I'm thinking of going Frame by Frame although it will be alot of work. I have alot of time on my hands so iv got that covered heh. Thing is I cant draw anime that well when im just messin with flash, only when I actually put effort out.

I'd say use a higher framerate, try to avoid too much tweening cause fbf looks a lot better, use the onion skin tool a lot, and remember that most moving objects have to build momentum. Like a fist throwing a punch, the first two frames won't change as much as the middle two frames because by the time it gets to the middle it will be moving faster than when it first started. I dunno if I'm explaining this right.... Like a car! No car can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour as soon as you touch the pedal, anything moving is just the same. They teach this in science, it's inertia or something, I don't remember, I always sleep through science.

Yea I know what you mean. Thanks for the tip. I'm planning to practice with frame by frame a bit more! Practice makes perfect!
