Adobe Flash CS4 - Sprite Animations Basics Tutorial

[MineFan13]

tip for beginners: set the movie clip into a graphic for helping your animation much faster (like a real animator) before you publish to YouTube or Newgrounds.

[SacTappingUnicorn]

crap... he doesn't read in English

[infinitcode2]

@SacTappingUnicorn lol what the hell are you talking about ?

[SacTappingUnicorn]

@infinitcode2 Well, the majority of your program's options look like they're Swedish or something (sorry if I'm way off).

I didn't mean to offend you or anything... just thought I'd mention it since it makes it a little harder to understand what you're doing

[infinitcode2]

@SacTappingUnicorn ahha no actually it's just frensh, thats 3 years ago , today I got all my programs on English language so you guys can understand better and I got used to english in my programs now anyways so :P

[SacTappingUnicorn]

@infinitcode2 Oh, nice. It's good to hear that

[infinitcode2]

@SacTappingUnicorn helll yeah :P i thought it would be pretty helpful for you guys too so :)

[SenoirSwoosh]

OK so i have phototshop cs4 and flash cs4. EVERY FUCKING TIME I try opening a spritesheet (I've tried every format) It says its missing a fucking plugin. -_____- & then when i try using flash cs4 as a substitute.. it gets REALLY LAGGY. If i open a spritesheet....... and if i use paint the quality becomes SHIT.

[XxTheSkiverxX]

Can you make a video tutorial on how to make a sprite fight plzzzzzz because im tired of using pivot 3.0

[blaze7774]

There is so much wrong with this video

[infinitcode2]

@blaze7774 there us so much wrong with this comment

[DUNKIN811]

After I Get My Sprite Running In Place,I Can't Get the Finished Product Into My Library!

Your Video Shook too Much So I Don't Know what You Clicked D:

[infinitcode2]

@DUNKIN811 tell me where exactly in the video ?

[keccakec]

I can't make the sprite run I got to the point where it's a single frame at 6:10 but sonic doesn't run just stands in place.

[ZagonFULL]

wtf tool are you using dude is it downloaded i dont have it ;(

[infinitcode2]

@ZagonFULL nope , its all in Flash

[NickStoneX]

Now i can make Mario bloopers :D

[1leerick]

im so lost i just got adobe flash today and i used to use pivot this shit is confusing as hell

[KillaTundant]

I need a tutorial on how to sync 2 symbols and make them fight.. CANT FIND ANYWHERE ON YOUTUBE!

[Persegan]

@KillaTundant I think you need to create two layers, one for each symbol, and then combine the two time lines with different sprites. But I'm just a noob, so I may be wrong ^_^U

[masteralex62]

whats that?

why is the camero follwoing the mouse?

[zeronthehedgehog]

can u use photoshop instead?

[TechFreak74]

Can I add one Sprite into one frame move to the next frame and add the next sprite in his animation individually? Kinda like Pivot?

[infinitcode2]

@TechFreak74 No , that will not work , it will screw all up !

[TechFreak74]

@infinitcode2 I was thinking how would I do something more exact like animation 2 sprites clashing swords or something but I guess you can just use 2 sprites in one animation, anyway thanks for the tutorial it definitely helped!

[BioHazard874]

@TechFreak74 You most definitely can, it sometimes it can be a much more efficient way. Just make sure you have Onion skins on.

[infinitcode2]

@TechFreak74 Nop , there is no way

[infinitcode2]

on the library , Click Ctrl+F to make it show up

[dbzpivots100]

[infinitcode2]

I promiss

[IchimaruGinChan]

Did i saw SMBZ? Does that mean Super Mario Bros Z? I love that series!

[infinitcode2]

Yeah !

I Did animated SMBZ From 1 to 6 for alvin, alvin maded the story , I animated and other people did other stuff . I Have flash file cuz its animated by meh . We was like 5 animators cuz its a lot of stuff. Yeah you saw SMBZ ^^

[KingOfFrownz]

Why is it that when i make one of the sprites animations and drag it onto the animation board and make a motion tween I have to move to how long I want it instead of it doing this itself?

[infinitcode2]

Click : Create motion tween in the key and move as much as u want and click Create new Key

[Xaragon64DS]

Do you need Adobe Fireworks? I have Photoshop. When I press Ctrl V to paste, my sprites look all crappy and I can't go to Modify/Bitmap/Trace Bitmap, it's grey.

[infinitcode2]

That'S why I Realy recommande FireForks !

I will give you a serial key to have it for ever if u want to download it :D

[KingOfFrownz]

Where on earth did you get that sonic sprite sheet

[infinitcode2]

lol i don't realy remeber !

Google is your friend

[Jobrat23]

i hav fire works cs3 cn i do that color thing wit cs3 or i need cs4

[infinitcode2]

yeah you can :D

[darkdragon581]

i don't wanna download the fireworks cs4 thing, any idea if i can remove the background with gimp?

[infinitcode2]

Yes sure, Use the all selecting color and selecte the BG color and then click Delete.

U Can download fire works portable witch you don'T need to install !

[darkdragon581]

i tried it on gimp and well... when i put it into the flash cs4 and click onion skin, when i try and place the sprite correctly, theres still a white box around it, idk how to get rid of that , i never realized how hard it is to start sprite animating

[infinitcode2]

that's why u need Fire Works Or Photoshop.

LoL and yes it is a little bit Hard.

[darkdragon581]

any idea where i can find fire works for free? took long enough for me to find flash for free

[infinitcode2]

google is ur friend :)

[darkdragon581]

not really, Google showed me 2girls1cup and encyclopedia dramatica, but ok

[TutorialesGraphics]

[infinitcode2]

[sonic2399]

[Volkain10]
