I *cough* HAD Macromedia Flash MX, but then my computer broke in June. In August or something we got it fixed, and I needed to reinstall all my programs, but MX had been burned from my cuz's comp, so there were no more files on the disc.  So I must wait two days for it back. What program did you use to make that av? |

Flash MX is 500 bucks, but I got it free from Ashley (my cousin), and now I just got the discontinued Photoshop 7.0 from Kristina (my sister), who's boyfriend Justin has it. I feel so loved to be getting all these ripped products for free. ^_^

My dad borrows software from work sometimes, so that's how I got Flash, dreamweaver, and Adobe Photoshop 6, which I'm hoping to replace with the AP Elements I got with my tablet.
So yeah, I have flash, but I don't know how to use it. Or any animation program for that matter.
As for music, my tastes vary drastically. Anywhere from Lion King, Pianotherapy, Cars, Native American Flute music, Video Game music, to your normal bands. Some of my favorites include Sanctuary from KH2, Life is a Highway from Cars, and Talk by Coldplay. Yep... *isamusicloser*

SATURDAYS Holly Brook
Saturday what a day what a silly little day
Time to kill take a pill as I sit and contemplate
How I'd like to be around all the people in the town with their fancy cars and things
But I've got time
STOP PUSHIN ALL YOUR TRAGEDIES AWAY
EACH MOMENT HAS GOT A LESSON FOR THE DAY
TAKE SOMETHING WITH YOU IF YOU DRAG YOUR HEELS IN YESTERDAYS
OH THESE SATURDAYS
In the haste in the grace I've been up to my waist
It isn't real what you feel when you find love in a chase
I've been waiting for the day when someone takes me away and I never get replaced
But I've got time
STOP PUSHIN ALL YOUR TRAGEDIES AWAY
EACH MOMENT HAS GOT A LESSON FOR THE DAY
TAKE SOMETHING WITH YOU IF YOU DRAG YOUR HEELS IN YESTERDAYS
OH THESE SATURDAYS
As I sink one more drink I am running out of ink
Feeling void paranoid about every little thing
And I wonder if I try to get up and say goodbye if I'll have the strength to leave
Cuz I don't have much time anymore
STOP PUSHIN ALL YOUR TRAGEDIES AWAY
EACH MOMENT HAS GOT A LESSON FOR THE DAY
TAKE SOMETHING WITH YOU IF YOU DRAG YOUR HEELS IN YESTERDAYS
OH THESE SATURDAYS

I know how to use Flash. I'm just not too good at the whole, take your time on the drawings so the animation isn't crappy. I'm working on it, though! See, it's like, you have this image in your mind, and you want to see it now, so you rush and you get something totally different and much worse. |

I've got macromedia flash MX, but I haven't got a clue how to use it, because the tutorials are stupid. :/

Animate like, drawing, or how to function the program? (i.e. make a keyframe, movie clip, etc.)

All right, well I figured this out during my 6-month disability of not using it. The key to good, clean animation is many, many layers. You draw like, the scenery on one background on one or several layers, then the outline and basic color (no shading!) of the person on another layer, then draw their clothes on another layer, then shade on another layer.

Then you would make another keyframe. Always have TWO layers for each thing (two for body, two for clothes, two for shading), but scenery can have more. Keep extra blank layers on hand for whatever. So you'll have the second layer for the body, but you can see the first layer. Then what you do is use that to redraw the first body, but in a different pose close to it so it looks like it's moving. Then you copy that layer, delete the first, paste it there, and delete the one you drew it on.
