Last year I wanted to challenge myself to recreate some of Toon Boom Harmony's feature set within Flash as a way to gauge where my experience with both programs was at, and created a Star Butterfly rig. I wouldn't call the rig in its current state a 100% accurate recreation, but it seemed to work well enough at the time!

Recently I remembered that I never animated anything with it, and looking into it again I now remember why: it was actually a nightmare to use for much of anything in the world of Flash, lol. I cleaned up the rig internally to match closer to some of the other shows I've worked with and be much easier to work with, sacrificing and reworking some of its fancy effects to go toward usability instead.

and now she's finally free to kick it to a funky beat.
