Well, I am new to both the site and Flash. I've been messing around with Flash for around a week, and I thought it would be nice to join an animating site to see if I can become a better animator. My goal one day would be to animate a nice fight scene.

It's not my actually first Flash, but my first one that's not just a bunch of random tests. I know it isn't very smooth and it goes by very fast, but I'm still happy with it.

Comments and Critique would be appreciated.

Me?

Uh, if I may ask, what's a joint? (Besides the drug, I don't think you meant that.)

lol, what drug is joint? o_O

A joint is when you animate your stick (blue or something) just doing a random combo

Then you give me the flash file, and I add my stick (black or something) and add my stick getting hit or dodging. =D

Oh, uh, no thanks Rabstar. I probably shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff yet.

Thanks for the comments so far. :D

I'm sure it would, it's just that I'd like to be comfortable animating a punch or a kick before I participate in a joint. :/

Yes, I do. However crappy it may be.

If anyone has any other comments about the animation please, do tell. I feel as if all the talking has gone off topic.

Well, work on easing, and even though its quite hard to do in flash, you were a little stiff :P And now that i've been on topic, what type of tablet you use? I just recently got a Wacom Bamboo small.
