**cries** i suck at flash to dude!!!
i have 2 movies out, they aint to hot, id say the second episode is much better then the first, but hey they still not the best. well it did start out pretty good, why do you make the screen so small though? well shape tweens are a start, try out some frame by frame stuff if your going for the noir look, just look at the timeline, and see the little buttons with boxes in them, put your mouse over the one that onion skins the frames, this way you can draw something each frame, and see the frame before the one your drawing on, this way you can acheive cool stuff like the scrapbook series, if you have any other questions, or projects you want me to look at i might be able to help, just email me at drew2007@fuse.net . and good luck with your next project.
