fit perfectly together!

[187BlackWolf]

[BassWav]

[10123roger]

[TacticalFartINCOMING]

thumbs up if you watched this video cause it looks like a penis

[mahadistar56]

thanx for the vid.....now i can create a leg which is kicking a football...... lol

[PaRoDiEr1993]

So the Bone Tool will pretty much replace Motion Tween, because now Motion Tween sucks.

[CasualBlitz]

The first time I did it, it works perfectly ! (I tried in a leg in one symbol)

But, I used this one for a second time and I don't know why it isn't working.

Let me explain : I draw a character in one symbol. I converted it into a clip.

And then the bone isn't working. I did exactly the same thing I did in the first one.

Could you help me please ? ='(

[mahadistar56]

@CasualBlitz hey just dont make it into a symbol....just make a leg and with selection tool select the leg...and bone tool ...blah blah...

[CasualBlitz]

@mahadistar56 But sometimes it doesn't work like that. I've alrerady tried this and it recomenc me to convert into a symbol ! Weird... maybe I'm missing something ?

[crazymike65]

does the drawing have to be just a plain drawing, or can i make it a symbol? whenever i try to use the bone tool on a symbol it only works sometimes.

[s24simon]

IT HELPED BUT STILL LITTLE CONFUSED!

[ihelptechtube2]

hyp click?

[stayaliveorstaydead]

Boner tool

[krayzeejojo]

I'm taking a Flash class right now and my instructor rushed through this part so quickly, nobody in class understood it. Thanks for explaining this thoroughly.

[TheMapleDreamer]

if you've animated in flash for a number of years then how come you suck dick?

[BlacVelvet]

Did everybody watching this vid buy adobe flash? If so, how much did you pay? I want to buy it but its freaking expensive!

[TheHtorrent]

[mediabench]

[Koreman11]

Doesn't work. Entire drawing becomes an IK Shape.

[gothix114]

@Koreman11 worked for me

[Koreman11]

@gothix114 After restarting CS5 it worked as expected. It was probably a bug.

[mooveez4U]

im so pissed of with myself, i tried this about a year ago and failed, and now i realized that you're supposed to literally click the top of the pic. im an idiot!! but at least i can start animating :D THanks!!!

[pengro7]

Did you say, "...in the new Adobe Flash CS4."? Never say things like new in videos.

[Ziipfro]

@pengro7 That is what the date stamp on the video is for, so people can see when the new things were new

[pancaikyful]

When I use the bone tool, the colour inside the drawing i made disappears... PLEASE HELP ME!

[SuperNolanator]

[MrSharan1997]

/watch?v=OAyb_2ddk_Q

[nairad100]

is this better than anime studio in bones-wize?

[malinikola3]

Very nice! :D Thanks

[inside029]

Outstanding tutorial! Thanks man!

[TheAnkify]

booner tool? :D looks like a penis!! :P

[RealShrooblord]

Whoops I meant to say 'select the drawing then right click the drawing', not 'right click the timeline'.

[RealShrooblord]

PS

Anyone who's wondering, to later remove the bones from your drawing, if you need to edit the drawing itself because something isn't quite right, select the layer, right click the layer in the timeline and click 'break apart'. This will completely remove the bones and turn your boned drawing back into an editable drawing.

[msdutchess1987]

THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE SEEN ON THE SUBJECT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[crossxchill]

I need help!!! after I highlighted the object and used the bone tool, it does not group the entire drawing together. only a part (the colour of the leg) of the drawing bent....

[TaterThao]

I need help. I made a hand but the stroke and the fill will not form together unless I use union. But when I do union I can't use the bone tool. Then if I convert it back to a shape it still is separate from the stroke. HELP MEH PLEASE!

[brutaka359]

This makes me wanna Mac :P

[SmexyTrailerz]

I can't fucking select my drawing. When I try the whole thing just moves

[smurray567]

your sooo gay.

[brutaka359]

@smurray567 You're his sooo gay? Good for you xD

[azguy35]

You can't draw worth #@$%

[agentfusion360]

why is he putting bones on a penis? hehe just messing, thanks for the tutorial man, very easy to grasp

[shikamaru5608]

Very cool tutorial. I have one question though. Say you wanted to rotate the foot 90 degrees to face the camera (instead of facing to the right like you have it). Would I have to redraw the foot facing the camera? Or is there a way to rotate it?

[smutery]

ahhhh im an ubber noob,,, why does it sometimes select the drawing with boxes separations(as if it was an object or idk) and sometimes in the shown form above where the object gets "greyed" at 0:57-0:59

[brianthelion79]

Thank you!

[overlord970]

hehe bone.....

