Great tutorial
I dont even use flash, but this makes me want to. Im already getting great ideas for awesome platformers. One thing I need to ask though, is it possible to make multiple animations for the same thing. Ex: can i have the running animation be at random with about 5 animations for running so the game doesnt look like crap and actually looks like you tried to make it look awesome. And if possible, can it be applied to everythig else like melee, shooting, changing direction, etc.
If this is possible, how much would it be to get good flashcreating software?
