I lttle do not understand you question - but if you want to export it like gife tryto look on size while importing.

If you want to resize your all frame in flash:

[OwnerOfSuccuby]

To move it = i know 2 ways - move in each frame or Select all frames (the thing where you chose frame by frame animation).

Than copy it. Then make object -> convert it ti movie clip and paste that frames to it.

Then you can move all your animation like one object.

It is much easier then it sounds - so if you do not fid it - ask me a will try to some answer your questions May be i know some thing you need. There are a lot of functions in flash - i do not know them all, but i know some

In case you didn't really understand what OwnerOfSuccuby. Here's a step by step "tutorial".

Highlight all the frames on the timeline, which is all those different boxes with your drawings on. Then right-click and copy frames. Create a new symbol by clicking on the first button out of four under the library. If you can't see the library, press Ctrl+L. After you have named your symbol the screen should be white with a small cross in the middle. Right-click on the timeline and paste frames. If the first frame is empty then you need to add something to it, or remove the first empty frame.

After that, click where it says Scene 1, to the right of it you should see the name of your symbol, Symbol 1 if unchanged. Now you should be back to the main timeline. In the library you should see your symbol, press and drag it on to the white area. After that you need your symbol selected which it is when you got a blue outlined rectangle around it. Click on Modify at the top of the screen, then Transform and Flip Horizontal.

To resize it you can select the Free Transform Tool (Q) from the tool box. Highlight the symbol, hold down shift and drag one of the corners. When you hold down shift it keeps it the same shape.

If you want to make something that you got on a frame in to a symbol, highlight it, right-click and convert to symbol.

I mean some thing like this - but unfortunatly i have not english version of program =(

Just lie idea - you make new movie clip and copy all the animation like frames there. Then you close it and have some thing like file with animation - that you can move like file - not like frame by frame. And drag and drop it

[Jumbo70]

Thanks to the both of you! ^^
Hopefully i get it now


Update: So far ive managed to get only one frame symbolized (hope you get what i mean).... im good at this XD
update2: now i managed to create the flash as a swf, and it shows everything!, getting close i think ^^
upfate3: noup, i still get only one frame when i drag the symbol to "scene 1". tough when i play it from the library, it works fine. Anyhow its getting late so i go bed.

[Jumbo70]

ok, i feel very very stupid but i cant get it to work.....
im still at the same place as im saying in the update3, and its starting to frustrate me.

I go to library, i have the symbol there, i press play and the symbol is zoomed in very much, but it works just fine (i can export the symbol to a sfw and it works there like a charm.
I drag the symbol to the first frame in the original timeline and it comes up in only one frame, the first one and no where else. I know im doing something wrong, but i have no idea what im doing wrong or how to fix it, and i bet peeople are getting frustrated on mee too

just pisses me off cuz it seems that its really easy and im not able to do it....

i know i can move the frames one by one but that will take a lot of time, i also could draw it again but i think it would be important that i learn how to move a damn animation

[KaTsuO_O]

It is fine if the symbol is only on one frame on the main timeline, when you test it (Ctrl + Enter) it should play the animation in the symbol. The symbol contains all those frames and will loop them. This way you don't need all those frames on the main time line and if you want to change the position, size and whatever with it, you can do that without changing individual frames of the original animation.

Hey i'm making a game where you win a level and you unlock a picture. Would you maybe be willing to draw a few pictures for it, once i get a working demo?

Sure i can try ^^

just tell me what to draw (im not that good in drawing human faces tough)


Ps. Holy fuck, it works!!! Thanks! KaTsuO_O ^^ and OwnerOfSuccuby for standing out with me ^^
Pss. and a little question, how can i make it work on gif? ^^

[KaTsuO_O]

Normally you would go to File in the top left corner, Export, Export Movie and then choose Animated GIF in the drop down menu. However, since you have made it a symbol now it doesn't work. What it does is that it captures every frame on the main timeline like they are when you look at them. In this case you won't be able to copy all the frames in the symbol and paste them on the main timeline again because the drawings end up where they originally was created. What you can do is record it with a video recording program, make sure it records Avi, then you can get an Avi to Gif converter. I'm using 123 AVI to GIF Converter (http://www.bitsoft.net/convert-avi-gif.html), it works like a charm. It's free to try as well so you might as well try it.

Alright, thanks for your trouble ^^

Art time!

somehow too skinny or so
And i need to train alot with fluids ^^

I'm not 100% happy with this one tough, cant really put my finger where tough. Shades somehow almost completly dissapear when i scan it, but if i take a picture of it, they are there... go figure.

Anyhow constructive critique is always welcome ^^
This one aint one of my best tough.

Very good art. Do not you think to try to make the game with it ? - some thing like this for example: http://files.sex-anime.net/games/g12/49-MachIII.swf

I think that it will not be hard for you - your art is very good. You will need to transfer your art to flash put it like image and surround it by pen in flash.

Seporate it to parts - and you already will have very very good model in flash. Then if you animate it - it already will be a game or very good movie.

If some questions about coding - you can always ask us - may be even i can answer some of them. May be some body will tell more about how it will be better to animate and redraw - and it can become a good game Or if even it do not - some kind of experience in flash

seems like someone wants me to animate very hard ^^

ive been actually thinking on making a game or movie but before i do any of that, i want to learn little more of flash and before i can really start learning flash, i need free time and atm i sadly dont really have it. but as i said to katsuO_O earlier, i am willing to learn once i get time, wich i will in a month or two, meaby little longer i'm not sure yet.

[KaTsuO_O]

You had time to draw so I think you got a bit of time on your hands at least. One, one hour session with me and you will know how to animate your art. You should be able to have an hour free? I'm sorry, but you have some promising art, would like to see it animated as well.

[OwnerOfSuccuby]

Some times people like to learn how to do some thing alone for some time

By the way Katsu - what is with TFT and where is Steel ?

Jumbo70 - hope to see some of your projects with your fox one day, she is really good

I understand ^^

but ehm... the main problem is that im still living at my parents house and i dont think they take it so kindly if they see mee animatin pumpaction
but in the other hand i could train with someting else, walk cycles, basic arm swings, heck even a little 2d game similiar to pacman.

That is also true, but by the looks of and the amount of headache i got from just trying to move an animation, i might need to skip this part completly XD

Also, at last someone noticed that its actually a fox, not a wolf ^^ (still wondering little on the colours tough, and perhaps would be smart to make somekind of patterns or so, so it stands out a little from the crowd)

[KaTsuO_O]

Don't worry, I teach how to do things in general. I could teach you how to do a simple arm movement and a blink animation and you would be able to animate a whole lot else, it is that simple.
