    Yes, it helped me so that i can make a cartoon band!! Thanks

    I double clicked on my symbol and animated that way, what’s that? Please help.

    Like one hand i double clicked on and it brought up what i think is the symbol editing. This has a Timeline so i animated in here. then i went back to stage and just animated like that. Is that ok?

    he’s missing a finger

    They use 4 fingers mostly in cartoons.
    Homer Simpson has 4 too, and Peter from Family guy has 4 too.
    But i agree with this character it looks really obvious.

    Thanks for the video !

    @MegaTennisking you need to draw something and the highlight it and press f8, usually choosing graphic is the best choice, unless you want to add a filter. then you should choose movie clip

    @shithead364519468326 what do you mean when you say ” make pictures ” are you talking about editing them? if you want to do that you need to import the pictures into flash, but if all you want to do is edit pictures you would probably be better off getting photo-shop. Photo shop was made to edit pictures, flash is mainly for making animations and designing websites
