Hey guys, I haven't animated for over a year, and have forgotten some things, and am just asking a few questions :)

1: What would be a good way to stop re sizing? When I do animations sometimes the stickmen get taller/shorter, and so do certain limbs :p

2: I can't seem to do reactions very well, for fights. And can't find any tutorials on it :p Any tips?

3: What's the best tablet for a price around £30 to £50? Could go a little higher I guess.

4: How do I upload flash animations to youtube? I tried once, but the VCam didn't work, you could just see a box move, and it was really low quality.

Thanks :)

1: Animate using either guide-lines or the grid tool.
2: I dunno.
3: I'm saving for one that's about 100/150, dunno if that's too much though, how much would you spent?
4: Export as .swf?

And 100/150 might be a bit much for me. The limit is probably £60 or £70? (Not sure how many dollars that is).
And does youtube support swf files?

Thanks a lot :)

Youtube does not support SWF files, however sites like:
http://www.fileize.com/
http://truploader.com/
http://www.newgrounds.com/
do accept this format.

I'm not sure really how to get flash onto youtube myself, I'll be doing experimentation's :3

Hyun has a good video on converting swf's for youtube here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CahN...cJzeJgsDJxcwsA
You can export to avi or something similar for free using flash, but it will lag alot (especially if it's long).

Ok thanks guys :) or maybe I'll have to resort to recording them with traps or something if it's too long and laggy :p
Thanks a lot by the way :)

Terkoiz has several tutorials on reactions on his YouTube channel
