03c - Animating GoAnimate Stick Figures, Tweens and Action Script

In this tutorial I show you how to recreate a GoAnimate Stick figure character in order to create your own animated custom movements with Koolmoves. In the process you'll learn about the role of 'tweens' and put the tiniest of nicks into learning action script so you can stop your animation from continuously looping.

NB: Apologies for the spelling mistake in the video's title screen (which is reproduced across all three parts of this tutorial. It was late when I finished editing and I just don't see the value in going through nearly nine hours of video processing just for a spelling mistake.

@deltoyacom - Yes it could - is the short answer. I believe you could isolate say, just an animated facial expression (perhaps a generic one) that you could then save to your library of saved 'symbols' (in this case animated faces) and apply them to any character you wanted to use that face. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can come up with in the way of a tutorial. Learning how to save custom movie clips that you could reuse would definitely be useful to learn.

@etourist2 I have seen you used movie clips inside movie clips, when you made a tutorial showing the background used at your escape animation. Could that be used, for example, to make different face expressions for a character? And how would we do that?

@deltoyacom - Glad to hear you found it to be clear and well explained. I think with the tutorials I've done there's enough to give anybody a good start with creating props and characters for GoAnimate with Koolmoves. Is there anything you'd like to see me cover as a tutorial with Koolmoves that I haven't really shown already?

This series was outstanding. Everything was very clear and well explained. Even if I had some notion of Koolmoves before you opened my eyes to some very interesting perspectives. Thanks for this tutorials!
