awsome video i just got flash like 2 days ago so im trying to get a hang of it but this helped alot thanks! but i have one problem when i got to move the eye lid down it grabs the whole thing and wont let me ajust it like in 3:30 if you could help that would be awsome thanks alot great vid! 5/5

[stephenstutorials]

right! What you want to do is move your cursor over the edge of the object. Wait for your cursor to change to a curved line, indicating you've reached the edge. Then click and drag!

If the object you are working on is a symbol, double click to edit it's internal objects.

[sk8terdude317]

awsome thanks also when i double click it to fix the internal objects how do i return it back to the normal editing where its not faded anymore?

[stephenstutorials]

either double click outside of the object you are editing (in the gray area) or click back using the navigation under the timeline.

Thanks dude! I just got flash and when i first used it I only used 1 layer xD

why do you need a layer for each part of drawing

[stephenstutorials]

The layers help you separate the elements of the drawing. Especially when working with an animation. Revealing and locking different layers helps you only select the objects you need.

ey, man when I press the Create Motion Tween it says " The tween could not be applied to some of the selected frames. This could be to frames containing ActionScript,multiple objects, non-tweenable objects, or being in a layer that could not be tween layer" I don't now what to do!

[stephenstutorials]

Hmm, interesting... I can't say I've run into the problem recently enough to remember what to fix. I can't reenact the problem. The best thing to do when you run into problems like that is to save the version you are working on, then take a few steps back. Sometimes I have to completely start a project over (Especially when Action Scripting).

dude i know u got an idea on how to do flash...but do somethin about the screen following the mouse...i couldnt see wat ur doing!!!

[stephenstutorials]

Thanks, yeah unfortunately in order to keep the size of the video down for the screen capture it has to capture at a low frame rate. Sorry!

[JamesWorldStudios]

I have no idea what your doing, I cant even get to that part. I wish you started from the beginning.
