RE: FLASH: A word about tutorials

[Timothy B Palmer-Benson]

Hi Michael:


I tried this tutorial several weeks ago, but since you posted it, I thought

I would try it again.

Here are some comments:


Your tutorial is well written, especially at the beginning. I thought, oh

yes, this is going to be easy! :) but no...I ran immediately into some

problems, even though I was careful to follow the instructions.



After drawing the triangle, you say to move it to the left. I drew my

triangle on the left so I  moved it towards center stage. You do not mention

that the triangle takes on a grey mesh appearance because it is selected. I

was alarmed by this the first time until I read a little elsewhere.

Initially I thought it was a bug in my video card or in the software (you

never know with computers!)


After putting in the second key frame and getting the triangle to move, my

screen displays the rather quick and jerky motion of the triangle ( yes I

know it is meant to be this way) but after it makes its move the timeline

moves off the key frame and the triangle takes on the "selected look" again.

Should I ignore this?


After making the triangle a symbol for the library, and seeing the little

triangle icon therein,  the screen flashes, the triangle disappears and I am

left with a tiny "x" in the center of the page. Also at this point I do not

see my key frames, so I am stuck! There is no sixth frame to click upon.

Here's a simple introductory tutorial I wrote for Webmonkey:

A more advanced one is on the works.
