WK 4 Practical Experience: FLASH (post #2)

BONES...

I am eager to use Flash to create my own animations because in learning how to create bone system using the lynda.com exercises I dislocated this hula girl's arm several times in trying to create the animation trying to make her wave.  The instructor kept saying, "this is extremely easy from this point..." which was a bad sign for me.  I was trying to create the hinging effect, but I kept removing her arm.  It turned out that at first I was not deselecting the bone tool by selecting the selection tool and then I was not pressing F5 at the appropriate frame.  I think I've got it now, but I can say for sure that I will definitely need to revisit the earlier tutorials on merge and object drawing when starting with my own images.
