  13. anatete1 says:

  14. suyoplive says:

  16. [..YouTube..] helped A LOT!! thanks dude!! youre really good at this, cheers”

  17. cheeto37 says:

    [..YouTube..] Your making it so much more comlicated then it needs to be

  18. Melazee01 says:

    [..YouTube..] @Claymore2408 My way around that would be to copy the background, and place the duplicate right next to the original. Then, tween both of them like normal, but make sure that the end of the tween ends up in the exact same spot on the duplicate as it was at the beginning on the original. This will create a seemless effect. Kinda hard to explain, I hope I explained it well enough, haha XD

  19. uchiha203 says:

    [..YouTube..] just a question guys, i have a weird problem here.why cant i use the classic tween? why is it not clickable?Im sure i did what he did in the vid and still its not available. any answer guys? please i really need answer thanks :)

  20. 000jinx says:

    [..YouTube..] @Claymore2408 that’s exactly what i would want to know aswell :)

  21. DarkJak143 says:

    [..YouTube..] 4 people have this a thumbs down before watching.

  22. Claymore2408 says:

    [..YouTube..] how do i make the background loop? so it continiously plays with out the blinking affect comes so people can check where the error is. I’m trying to make a background for a scrolling game where it has to loop.

  23. [..YouTube..] that road looks dangerous to walk on..it’s all rocky o.o

  24. Amr says:

    It is so simple and great
    Thanks

  25. [..YouTube..] @shadowdachampionpony you just have to delete the background things you dont want

  26. [..YouTube..] Thankyou this was so helpful but I have a question… Or rather a problem :P Okay, Im new to flash so bear with me! Ive finished it all but when I go to save it it saves the extra background aswell – as in the stuff thats off canvas… How do you get it to save purely what is on the canvas??? Thanks, champ. x

  27. mobabur94 says:

  32. Mooncowsback says:

So i want to thank you for doing this, you are a true dojo master of flash. With that being said…. holy fucking christ is your voice annoying. sorry, but ive been hearing it alot lately.

  44. krystledana says:

    [..YouTube..] thank u :P

  45. [..YouTube..] @itsChrisLife he has made animations, alot of them based on all the tutorials, dickhead wanker

  46. Myke1023 says:

    [..YouTube..] I can do this, but when I click test movie, it shows the full background at its full length, and not the usual size of the white canvas, how can I fix this, or will it not be a problem once i export the animation to a file type.

  47. itsChrisLife says:

    [..YouTube..] MAKE AN ANIMATION! NOT A TUTORIAL,ANIMATION!!! :D

  48. [..YouTube..] ty vm but can you make another animation plz :) i always look foward to them

  49. [..YouTube..] You could of just said to create a path out of the camera, drag it, and create classic tweens but whatever.

  50. morg2k999 says:

    [..YouTube..] Great tutorial ive been wondering how to do that for a while now but same asprizna123 when i make a character in another flsh file i dont know how to put him into oter flash files

  51. [..YouTube..] @DaCukieMonsta For me, it’s no, my primary school got no mac but windows, and also my secondary school.I bet there will be more answer of no to this questionFor sure

  52. [..YouTube..] @badmonkeyballplayer more people using windows becouse macs are expensive. and yes, in my school we have only macs, 14 emacs g4 and 8 imacs g5

  53. MrJesus2You says:

    [..YouTube..] @PurpleConspiracy not everybody knows how to do this stuff. hes just trying to help.

  54. prizna123 says:

    [..YouTube..] Great Tutorial, could you possibly make a tutorial on how to go about bringing a character that has already been assigned armatures from one flash file into another flash file, or possibly how to add multiple animations to a character like talking (moving mouth) blinking and walking, I understand how to do them seperately but am having trouble adding all three animations to the one character together.

  55. [..YouTube..] ……..Thats it? all you did was slightly scroll a background. I figured that out when I was 11….. This was a terrible tutorial…. I at least thought it would be a repeating scrolling background. Fail

  56. DirectorToby says:

    [..YouTube..] Your videos are so god damn helpful! Its like having a little animation tutorial bible here, its very much appreciated – thanks a lot for making them

  57. MrChic02 says:

    [..YouTube..] At the 9:26, how did you make the frames go upto over 100?

  58. [..YouTube..] @DaCukieMonsta but normally more people are using windows than using macMaybe those guys who make flash games are using macBut those are experts, they don’t need these simple tutorialBesides, does your school contains more mac than windows?

  59. [..YouTube..] @badmonkeyballplayer but mac is more compatible, faster and easier to use so usually all animators and graphic editors uses mac

  60. myotubehelp says:

    [..YouTube..] ty so much its very help to me!

  61. [..YouTube..] I think it’s simpleBTW, why you use Mac, not windows? I think windows is more commonLike what I said, I would like to learn as1.0&2.0or maybe as3.0
