I have Flash 8, and I know how everything works (thanks Hyun). The only thing is, I need to know how you make the onion park of the stick man appear so you can go onto the next frame. Is it F8 (or at least one of the F keys), or something else? Period moves to the next frame, but you need to set the frames, I just need the onion setting to work so I don't feel so weird moving on the next part of the anim. My stick stays black like the original, so I guess that's wrong. And with a sword, do you take that off of the onion to put it on the next frame.. or what? If you can help me, that would be nice so I can understand the last part of my animation. - Kyu.

You put a sword on a separate layer.
To toggle on onion skin


The bracket thing on top deides how much the onion skin shows.

Oh, how silly of me.. I probably couldn't remember from the tutorial, but thanks anyways AA.

This still isn't working. The sword is in the stick's hand, I set the frames.. I'm probably doing that wrong and maybe that's why the onion won't show up.But still. I watch the sword tutorial but the onion setting isn't working anyways. Someone please explain how the frames work so the onion setting can work again.

Its f7 that u need to use to get BLANK KEY FRAMES.
f6 is for inserting keyframe- to make the same thing come over again

use f7 , click the onion skin button as shown, make another layer for sword .
for the sword, make it as a symbol.click f6 to make it continue towards ur key frames.move it to desired position matching ur stickfigure.



hope that helped :)
