Description If it doesn't load right, hitting refresh then waiting a few seconds might work.

Visually, it sucks. But it gets its point across. (hopefully)

I don't know how to make preloaders, so if it doesn't load right I'm sorry. I spend a whole lot of time on it, and it turned out looking stupid but I hope it's informative. Please tell me about any spelling errors, or if anything has been left out. Oh, and tell me if everything makes sense, or if it's impossible to understand. I'm sorry about the places where the text and images get fuzzy, I don't know how to fix it. I really don't know that much about flash. At all. So if nothing else, at least I got some practice.

btw, in case you're wondering about all "teh awesom" fonts, I got them at DA font, which is a cool site for free fonts . I like sitting there and looking for the swirly ones.

oh, I forgot, if you want a trial of Ulead Gif Animator 5 you can get it Here

Nice job on the tutorial. I'm glad you took the time to explain everything (including the saving files bit). It saves the program-illiterate a lot of headaches. *Points to self* ^_^; I'm inspired enough to try one of my own these days; it looks like fun.

Keep up the good work with your emoticons.

Nice thing but I think I'll keep drawing my emote frames separately in MS Paint and using Ulead only to put them into an animation - in my case it's much easier and quicker way.

... gee, I really thought there is some magically mysterious and surprisingly easy way of shading emotes - and now I see it's just adding the dots of many colours ...

I think you're being a little hard on yourself - visually it does everything it needs to, it's neat and easy to follow - and as for the expression 'blinking seizure-causing animation of joy' . . .

All in all a worthwhile useful and amusing tutorial presentation - I think you should be very proud of it.

Nice work there.
Definately needs a preloader though. You start it and unless it's fully loaded you just get white pages instead of the different tutorial pages.
But otherwise, very nice work.

darkmoon3636 In reply to Narfmaster [2005-04-01 17:26:26 +0000 UTC]

I know nothing about flash. I had to put everthing on the root menu because I couldn't figure out how to make the buttons link to something in a movie clip, so even if I did manage to make a preloader that works it'd mess up the timing of everything. Next time I'll try to figure them out though.

Narfmaster In reply to darkmoon3636 [2005-04-02 12:19:45 +0000 UTC]

Ah right...well it's fairly easy to work out with all the scripts etc because of all the help it gives you.
Good luck if you make something else in flash.
