Understanding Keyframes Tutorial

Understanding Keyframes in KM (http://www.bretlanius.com/flash/keyframestweens.html)

Note: According to Necromanthis using labled keyframes is not reccomended. Of course the level of complexity in my work the global performance drop is not noticeable.

I wish I could have all tutorials like this or links to such tutorials available in one place.

Nice job Bret!

There seems to be some confusion as I know from the minute I became a Koolmoves user the directives in various posts were for us NOT to use numbered frames. I assumed this was specific to Koolmoves since my Flash and Swish easily use either numbered or named frames fine.

My entire cms is Koolmoves and I can count the number of named frames on 2 hands so if indexing is a problem for any given movie, that movie has to have a boatload of named frames.

Has this directive changed since the 5.1+ versions and we can rely on both methods?

Chris: Apparently you can rely on the number you just have to account for the tween frames. with 6 tweens as a default Frame 2 is the 8th frame, frame 3 is the what 15th?. It's consistent as I think the issue with KM adding a frame at the head of a movie is no longer the case.

Bob: Why not make a sticky thread were we can post links to tutorials. Also mine will stary where they are you are welcome to link to them. Would it be helpfull if I post a master page that lists the tutorials? Only have 3 so far. I tend to do them as I see questions raised.(when I can answer them)

Hey Chris check your link in your sig http://sandbox.blogdns.com/backend.php times out when I try it.

Great Job Bret-I can't tell you how helpful those Tuts are for a visual learner like me. Keep m comin!

[Bob Hartzell]

A single page that I can link to would be very helpful.

Nothing has changed in KoolMoves regarding frames.

I watched this videos. I didn't ever think of adding motion script to a button like you did. Prettynice. And I guess that you are a mac user from looking at the tuts.

I posted the link on our support page.

If any one else has a tutorial collection, I would like to link to it.
