ok

1) Make your sticks a tad bit taller, and smoothe them by selecting all of it and then right clicking to bring up th menu and click smooth,

2) work on some movements, noticing that your second kick made him just float across the screen, you used to do pivot correct?, well, try something similar, just with brush

3)have anticipation, giving time for each movement and action to go with by showing that it's about to happen, easing helps with this also, other than that, it should look decent =)

oh wow, maybe borderline med, but still, try a regular style, that one is kind of hard to work with, i use pencil, it has the line/brush style to it, but, try a running one, each glide should take about seven frames, i can tutor you if you want, just to show how i do some stuff, like send you the .fla's and stuff, it will help, lol

I only use onion skin, and the brush tool.
Is that better than low beginner?

@Devour-well, the stick is smoother, but try something like running, walking and jumping like gyhodon did, when you have those down, combos come fast as your just adding punches as your guy is walking or running, and the jumping will help on those jumping kicks, try makin the body not so big, and the legs long, not too long bu long, right now he is a bit pudgy, haha
@gyohdon- well, you have the right idea, actually the run looked quite nice, but smoothen your sticks and then instead of drawing the head, get the circle tool and make a head of decent size, and make it into a movie clip then add the head to your guy, but so far your getting a tad better, working with basics and sucu

Your sticks are wobbly and I think that the stick is resizing himself

Which fool pays for it? Hmm? Not many at SPP do, if any. Us experienced computer veterans find our own, simple yet comlicated to a noob ways around it. *Hint* Ever heard of bit torrent?

Comments, not noob speak.

Nobody really cares about what you have to say about flash. And dont talk about torrents, that gets you banned.

Edit: http://www.swfme.com/view/1076662 Heres the animation with a faster frame rate.