[Spongesponger]

You sound so friendlyyyyy

[REsidentVille]

He's better than all my high school computer teachers put all together

[rockonforever13]

@REsidentVille Funny thing is... I'm in a computer class right now and my teacher told me to learn from him!!! That's how good he is!! :)

[nikes5a5m5]

dude this is awesome, thank you

[HugeGiantMan]

@ruso260262

1. Go to Google

2. Type "Flash CS5" to the search bar

3. Press enter

4. Open the first link.

If you can't even bother to use google, you won't have enough patience to animate.

[Anonymous6075]

@HugeGiantMan

If you can't read somebody's comment correctly, you don't have the intelligence to post properly.

He said flash CS4, not CS5, try finding a download for a flash CS4 trial that works and isn't filled with viruses.

[HugeGiantMan]

@Anonymous6075

You can do basically all of that with CS5, so why does it matter?

[ruso260262]

looks awesome I want flash cs4, where do you guys download it from? 0.o

[Anonymous6075]

@ruso260262

CS5 is the only version you can get for a trial, I'm not sure about purchase though.

If it's CS5 you want, google it.

[kittymimi200]

oh man thanks so much! this is really helpful :)

[SuperMansueto98]

I can now use the bone tool to make a boner now.

[ProtusMose]

I tried to follow along and make a stick figure's arm move. When I select shoulder,and arm segments, they all select with their boxes. If I try to use the bone tool on them, the Output pane pops up with "Plugin tool script error in method mouseDown." I tried to make an entire figure into a symbol first, but the bone tool does nothing when used within the same symbol. :\

[Peenut2k7]

That bone's makin a boner.

[JoaquinandRene]

Does anyone know how to make your character walk straight close to the camera from a far distance?

[STBNY]

Now I cant take this tutorial seriously, lol.

[Arcziee]

cant listen to ur female voice and ur mistakes, some people should leave recording themselves, try gardenning son 

[Arcziee]

[ONLYPSNXBL]

BONER TOOL :) FTW

[SamusAranRox]

You calling the animating symbols one complex? I can't figure out how to animate the leg I made but I easily figured out how to do the symbols one with your tutorial...

[SamusAranRox]

Help me with CS5... I can't figure out what to do with the bitmap... It doesn't work with the bitmap which really pisses me off...

[MayrillaAmarillaShow]

my bone tool is not working!

i need help. I was trying to animate a walking cartoon and everything is fine except for the EFFING shoe. the bone tool does not extend from the "knee" to the foot but it does for about 2 cms below. HELP PLEASE.

[TheBronxBanger]

I am seeing all these bone tool tutorials with simple art... such as cartoon characters.... can someone take a photo or an image of a real person and bone tool that. i am having alot of trouble getting the bone tool to work for that

[LilGunner030]

@TheBronxBanger It's because bone tool contorts the imagery to make realistic skin distortions(or to the best of it's ability), but because its an imported image and not made by primitives from flash it can't necessarily render how to change the images associated with the joints of the bones.

[LeBearExtrordinare]

great tutorial :)

[MysteriousBrownEyes1]

Does anyone know about how much this costs?

[gp4f2008]

@MysteriousBrownEyes1 I know! Download it from thepiratebay and it costs 0.00 $. :)

[MysteriousBrownEyes1]

@gp4f2008 Doesn't work.

[DJaxs312]

@MysteriousBrownEyes1 Try btjunkie.

[Darkside2205]

thanks for the extremely helpful tutorial! I've never paid much attention to the bone tool now I'm wishing I'd learned to use it earlier....

[Geniusisdead]

... so,

xDXDXD

[chevychevelle396]

Uh....how do you get Adobe Flash?

[NikuNekoDoki]

yeah those who think it is a penis are very sexual but thatsnt something bad xD

[foreveremo]

my entire object disappears when i click in insert pose, why does this happen?? :(

[deebil1]

OTL how did i live without this thing XD, love how you made the tutorial very noob friendly since im not very good at flash. the leg seems a bit glitchy but im pretty sure thats because your not using that symbols method you were talking about

[ivandonat]

@deebil1 It's laggy because it has to move a lot in a small amount of frames, if you make it to be longer it will be smoother

[TheAusieBloke]

51 people thought it was a penis.

[jachvideos]

why cant i use it in movie clip?

[mrfmj123]

I clicked this because it looked like a penis.

[luckdragon01]

Just learning how to use flash really makes me angry. It never works the way you want it to and its not easy to learn...

[Seveleniumus]

Hello, I am trying out bone tool, but it seems to have some serious issues,when you save and reopen your project some of the armatures seem to become attached to wrong(witch can be fixed by dragging it around) OR same shape(witch can't be fixed and you basically have to redo the whole armature from scratch), further more, it seems to screw up ALL your fla files, meaning all projects, witch uses particular symbol. I found out that this is a quite common bug. Anyone knows how to avoid it?
