That "Thing": First Flash Movie (Still a newb)

First Flash Movie (Still a newb)

My first flash movie. The loading and quality were all messed up. I drew everything in MS Paint and compiled it all in Flash. I was a newb..and didn't know what I was doing. For the most part...people didn't know what to think of it, mostly because they were not familiar with the characters.

The size difference is really not that big. The Animated Gif version of this movie was 384KB while the Flash version was 362KB.
Also with Flash I can add sounds. I'll get better.

Rumor has it that Flash loads faster. I wouldn't know since I have DSL.; 7:05 AM

And I am so far beyond dial-up that phone lines cannot harm me. I am impervious to statistics and all forms of standardization.; 7:55 AM

I felt like the animation was more fluid this time, and sound would be nice. I didn't even have my speaker turned up when I watched this (all the kids are asleep still). Was there sound on this one?

Guess I'll find out next time I try it.

BTW - my boys loved that you used Strongbad in your last one. :-); 8:09 AM
Bathroom Hippo said...: Flash is in the lead. No there's no sound in this one...but in the future I will use sound...prob not my own voice...like the HomeStarRunner guy. I'm not that brave!

I do have a few 56k viewers which I am looking out for. Glad your family liked my Strongbad cartoon.; 8:16 AM
