okay tutorial

it was an alright tutorial. pretty basic overall.... but sometimes the basics are adequate enough for some people. sprite tutorials are a little bit unoriginal as i've seen a number of them before... same with the tips and pointers, but i do admire you wanting to assist other flash artists... always nice to see.

Not so good...

I think its retarted manually importing a sprite sheet and then manually breaking it apart and making movieclip symbol sprites this way. Why? Because:
a) You can just import the whole sprite sheet via code at run time from the folder that your game s in, this way you can always change the sprite graphics without having to recompile to whole fla.

b) If you have the sprite sheet imported and cached in a bitmap data object you can copypixel any sprite from it into a dynamically created movieclip and animate it automatically.

c) That all only takes a few lines of code and can be done in 5 minutes compared to the hours you waste if you do it your way.

^^Good Points^^
A decent musical choice. Seems like you at least know something about sprites.

^^Needs Improving^^
This is really a lacking tutorial. There are already sprite tutorials on NG, and you really didn't add anything besides the bare minimum of animating sprites. If you are going to make a tutorial in this day and age it has to have at least something special about it. This had a bland graphical layout, and had way too many words per slide. It is intimidating to see all of that text on one page, try splitting it up.

Great work on this awsome tutorial.

Ya know i been meaning to make one for almost 2 yrs now. hehe but never got around to it. and in less than a month after u joined u made a flash movie see now that's why your on the team. I hope this gets a award cause i sure could have used this when i started out.
