lol Thanks Khmer

I just saw the Distribute to Frames Tutotial video. That helps ALOT

yeah I fucking bolding italized and underlined that.

Anyways I never really learned fireworks well enough that you could do that... (distribute frames) Fireworks is easier then I thought it was.. .__.; Not that animating good is easy. But I thought you had to do stuff completely frame by frame.

lol daym I feel like a noob. I almost want to try animating in fireworks now e__e. Anyways, only thing I don't know are some of the fireworks hotkeys. How do you flip the character? x: You kinda never said that in the tut o: ... I know flash is Alt+M+T+H but fireworks ain't the same. D:

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Tue Mar 17, 2009 11:53 pm

I *think* I mentioned it before, but I just set custom hotkeys to flip horizontal/vertical and 90º...
Go to keyboard shortcuts, modify, transform...

I kinda skipped through the other tuts and paid more attention to the Distribute to frames one so sorry if you did say it before, And alight I didn't know how to do the keyboard shortcut thing till now. Thanks for everything :D I love you. <3 :D

Jeff, PM him, Flash is unrelated to my thread.

Uhmm... Is it me, or doesn't the walking tut download vid work?
Cuz i want to see it detailed..
If this is put before, don't blame me, I'm way too lazy to read 5 pages...

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 11:31 am

It got removed for lack of downloads, I'll re upload it..., eventually.

LilDipPro · by LilDipPro on Sat Apr 04, 2009 11:36 am

o.o...
that really sux for me then... -_-"

Great tut though, except the test animations didn't come out with a transparant background, like my avatar.

In the Optimization window, there's a color box, click the white with a red line in it and click below "Alpha Transparency"

i got a question about the custom skills
how do you animate them in flash or isnt that possible

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:35 pm

They aren't made for flash but it is possible through a plugin, if I'm not mistaken, ask Jeff or another flash user.

Hallmet · by Hallmet on Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:35 pm

Quick question Gregio do those skills work in just fireworks..? Or is it just me, 'cus i can't get them to work on photoshop (it's just all of the frames on one layer :/)

**Mark** · by **Mark** on Wed Apr 29, 2009 8:22 pm

I have an idea :\
Get the trail of fireworks.
Since fireworks can save also as a psd while retaining all the layers o-o

**Poke** · by **Poke** on Wed Apr 29, 2009 8:32 pm

the what?

edit: oh u meant trial i'm guessing >_>

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Thu Apr 30, 2009 11:27 am

These skills only work for Fireworks and Flash, I've yet to post the Flash method for it here.
I'm joining the bandwagon.
Post the thing you want to know the most, and I'll tut it out.

**Mark** · by **Mark** on Thu Apr 30, 2009 5:15 pm

Crystal · by Crystal on Sun May 17, 2009 5:34 am

Thanks! This was very helpful and I think I'm going to make an animation with it :3

luckybakaa · by luckybakaa on Mon May 18, 2009 2:52 pm

uhmm this is probably a really stupid question
but how do you get to the frame part ><

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Mon May 18, 2009 3:22 pm

Get it to appear?
It should be already there in the right side.
If you can't find it, go to the top menu and go to Windows > Frames

HighJack · by HighJack on Mon May 18, 2009 8:36 pm

Hey Gregio, how do we make a GIF have a transparent background?

**Gregio** · by **Gregio** on Mon May 18, 2009 10:26 pm

I'm working on that, I did some transparency before, but I can't seem to get the settings right anymore.
...Don't use skills. Then set it to alpha transparency and transparent matte.
