Hi,

If you go about making a character speak the way in which you have done, it will look very akward and unnatural. Whenever a character has to speak, its best to do frame-by-frame animation. Dont worry, form mouth movements you need to use a few basic shapes called "phonemes". Of course its a lot of hard work also....but worth the effort.

Check out Bill Turner's books on Flash animations & Games.
