How do you get the flash canvas to be embedded into the interface like that? Mine is just a window and uses scroll bars which is annoying because the screen keeps extending when i draw beyond the boarders. Im using flash CS5.5

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial, this is exactly what I needed. Are you planning to make a composting tutorial in which you bring the animations into After Effects?

[Base14Productions]

We have a tutorial that covers that; it's called "2D Animation Compositing in Adobe After Effects"

[nwafefe]

could you talk/explain more about the spacing in some of the basic movement

[Base14Productions]

Do a web search for "animation inbetweening" and I think you'll find some good sources hat go into more detail on this.
