Why
You say yourself, 'this is the BASICS'. Ie. anyone with half an ounce of intelligence could figure out how to animate fire - and better than that mind you. (It's better if the 'slithers' of fire sorta bubble up in about 4 frames, rather than jumping side to side). I was thinking, oh cool I'll learn how to animate really sexy fire, but no! You should really teach how to use the mouse and open Flash first, that's about the level of this. Come on man!
im sorry you feel that way....on the contrary i couldn't give a shit
Cool
This is a nice bit of actionscripting right here, that little follow - thingy is a cool feature.
Good stuff!
Thank you dude! It's good to see that you liked it.
Not so good
I don't think this is a very good tutorial at all; like mklijnstra said hiding the mouse then not showing it afterwards really shows a lack of effort on the authors part. Also the code for the clip could have been done in a copyable text box instead of writing 'copy this'. And the text is too hard to read, half the time it goes uncomfortably close to the sides so it is not good to read. That and you probably copied the tutorial that comes with Flash in a half-assed fashion.
By all means do more tutorials but make sure you know what the hell you're doing before you do it - and do something more useful, like randomly placing duplicated movie clips or something.
First off thank you for your input, all of you. I did not copy the pre-made flash one, and simply Edited it. I was curious how to make it, so I asked my friend (The man who created Nazi Assault) and he told me. So I thought that "noobs" like me, should have a tutorial. I know that the mouse dissapears and it was my first time using the cursor. And could you tell me how to make the text copyable? I will revise this, If i tdoesn't get deleted before, when I know how to make the mouse come back and the text copyable. So thank you
I'm not putting my lips on that.
