hello.. i'm doing a flash project for a sign company and we need to
have a "pedestrian crossing" guy actually walk across the screen..
i'm pretty new to flash and 2d animation in general so this is turning
out to be a bit dificult. actually i've got a working animation. i
downloaded a frame by frame jpg of a girl walking in profile and
simply traced out my characters limbs for every other step and then
shape tweened it. the character moves very realistically but he moves
across the screen too fast given his number and length of steps. i
had to use shape hints for each shape but when i try and move the
character as a whole, the shape hints stay put and my shapes get all
screwed up. i sorta feel like i've attached this problem the brute
force way and i'm sure theres a better way.. if anyone would mind me
sending them the fla file to take a look at how i've done this i'd
appreciate it very much.. thanks
john
