Here's my first random awful little attempt at animation. If I can figure out how to do this better and faster, I may do some animated political cartoons soonish. Click to view:

Pretty! Email me with any Flash questions you have and I'll endeavor to answer: scott at batemania dot com.

thanks Scott! I most likely will have questions, Masheka knows some Flash but he trained on a much earlier version than we have (we have 8). what version do you use?

Something much earlier than 8. FlashMX...? I'll be upgrading in the new year, I'm sure.

MX is right before 8. There is now CS3, which supposedly has fancy new features or something.

Here's a question--do you use painstaking lip-sync sound by sound (i.e. a different mouth shape for each sound) or do you fake lip-sync by having the mouths cycle through a bunch of different shapes and just close when a person isn't talking? Lip-sync seems like a hell of a lot of work...

That actually made me laugh out loud. Pretty good for your first!
