Ok well I want to animate sure I may suck at first but practice makes perfect... for the first bit it will be with mouse later with tablet... anyways...

I just got Flash CS5 and I have no clue of anything tbh.... some help would be great... thanks..

(I look more into doing like stick animations but anything helps really.)

Stick animations wont get you far, if you want to be a proper animator learn how to draw.

Well about sticks not getting you far, they can really. But then, only a few can and those have to be insane on camera angles & effects like: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/43 0990

But I think the key component to a decent animation has to be patience & never stop trying!

Well, what you can do first, is to do animations, of any kind, maybe a Circle changing it's shape or a blob of ink or something like that, then upload them to the Dumping Grounds And show them to your friends or family and ask them for "constructive criticism" They may told you something that will cheer you up, or some tip to increase your animation skills (sort of RPG game right? lol)

:When you thing your animations kick-butt upload them to the flash portal, and the results may surprise you!
