Flash CS4 Bones Tutorial Part 2

[ragnarock86]

Just so I'm completely sure on this, each graphic HAS to be a "movie clip" and it won't work if u convert it to a graphic symbol?

[GenzorX]

To turn png to movie clips go to modify -convert to symbols. I believe cs5 does it automatically.

[GenzorX]

Yea glad someone else discovered pivot points. The bones were driving me nuts until I started using shapes as pivot points. Awesome tutorial!

Hi, Thanks for the tute.

At 2:18 you mentioned that it's not possible to put bones in unless each piece is a movieclip; how do you turn each piece into a movieclip in CS4?

Many Thanks.

This is the worst tutorial I've ever seen.

[crappyanimationsinc]

where did you find the image?

[MightySheep25]

wish you could be more specific about what a movie clip is and how you make each part a movie clip

[DTMidian]

A movie clip is a symbol. There are 3 types of symbols, Graphic, Button and Movie Clip. A graphic is a symbol that you can modify and animate within a scene. A button is just that, a button. A movie clip is kind of like a graphic symbol, except you can group graphics inside a movie clip and animate them within that clip, and then modify the clip externally in the scene without have to modify each individual graphic. That's the easiest way I can think to explain.

[anerio4321]

convert to a movie clip or graphic, press F8

[nooshax1]

this is actually from muataz23 but you have to right click on the picture and press break apart and thats it

[vandeman10]

You can make it easier. Just save it as a psd and add that to the stage. then you can select the layers you need and convert them to movie clips instantly. Hope this helps ;)

[vjsophie]

[DobleMecha]

U should try turning each part of the body into a movie clip, then u can select them all and distribute them to different layer.

[Zielak6969]

About the layers, Flash cs3 could just open psd file without loosing any layers so you don't need to use that Pcs4 script.

[moldero]

yup, its pretty rad!
