[iamtrash123]

[pandatimeinitblud]

This guys voice makes me feel safe

[cooluluv]

nice tutirial! simple and nice work :)



[Trish312]

Can this be done in PSE 9 ?

[jamespearce07]

Great Vid, BUT I cant seem to cut the image that I need, I keep getting a square that just fills itself in rather than a vine that is growing! Any help would be great thanks.

[GDM223SR]

Very clear. Thanks!

[SatriyoJCC]

[RobHalford92]

[SlashDotGFX]

hero =] this is the one technique in flash that always had me puzzled and wanting to learn

[batmansDaughter]

you are a SAINT! you just saved a student from endless hours of brainstorming and figuring out myself how to achieve this effect.....and probably finding some way more complicated and longer way to do it in the end. <3

[happybirdtime]

This is awesome! Will try it out soon ^^

[kash703]

Thank you so much for ur tutorials!! they are sooo amazing!! :D

[DienesOly]

[MsBijaymishra]

[damaged2]

Thanks much. Just wondering if this is the only way of doing this effect?

[UnCopyrightedRock]

Anyone know a good Tablet that would work with flash, For a reasonable price?

[wolfy02]

@UnCopyrightedRock tx2500 from HP. It's not bad, has a problem with the backlighting sometimes. usually pick one up from $300-500

[jojorakuen]

[shemdrex88]

[kirsty4446]

Hi thankyou 4 your assistance on Flash! - you explain it alot better than the other vid's that try explaining how vines work! Just have a few Q. is there much diff between CS4 and CS5 flash? & I did watch another vid, ill have to find it, though this tree grew slower and the apples on the tree popped, slowly out as the tree grew, would this be a case of that you 'mask' - is that the right word, ?? firstly a spot in the apple & then create a circle round the inner circle & so on &so 4th? thanx

[BigBadTurk92]

hey dude, im pissed out of my mind

My mask effect doesnt work i tried different types of masking and everytime i try to mask it doenst show my mask but the object thats is masking is this case the green oval in the beginning why wont it go away and show me my mask as i want it

any help??

Thank you

[fabolouskit]

hey how to get .ai file? i try to make it myself whti adoeb iliustrator btu i cant do double time ctrl+b, i can make jsut 1 time and my img and his bg just go in 1 box, many dots but all in one (white and black together) hope any one understand what i try to say and im asking for help :P if any one can make me pm

[jbeiyu]

your tutorials are the best THX A LOT! keep up the good work mate!

[mavc18]

very nice dude, but it takes time ^^

[riveraabegil]

your tutorial was GREAT! but can't i use photoshop which will be saved as jpeg and do the same? well i tried that but the problem is... i can't have the outline of my artwork? and i doesn't work? so i guess.. i need an illustrator for this?

[sweetashoney12345]

save your photoshop document as a PSD instead of a JPEG WHEN YOU GO INTO FLASH YOU GO TO FILE IMPORT TO LIBRARY AND THEY WILL UPLOAD ALL LAYERS IF YOU SAVE IT AS A JPEG IT COMPRESSES INTO ONE LAYER SO YOU HAVE TO SAVE AS A PHOTOSHOP DOCUMENT

[trishkellytrishkelly]

thank u so much for the tutorial. is there any shortcut to zoom in and out since i cant use the mouse wheel and since its time consuming to change the zoom setting by clicking? thanks agn

[s7alter04]

@trishkellytrishkelly The shortcuts for zooming in flash are hold ctrl and hit - (hyphen) and =(equal sign).

[erikj7]

Never mind, I figured it out. I was doing a logo and the whole image being considered a bitmap. Instead of the trimmed out logo. I brought it in as a png and had success!

[erikj7]

Very cool. Thanks for doing. One question: when I did this, and I hit command enter, the brush strokes I did do not stay with in the lines, what am I over looking? Thx.

[ramannetje]

adoooobie

XD

[SolidBigBoss89]

which kind of the program you use ? ;)

[LSBWeedie]

You're awesome... and you really know how to explain and have patience.. thanks ;)

[DamianKrzywonos]

[billywjr73]

Nice tutorial but even better, great instructor... explained things and made things make sense.

[KaiWaddington]

[MomoShow9]

thanks you very much :)

[solde99]

thanks!

[meritgraphicdesign]

Dope tut

[crangesJ]

dude this tutorial is just plain rubbish bullshit, i cant even break apart it just keeps all of the outside part still.

[crangesJ]

sooo awsome!

[MCNsayN]

great tutorial!! it's fun learning from somebody who clearly enjoys teaching :) thanx!

[1234doawee]

does it have to be vector?

[wesKokigen]

Great tutorial!

[aleenadyn]

Very good tutorial.

[startstatic00]

you sir. are amazing.

[saljabri94]

very nice tutorial

[multicolorlips0]

Great vid, but I have some problems! When at the end I lock the Artwork layer, I can't see anything... If I leave it unlocked I can see the brushes in motion (with the colored outlines), but when I lock that layer everything disappear! :( Why?! :( Please help me! :(

[sherri1010]

@multicolorlips0 I have the same problem! Help!!!!

[SKR1ER]

Your tutorial was GREAT. Thank you very much :). I am using this technique to create a hand-written effect. However, I animated the entire word yet when I export, the animation stops after the first letter. Any ideas on why this happens? I am using CS5

[BlushBrush87]

you're gonna name it phill? way to get attached ;)

[ddvink]

Great!!! Thnx man!

[soniyakang]

Thanks a Lot, This Tutorial is really helpful. God Bless You.

[Lauritheartist]

Thanks sooo much for this tutorial! I'm still getting the hang of Flash and I want to make a really cool video for my dad. =) Thanks again!!! ^.^

[heathcoat1]

This is great but it stops working when I add an image beneath the artwork layer. Is there a way to get this to work with an image behind it instead of a white screen?

