, and you can't really always be there to protect him if he continues fighting like this. He needs to retire and take it easy."

"Oh....ohhh." Buu smiled. "You nice lady."

I then was surprised. " AAAH- hahaha!!! No no, I am chicken man!!!"

"huh?"

"Shh...don't let anyone know, I don't want to make Mr. Satan feel any worse than he does in front of all these people."

"Oh ok."

"Thanks Majin Buu." Then I walked into the stadium room, I bumped into Goten.

Hi, I am new and I am also a writer, I made this really good story that would look great in flash. However, I really do not go strongly in making flash. If anyone is willing to create a flash of it for me I would be really thankful. I think my story is pretty good, because some people have read it already and gave it the thumbs up. The thing is based on Dragonball Z and someone in a our real world happened to come to DBZ due to some reason ...

What if something happened in the space-time continuum that caused a rip between the worlds of dbz and ours. I happen to be walking along when lightning came out of nowhere and hit me. In my backpack i was carrying a laptop, and Dvd's of db/z. I awaken in a place where everything was 2D. I was near a lake and saw that I was in the world of Dragonball Z. I realize I was close to the tournament and found myself to have a tail...

"OMG!!!!! What the heck happened!!!??? Man oh man." I was freaked out at first, but then I realized my situation and my fear became excitement. "Haha!!! Wow!!! I became a saiya-jin!!!! Ooo. Muscles...I wonder how strong I am..." I flicked a boulder and it went to bits. She looks overhead and sees Goku flying with Uub. Then a lightbulb went over her head. I then thought of the regeneration ability that I saw nameks do, but I wanted to heal so I pulled out my tail and began to place my hand over my bottom. I began to concentrate and then my hand glowed and my tail regrew instantly. I smiled and said"I need to get to the tournament, if I want a place to crash I might as well make somehting of it with my new powers." She ran to the tournament and bumped into chickenman.

"Bakaw!!! Watch where you're going." He said.

"Hey, your not fighting anymore right?" I asked.

"No, I don't wanna mess with those guys."

"Hey do you think we can switch places?"

"Huh?"

"I really wanna fight please."

"Sure do whatever you want" He gave me the costume and ran off.

I put on the chicken costume and then added extra bandages to fill in for the chest area and hid my new tail. She went into the arena and was up against Goten.

"Ha, this is going to be totally easy!" he said.

"Please, don't judge a book by its cover." She said in a gruff voice. The fight commenced and she was able to see Goten coming at her. She saw everything as if they were in slow motion. The excitement was thrilling, so this is how the Z fighters saw their opponents attacks...wow, this is so strange...I always take a hit but never managed to dodge anything

They paused for a moment. "Hey you're pretty good for a guy in a chicken suit, I'd thought you'd chicken out."

"Not today little man!" I jumped at him and tried to do a super speed and was barely successful. I appeared from behind Goten and threw him as hard as I could out of the ring. He was not so easily tricked, he sent a shockwave to recoil back to the ring.

"Hmph." He smiled and attacked once more. He charged after me and I made myself looked as if he got me by surprise. I did something that I never thought I could do and did an instant dodge, as he was caught by surprise. I instinctively appeared over his head and did a slam on him that made him fall out of the ring.

"Wow.." I stood their in amazement. "I didn't know I can do that." It was as if my body already knew how to fight, it was amazing.

Vegeta sat as he analyzed what was going on. "Hmph...he doesn't even know what he's doing, he has power, but he lacks skill."

The Ref announced me as the winner and I laughed. Next up was Pan. "Hey little girl, where did you learn your martial arts from?"

"From my grandpa!" She replied happily.

"Wow, he must be pretty strong huh?"

"Yep."

"Let's have a good fight ok?" Pan nodded and they began their dual. Pan unleashed a flurry of punches and I amazingly dodged them all. She landed a hit on me and as a reflex I hit her to the wall outside of the ring. They named me the winner.

"Owie..." Pan began to have tears but I came up to her and said..

"Sorry!! I didn't mean to hurt you!!! It was by accident, my body reacted on its own." Then I smiled. "You're pretty good though for a young girl your age. You'll be better than me in no time if you train."

"sniff." Pan smiled. "Yeah!"

"What's up with that guy? He just beat Pan and Goten like they were nothing!" Said Gohan.

"Something fishy is going on..." Said Goten. " It wasn't fair!"

"That's what you get for not training you slacker." Said Vegeta. "Heh. That fighter has no skill at all, look at him. For every hit he lands he looks surprised. Not only that he has that look of someone who just had their first fight."

They just stared at him and nodded.

"NEXT UP IS TRUNKS AGAINST CHICKEN MAN!!!" Said the announcer.

"Hey dude, I am not going to lose like all the others, they underestimated you. I won't make that mistake, you better watch out." Said Trunks.

I nodded and then went into a pose. I wanna try Chichi's snake technique. I dug up whatever I remembered about Chichi's fighting technique and went into the pose.

"Hey! He's using my technique!" Cried Chichi.

"What is he?" said Videl.

I started with the offensive and sent whiplashes of hits onto Trunks. Trunks blocked them and hit me in the face. I regained my balance and swung a kick at him that sent him flying a few feet. He kicked the ground and we fought really hard. I switched tactics and then we were landing equal hits and didn't budge an inch.

"Hey that looks like when Trunks and Goten fought years ago." Said Videl. "I can never forget that."

I didn't know how to raise my power level and I thought better about trying to blast energy at him. So, I allowed myself to go into a choke hold.

"Haha, got you now." Said Trunks

"Oh, that is exactly what Trunks did to me, I don't think that guy has a chance now!!!" Said Goten.

I smiled and did a flip in midair, "Let's just go with the flow." I was behind him and then I swung his body around and around and threw him out of the ring.

Everyone was extraordinarily surprised. Yamcha said, "No one ever tried that move in a choke hold."

I amazed even myself, though my mind had no idea what it was doing, my body seemed to know. I soaked up information like a sponge, noting every move I made.

Next up was Vegeta.

I got a really nice story sort of a fanfic about dbz. A lot of people really like it and it would be cool if someone can draw and make a flash about it. However, it may take time cus I know how hard drawing and making the animation is, but I was just wondering if I could post it somewhere and see if anyone is willing to flash it? Although it must be long cus each episode is like 3 pages long on winword also only 6 episodes were made in writing...
