Nice tutorial. Here’s a time-saver: If you convert the Anchor layer to a motion guide, you don’t have to change the opacity of the graphic, which makes future editing much easier. You’ll still get the animation and the anchors won’t be visible in the final swf file. It will also prevent your canvas from becoming larger than it needs to be to accommodate the invisible graphics. Hope this helps!
wow this site is in my favorite
thanks green
Very nice, thank you! I feel much better about type in Flash, now. I’ve just starting learning Flash, so I’ve been a coward and have been importing type to the stage from Illustrator, rather than using the type tool in Flash. The tutorial also took some of the mystery out of the bones tool – thanks.
Another great tutorial from Tom!
That IK with text is great, especially that trick with setting alpha for objects down to 0%…. great!
