Hello all, i have found a great tutorial of classical animation by Doug Compton, a cartoonist and
animator from karmatoons, he had worked in projects like "Bugs Bunny's 50th Birthday Special"
and many other. Check the tutorial here: DRAWING FOR CLASSICAL ANIMATION ...

Hello there! I have experience in flash through art classes in school, and Being a 16 year old
on a low budget, I was curious if there were any flash like programs out there for free? I know free
is pushing it lol... but Im desperate and my creative imagination needs to be released. I'm just
looking for something that has the basic feel and capabilities of flash. Im looking for something
that will be vector based, will animate, and will allow sounds to be added into the background!
Any information would be awesomely appreciated! Thanks much!...

Ok, I am creating a short flash movie and I need some help. My first two frames is my loader, a
basic, "IfFrameLoaded; Goto" type function. The next 9 frames is a small animation that I want to
loop for exactly 20.02 seconds, and then I want to move from that animation and background music,
into another animation and background sound. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to do this. Is
there some way I can count the amount of time that a flash file has been loaded, and then have it
switch to another layer with the other animation and sound on it? A "Goto; Layer 2, Frame ...

I've got a gif that I want to reverse the animation on. Normally, I would do this by hand, but
this gif in particular has about 600 frames, so I'm not so eager. Is there any sort of program
that could do this for me? I use MGI videowave III and Ulead Gif Animator and neither have anything
to reverse the way the frames move, at least nothing that I am aware of. Any help would be
appreciated. Different programs I could use or a different method within the programs I already
have. Thanks!...

Okay, So I'm alright in flash as it is. But I was curious how you made a button move... like a
mouse over effect for instance where something robotic pops out of a button on mouse over. Any
takers?...

Hello folks. I just thought I would share one of my favorite cartoonists that you may not have heard
of before. He is Winsor McCay, who was most famous for his Sunday Paper cartoon "Little Nemo In
Slumberland" back between 1905 up through 1915. Just recently, I've been looking more into some
of the things he did in his life and I bought a dvd with early animation shorts he did, some of
which are amazing even to today's standards. Winsor McCay, to put it simply, did it "the hard
way." Hand drawing hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual pictures to make h...

Does anyone know how to animate hypercubes? (Like the one here .) I want to import it into flash,
so Java isn't really an option for me. I don't have any screen capture software that makes
animation either, so I can't do that....

Mainly the only animations on my site I use are flash animations. They are very clean and don't
show a big X if they don't load right. Plus it is harder for people to still them so they stay
yours....

To start off, I want to say that there are many animation programs for PDAs out there. I have
searched a lot, and I have found the best one out there. I know it costs money, but it is the
absolute best. It is Novii Animator . I use it because it is the ONLY animation program that runs
smoothly on my clie. It has variable animation speed, color fill, text, etc. But, you can only
create 5-frame animations with the demo. Try it out. /biggrin.gif' border='0'
