Pixel look in flash?

[Cramshad]

Hey everyone.

I figured I'd ask this here, since there's a lot of decent animators who know a trick or few about flash and other various programs.

Anyway...

I was wondering how to get a pixel look using flash? To give an example, here's a panel from Andrew Hussie's Homestuck (spoilers ahead, for anybody who follows the series) :

If it's not a matter of flash, does anybody know the program(s) he uses? I'm dying to make some pixel looking gifs, and flash isn't really cutting it since its vector-based.

Thanks in advance. :3

Use Mspaint and export it into flash

How, though? I'm not too experienced with flash outside of the basics.

zoom into the page in mspaint and use a small square brush to make your pixels or you can use photoshop

ahaha... I meant importing it...

The problem with paint is that (I don't think) you can make transparent images. If I could, it might not be a big problem since I can turn them into symbols and work with it... but I really, really don't feel like removing the white parts from around the images I create /then/ using them, because I know there's an easier way to work around it.

Using photoshop's animation panel might not be a bad idea... I might need to find some more pixel-y brushes first, though.

Oh! One more thing... is there any way to adjust brush size with this tool?

[Jomillex]

Yes with the line settings. Adjust the color with brush color tho

Where are the line settings? I'm having trouble finding them. I try adjusting it with the brush, but the pixel tool is always 1 px... :<
