i tried that, but it only got me confused :Sweating:

Draw a stickman and keep redrawing it for like 30 frames, just standing there, that should be easy to stay consitent, then try him walking or slideing across the room, and stay on size purely, you just gotta remember everything lengths.

Or

Use the grid, make a head for your stick, and see how many squares the stick covers while just standing there, now make him walk, and keep the grid around, & don't let him go above or below the grid by too much.

In flash, when making a stick animation, do i want to achor the onion skin to the first frame? Or the last?

ok so i just got flash and the only way i can animate is if i redraw the guys every frame to move them could you tell me another way to move them and animate without constantly redrawing ?

NO, that should be enough. Don't even try motion tweening.

well then how can i keep the figures from changing size? they always end up larger or smaller then before.

grid, or u can try as hard as u can.
very little resizing is ok.

k, I know this is very basic and I really sound like a nub, but I see these really good stick figure flash animations, but have no clue how to do that, I only know how to do ones with drawing each frame and they turn out terrible, can u give me the link on how to make stickfigure animations/games with Adobe Flash, it would be appreciated

just keep doing it frame by frame and soon you'll get better
practice practice practice

Well you could try using an embeded animation, however I find this less accurate than frame by frame animation..... just expirement with different styles of animating and the most important thing you could ever do: [SIZE="6"]PRACTICE!!!![/SIZE] :Happy:

why i cant erase some stuffs? and how i can put layer behind or front of something?

Quote from Trypheon

Anything you like.
Try animating a stick walking, or running, doing jumps and stuff. The basics.
Look up some tutorials in the tutorial section.



1.We use onion skins, it's a little button in flash 2nd one next to the delete layer button.

2. Yes, Most of us redraw the stick everytime. I myself put the head in a graphic so it doesn't change size.

so I got a little better at flash, and I was wondering how to do bakground movement

yo- i know i might be "unqualified" to say this (mezanub) by to keep from resizing i just make a head then make it a symbol (F8) then drag it from my library to my animation and always turn on the onion skin it really helps and remember if he bends his legs or hunches over he moves down a bit

so i am better than most when they start buts i still nub i used both easytoon and pivot for awhile but i am new to flash and i find it easier to use!! i luvs it

but then again i had a good "mentor"

If you make your background on a different layer behind where the action is taking place, it shouldn't be too hard. Just move/redraw the parts you want...
