[FerociousApplesauce]

Question! When i try to use the paint bucket to color in something, It doesnt color it in, nomatter what color it is! >.<

[WinterDJ40]

@FerociousApplesauce Hmm. Be sure to draw on the same layer. And the outline have to be drawn with a brush.. or a line.. But try it with the brush.

[FerociousApplesauce]

@WinterDJ40 Ive tried that, But it only lets me color the outline. D':

[WinterDJ40]

@FerociousApplesauce Have you tried clicking INSIDE the thing you're coloring? :p

[FerociousApplesauce]

@WinterDJ40 Yes, Its just not working for me..

[WinterDJ40]

@FerociousApplesauce I have no idea what to do, then :/ Try googling it! :D

[WinterDJ40]

@umbreonloverify You see the little text under the frames where it says: 12.00 fps. double click it, and change it there;)

[arnes4]

It's NOT working



[TheDarkAgent5005]

@arnes4

it does work good thing they put the next frame button for F6 thats my only button that does nothing ^^ (that was random)

[Pivot7760]

@arnes4  its f7

[xxatnight]

@Pivot7760 for some reason when i press f7 it wont show the previous drawing help? thx in advance

[WinterDJ40]

@xxatnight I have answered this question so many times before-,- ONION SKIN!!

[Gamerboy136]

thanks

[alennna]

wow it worked for me, thank you! , but in my case when i press F6 i do not see the shadow figure that i drew on my previous frame. i wish i was the previous movement in a shadowy form too ... do you know what do i have to adjust to achieve that? Thank you for your time!

[Fanisliverpool1892]

@alennna

press f7 instead of f6 cause f6 copying the current frame into the other frames but clicking f7 you can make a bland frame and by pressing the onion skin you can view your animation before in a shadow so you can know where to draw next

[Unker47]

Why my stickman doesn't be grey? :(

[AQWPumpking]

i tried pressing enter but i wasnt able to see my movie HELPPP!!

[WinterDJ40]

@AQWPumpking Try clicking "File" then I would beleive it was something you could click to view it there. Try looking around at the buttons on the top;)

[AQWPumpking]

how do i play my movie?

[TheNorwayFighter]

@AQWPumpking u press enter or ctrl+enter to play movie

[dzou131]

when i make a new frame, it doesnt show a shadow of the old one!

[WinterDJ40]

@dzou131 May you please read some of the last comments? If you see at 0:14 , you'll se an annonation, this will point directly to the button you have to click. The second button from the left.

[dzou131]

when i press f6, it doesnt show me the shadow of the last frame

It's nice to hear that you enjoy animation!

[FiguresStickFigures]

[WinterDJ40]

Alright! Just remember to have fun :D

[FiguresStickFigures]

i gotta go back to flash 8 now cuz cs4 takes up way too much space

[WinterDJ40]

Can't you just buy an external harddrive?

[FiguresStickFigures]

i just got my laptop so i dont really feel like it although i gotta send over my itunes to my laptop -_- *sarcastically* i can't wait!!!

[WinterDJ40]

[L0L888L0L]

i need f7

[pinkytm1]

Cool.

[TheNeoFighter]

thnx.. I know it now xD

[HelloDailor]

i have a mac, and i don't know what button i have to press to get a new frame

[WinterDJ40]

if "F6" don't work, try click the "insert" button on the top bar. Then click "insert keyframe" ;-D

[KibitokaiChronicles]

How do u Keep the Picture On the next frame so i can change just one part per frame? Ex: I drew a person, and i want him to blink in the next frame, Do i have to draw him all over JUST to make him BLINK?!

[WinterDJ40]

Hey! If you just want him to blink, you don't create motion tween.. you see at: 0:11, don't right click and create motion tween:D

[MiniManFLASH]

noo

better is when u press only F7 xDD

[WinterDJ40]

ok, thanks:) I'm not an expert you know;) but thanks, i will remember it=)

[Bartsimpson360]

someone plz respond cuz the shadow that shows the previous frame doesnt show. and it would help me alot plz someone reply quickly

[WinterDJ40]

Did you remember to click on the onion skin button? look at 0:18 at the little black arrow ;-)

[XRamenLovinKitsuneX]

THANK YOU! 5 stars~ This helped me alot! :D

[WinterDJ40]

I am glad it helped you : )

[JC919X]

Ill subscribe if you give me the name of the song

[WinterDJ40]

The name of the song is in the description. it's one of thoose song that youtube let you use in your video;) I picked them from youtube when i made this video

[ShyGuysBro]

How do you change the fps?

[WinterDJ40]

double click the "12 fps" button beside the onion skin button and you will see a button the says "frame rate" and just type in how many fps you want=)

[ShyGuysBro]

Thanks. :D

[ehdhFilms]

whats does tweet motion do?

[WinterDJ40]

If you mean "Motion Tween", it makes the picture you have drawn, not the same in the framework forward. Then you wouldn't have to rub it out and draw it again, I think=)

[ehdhFilms]

so its like copying the first frame you drawn pasting it and everything looks the same but for example the head is bigger and the body is smaller or shorter?

[WinterDJ40]

Neeooo=) Animating without motion tween, then you just copy the figure to the next frame. But if you animate with motion tween, you have to draw the figure again i think;)

[ehdhFilms]

is that a yes or a no? so whats the difference i don't understand

or you can just explain this in your other post  framework forward.

[WinterDJ40]

it's a no. with motion tween the program rub it out for you. without motion tween you have to rub it out yourself. (when you press f6) in a way.. it's kinda hard to explain for me

[PrincesTomboy]

uh, i dont have the thing on teh right side with the eraser and stuff on it =O help?

[WinterDJ40]

You might have to open it. I think you must click th "window" button on the top of the screen or somthing. I'm not completly sure but try click alittle around=) By the way, wha version of the program do you have?