[DiDimitrova]

amazing ! what is the name the website ? :) I can't really hear it..

[babystuffed]

iloveyou!!!this soo cool

[pogerin]

800 deserved likes, thank you very much :)

[qnaman]

Here's another easier way to made something like that. You should copy a vector and use them as mask. 

[JohnnyJohnW]

30 Persons have Pivot

[House38500]

Thank you so much.

[HBK289]

Very good man, thanks very much, very useful!

[Usoppable]

[ViralPacifier]

Great tutorial. You sound just like Charlie Sheen. (not intended to be an insult btw)

[bRyANthen0112]

Thanks for the useful technique. ;)

[richmob111]

[mariahmika]

where can I find the flash 8 download!?

[junior00bacon00chee]

@mariahmika

well, i don't know personally.....but i heard through the grapevine that you can find these type of things on the torrent networks, that is illegal tho i think, which is why i never do it of course.

just download ABC torrent, and then go to:

btjunkie (dot) org

make sure to read through the comments, and look at the rating to make sure it is a legit file, and of course only download the legal stuff.

[pajke007]

WOW, this video is great! I just finished my vine its not as yours, and quality is a little bad, but i think i did a good job for first time...if you want i can send it to you by mail to check it out..thanks!!

[Rossagues]

It work flourish for me, it just stops the animation.. i need help fast.. please reply!

[frozenheartedflame]

♫...that's way cool... enjoyed your tutorial, love the way how you deliver your explanations...♪

[xDBladerDx]

COOL!!!!!!

[NomisATdk]

G8 turtorial bro! its just awesome!

[XtutsiX]

You had me at "lazy man's way to go" ! =D

[iicaptain123]

Thanks - a very helpful and well explained tutorial. I found that using a Spray Brush gives you a nice speckled build on the flourish for something a little different. Cheers.

[szumwalt]

Too awesome man!!!

[WWWGravityGamesCom]

great tutorial, it helped me a lot :)

[hello8th1237]

great vid i made a lot of my own thanks

[fher012]

Great vid. Created an animation using the longer way. My question is, how do I move the whole animation to another part of the page? The only way I can see how to do it is frame by frame, which after aligning and moving 250 strokes will drive me nuts.

[jachvideos]

Amazing, thanks, but looks like thats the hard way, it have to be another easy way... but thanks anyway lol

[vliembo2]

F6 F6 F6 thanks a lot! like your tutorials!!

[abobakramer]

thanksssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssss alot

[thiskidsweet]

Wow! It looks pretty easy! Thank you so much! You're my new favourite teacher. :D

[PhatTrack]

when i lock up my artwork layer at 8:50 the green blob doesn't disappear

[p4lu4r1t]

thanx...

[eadlie24]

doesnt work :(

[mk3987]

Can i fill up this vines with Explosive color swatch like the one u had in an other video ? i mean instead of 1 color use a mask from photoshop and make it grow up !

[UnamedKing]

I'm not sure if this works on every version of flash.. but the hotkey for next frame is ' > ' and previous is ' < '

[MrGbaby123456789]

why not just make a motion tween mask? This seems like a lot of extra work =\

[bossman344]

That's awesome! I'm using SwishMax4 not Flash, but can and did do a very similar thing after seeing your great tute!  THANKS!

[Lady0Heel]

I am looking for sb. who would like to make a flash-animation for me. For creative commons, etc please contact me here.

[DEAProduction]

you saved me 

[musiccuts]

I've tried this 4 times and I'm just getting an animated green blob.

[PhatTrack]

@musiccuts - same man, don't suppose you figured out what's wrong?

[iicaptain123]

@PhatTrack Are you starting with a vector image? I found a nice flourish but as it was a .png i couldn't use it in the same way. Just guessing.

[PhatTrack]

@iicaptain123 -- I got it working in the end, can't remember what i did but it was something simple lol.

[TutorialTimeXD]

awesome tut but what filming program do you use i have hyper cam 2 and its awful sound :P

[WithLoveFromKay]

this didnt work on my black background........ :/

[jamesandaudi]

great job!

[dasecondhalf]

very thorough presentation...thanks a lot

[JetReflex]

awesome tutorial, snappy and precise

[krystian1333]

Is this the same person from IceFlowStudios?

[vedant5]

THANK YOU!!!

[coppurt]

Thanks to you I'm always one step ahead of my classmates!

[sillywally]

Nice one mate

[ghazikankan]

Great tutorial, I was actually able to do this!

[gueycito]

lol its funny when you say "i really wanna make this SPEED up as it gets closer to the end" you say speed in a funny way, sorry man Im high :) its funny

nice tutorial the second is way better than the first I agree and well of course having a wacom can really make the process easier, I used to have the complete figure, select a part delete it f6, select more delete f6, and so on, but the mask+brush way is great! thanks

[o0DeathStrike0o]

You did it wrong!Yes you "tutvid" you did it wrong.

[LLOYD3D]

thanks a lot

[bryanoooopj]

great tutorial...thanks a mil!

[readedMail]

[CastleOfButterflies]

Thank you, I've been searching high and low for something simple like this. Was going to use After Effects, but now I don't have to. Thank you thank you!

[chevelle1258]

[Chingay1208]

[maxmeeuwis138]

[absinto10]

@maxmeeuwis138 He as a special youtube account, you have to contact youtube and negociate the terms to become a youtube associate ^^

[Hirnvorhanden]

as the most things in the world, the most complicated things seems to be made most easy - thanks for dissolving a long term problem for me :-)

[spartanboy44]

Preciate it tut...
