Yups, I'm considering making a short Kp-flash cartoon with macromedia flash. Problem is I have the program but I am absolutely retarded and don't know how to use it. It's like me learning how to use photoshop for the first time again, except I don't want to spend another year searching around random tutorials getting confused until I actually get something right. Is there someone here who knows how to use flash that can give me a rough guide or tutorial on how to use it? As of recently I'm learning how to make basic flash in photoshop, but the only drawback here is that I can't add sounds to it. Bummer... Anyway, any help will be appreciated  |

I'm in the same boat as Levelord! Sadly, I suck at Flash. I tried to make the flash dress-up game, but that went badly. If anyone could help out two beginners, I'm sure we'd be happy.  Yes, we've merged forces, without me telling Leve. |

Shhh, Santa can hear us! >.>;;;
Anyway, yeah, I want to create some really simple things, like Rufus sleeping and stuff... Maybe Ron Sorting through his locker? Blah. Someone help us please?

I'm actually making a fashion show. Yeah sounds very industrious, but I'm having a go with rough sketches first.

Oh lords, I've been dying to learn Flash for YEARS. Oooh, we can do stuff in photoshop?
I heard that when Adobe bought out Macromedia - they merged their software together to make an unholy lovechild. A Flash program, with Adobe toolbars! So if you get Photoshop, it may be easy to pick up Flash too. I think. Anywho, add me to the list of Flash-ignorant 'tards. ;D

There is a lot of flash tutorials at internet....
and you can make flash animations in Adobe ImageReady like a gif, but if you want to make something more complicated try Macromedia Flash.
I'm making a video and I think taht is a good program

levelord: OMG ur sketchs are so hot!!!! love ur work. BTW really love 'The Memo Pad' by you on dA. flash is good for what u'd be using it for, a much easier way on making movements and good for dynamic UI. there should be some good tutorials out there on how to use it well, if not get a good book. for me its been so long since ive done anything flash, even photoshop (say a few years lol)  your art has inspired me to giving being artistic a go again. |

I'm a Flash user. But I'm still an intermediate Flash user, so I can only .. somehow "teach" the Basic and some Advance stuff. I still suck at ActionScripts though. |

Flash needs a bit of coding and stuff, apparantly. At least, the really difficult stuff does...

LIke they use for adding play buttons, dress-up games etc etc You have to code a lot of parts of the Interactive ^^;;;

God, I'd rather just click a few buttons that does all the coding for me. I'm too lazy to learn. Why can't it be as simple as photoshopping?! *sob*

Its been a while since I used Flash, I probably forgot all the stuff I knew. For testing quick animations or roughs I use Digicel Flipbook, its pretty easy to use and its meant specificially for 2d animation.

actionscripting by the looks of it isnt terribly hard... its used (like JavaScript) for interaction control and would be the basis for most dynamic interaction websites... also u use it to make games with it... i cant see it being harder than JS really
but thats me having a bit of a programming background

LIke they use for adding play buttons, dress-up games etc etc You have to code a lot of parts of the Interactive ^^;;; There is a way to make the buttons and stuff without the Codings.. But that will take a long time. ActionScripts basically are codes (like HTML, only harder) that you have to put in to make your animation go easier and to activate stuff for you pictures (buttons, movement, etc...). It also makes Animating stuff alot easier. Otherwise, you will have to do Frame by Frame and normal Frame-to-Frame Motion Tweening for every layer. And that will take quite awhile if you have tons of stuff trying to move about at the same time. And Nabu, it is simple! .. Well, more simple that Photoshop to me anyways. |
