Re: FLASH: Animation

[Michael@BTW]

>From my reading of this your dealing with Flash's method of controlling

objects in the timeline rather than drawing techniques? In that case, yeah,

Flash is pretty lame at animating multiple connected objects (ie standard

child-parent animation as seen in most other animation programs). If that is

the case, I'd take a look at Adobe's Livemotion and/or Lostmarble's Moho

(http://www.lostmarble.com/moho.html), both of which allow for more standard

animation techniques (hierarchical timeline, moho even has bones!) and

output to swf.


Hopefully, child-parent object linking, joints, and the ability to aninmate

childed objects on the main timeline will be added to F5, I've requested it

anyway...
