It's a very good tutorial. The text is easy to read and you explained everything very well. I also thank you for not including any music, as music in tutorials tends to get boring very quickly. ;)
I missed some kind of menu here. It would be nice if I could choose from a menu which part of the tutorial I want to see. That way I don't have to click through the whole tutorial if there's just one topic that I'm interested in.

Hmm that might just be an idea xD. Didn't think of that. Thanks.
Good tutorial.
Animation / Graphics - Something that I look for when rating a flash that is primarily text is how well the text is organized and how neat it looks. Since nobody wants to be reading something that is all over the place or unpleasing to the eye. Your text was neat, organized, and easy to read. Another thing was that you added pictures a long with your explanation, and even added some basic animation in the pictures them selves.
Story - Each step and section seemed to be very carefully thought out and each section went into a lot of detail. Not only was there a lot of information, but it was clear to people who might be new to flash. I know when I tried making sprites that something like this really would of helped, since I find it more helpful then other tutorials that I have seen on newgrounds.
Audio - I never like listening to an empty flash. I rather have some sound effects whether it's just a noise when clicking the next and back button to some basic background music to keep the watcher from falling a sleep or getting bored.
Overall, pretty good tutorial with a lot of information.

Glad you found it a good tutorial. Yea the next one is getting some music xD
Wow never reviewed a sprite tutorial
What an amazing tutoorial no sound but really, detailed and helpful to understand.
Graphics.8/10 Nothing to flashy the interface is exellant, and the step by step instrutions are very well drawn. The use of the showing circles round the text, on the programmes is very helpful. I thought the moving graphics are impressive.
Sound. I not going to give you a o that unfair, but i was thought it was a shame there seemed to be no sound on this tutorial. It would have been nice on the bits ,where you shown Mario move ,but its does not really matter to much.
What i loved about this tutorial is the simple ,bit by bit help done is such a quirky way. The use of showing how do do it is great ,as i never paid much attention to them before. I thought it would be impossible to follow, but it was not as i know how do some of the things you showed. Obviously it was fairly simple then it got harder later on, what i liked what how you made yours fun to follow. It did not seem like a chore to follow ,as it seemed to be like having fun. The end results were worth the wait ,and i loved how you had the moving animation.
My only complaint is the lack of sound, and maybe it could have more colors on it.
Overall as someone who always wanted to do flash your tutorial ,has been a great help as well as pleasure to play.

Glad that you learned something =]. Yea maybe I should have just added a low size song to it. (loops get anoying though) On the other hand, putting no music in, leaves you to listen to your own music. Glad you could follow what happened xD, I can't really judge that wen I make it. I try to make it as clear as possible :P
I apologize..
But this review isn't going to be a very detailed review due to the fact that I don't have enough knowledge of flashmaking to base a solid review on your work.
From what I can tell you were able to give a lot of solid details about what a newbie to spritemaking would need to know when it came to creating their first sprite flash. This is extremely important. There are a lot of garbage sprites that come through the portal everyday, and it's thanks to people like you for creating tutorials like this that will inspire other to do well in future efforts.
The amount of detail was well done, which is a plus, but the clarity of the information you were trying to convery was very clear, which is an extremely important part of creating a tutorial. You included screenshots and even some "minimovies" I guess I should call them, which are important because sometimes words don't get accross the message properly.
Overall I'd say you've done a great job with this tutorial, and hopefully you'll come out with a second one sometime in the near future! Looking forward to seeing it!

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I wouldnt mind more of a lighter color feel but it was ok
~~OVERALL~~
Great tutorial here
~X~
Some more colors makes it anoying to stare at, when you don't understand it. It could have used some more animation and examples though, so I do sorta agree.
