Fireworks 8/CS3 Tutorial

Yes you are.

So is the Common Library just these random things collected? Or can you add to it? I watched some tutorial thing that said only that.

The Common Library is used for easy to reach sprites.
Such as your character. The rest of the sprites could just be opened up in folders and dragged into Fireworks. :P

To insert sprites, just go to
C:\Documents and Settings\(USER)\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS3\Common Library

Delete whatever is there if you want to (I did) then pasted your sprites there. You can have folders of sprites, but not folders of folders of sprites. (A folder within a folder)

Sidenote:
Stick to frame speed 7.
9 turns out to be too slow for most things (even though I liked it). Like mobs.

very nice tut :D
But how do you get those elemental attacks
they look pretty nice :P

wow nice tut o-o
i think i kno y atlast flash was created n fameous cuz of its 'motion tween'

XP

Nice Tut, I really need that.

gregio, dude, som of your explanatory images are missing
anyways, cool tut

Yeah, my bandwidth's exploded again.
I'll fix my maps to tinypic later, that'll spare my bandwidth.

Im gonna try fireworks again im lacking ideas using Flash

Fireworks owns, great decision Sonic.

nice tutorial gregio

will this tut help on CS4

I have no idea.
It says Fireworks 8/CS3 tutorial, so it should be obvious that I haven't tried CS4.

Im trying out fireworks and its going fine but sometimes when i and a new frame and put my character on it that character now appears on all the frames i have used how do i stop it?

Nvm for some reason the sprite went into my background layer

What's up with that girl on your photobucket account, Gregio? ^^

Ontopic: Good job, might consider using fireworks.

Nice tutorial This helps XD
Btw whats the writing called in ur tutorial pics?

The link is dead for the Walking Tutorial Video D:

how am i sposed to use the custom skills u have posted there?
there's just 1 still image of each skill

The skills only work for Fireworks.

ya thats wat i use =D
and wen i open them in firworks, no frames......

They're not in frames >_>
You must be the most stupid Fireworks user ever.
Check the layers.
Check my tutorial.
Distribute to frames, etc...
LEARN TO READ FOR GOD'S SAKE.

um ty jerk O.o
nice ppl skillz, just asked for a lil help =3
learn some manners >.>
plus it doesnt even say how to use ur skills in ur tut so check again flamer =3

Because it's obvious enough and all it takes is a glance at the layers' tab.
And yeah, I'm a flamer, now shut up.
I've had many people learning Fireworks and none of them had any difficulty figuring out the skills.

well im very sry
didnt look and i apologize for bothering u O.o
future advice(calm down) b a lil nicer
all that extra stuff isnt necessary =3

Coming this friday night or sunday:
- Map making tut.
- Animating via Distribute to Frames (some minutes will be dedicated to skills)
- Animating "manually".
- Beefed up version of Walking tutorial.

They'll all be downloadable video files. I'll try to put it on youtube if possible.
