Hey! Brand new to Kirupa. ^^ *waves*
I'm a total newbie-beginner-novice-neophyte to Flash, and I'm trying to make a side-scroller game for class. Orz. -_-
So! I know I have to make a character. And I want him to be able to do 3 things, run (to the right only, by hitting the right arrow), stop ('resting' stance, releasing the right arrow), and jump (by hitting spacebar). Very simple. So this means I need to animate him doing all three things.
Do I make separate Flash files of each animation? or do I do each one in different layers in the same file? Or in separate frames?!
Just basically, where do I start. XD How do I go about animating him at the 3 different stages? (I'm going to be using stop motion to draw him by hand)
After animating him, I'm assuming I convert them to symbols and import them into my game file?
Thanks much, Kirupaaaa! <3
Oh, and just for kicks, here's a little sketch I've done of the hero running: http://web.art.fsu.edu:8080/courses/mundy/2010s_web1/spencer/final_project/fox.swf
