This is my second flash animation and I used the SwishMax 15 day trial software to create it.
While my first one was using Macromedia and was all frame-by-frame, I found that Swish does not lend itself to being very good at it, however it does have its strengths. I found that it is very easy to do tweens and effects in Swish, so this movie is done totally with them.
Since I am fairly new to flash and Swish especially, I'm not sure if I did the preloader correctly.
The other problem I had was I couldn't stream the sound, so the outcome is a bit unpredictable.
I would appreciate any feedback from those familiar with SwishMax.

i didnt watch the movie....i clicked the eye it was pretty funn...but the movie is pointless and is completely great!

ugh

Very trippy man lol.. Only one problem.. and it wasnt even a problem it was just tehre lol.. The little eye from kookybird in the upper right i watched this movie 3 times before i actually watched the movie.. I was having too much fun clicking the eye things lol... But it was a really good job loved the flash.. Keep up the good work. And it would have been a 10 but there is always room for improvment and i have yet to give anyone as good of a score as you.. soo be proud :-p... Till someone actaully gets a 10 lol... GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB.. And i love the pointlessness :-D it gives a stoner pride :-p hahah and makes him thinkk......

Brilliant, just Brilliant

I had seen this movie and thaught to myself 'what the hell is up with the bird?' then i got thinking :P but anyway i loved it, the grass was amazingly well done and everything else was great well the sound was very well chosen but it stopped like half way through the movie for me :S

lastly i have used swish 2.0 and made a....shit ass movie since i hadnt had the common sence to learn how to use everything properly, but i think any kind of animation software is hard to use so i say this movie was well as iv said before, brilliant, just brilliant

Thanks for the kind remarks!! I'm proud of the bird character, because he was my very first creation in flash, although this isn't his first appearance. As for swish, I've become much more familiar and proficient with it and I like it more and more. My only gripes are that frame-by-frame animation and streaming sound are impossible with it. Streaming sound would have kept the music in time with the animation.
Thanks again for the review and if you have questions about swish just send me an email.
