    Need help with making animation

    Before I asked how would i make a man walk across the screen, moving his legs. I undertstand how to make it frame-by-frame now but is there any other ways to do it? Such as tweening, shape tweening? Also, i didn't quite understand how to make the person moving it's own movie clip, if you get what i'm saying.

    Also, what if i wanted to make the symbol do 2 things. Such as walking moving his legs, and moving his arms. Would i have to do all of this by frame-by-frame?
    Thanks for the help guys. thanks in advance. cyaz

    Frame by frame is really the only way to do it convincingly.

    But once you've converted all the body parts to symbols. And edited the rotation points. you'd need to have all elements on different layers. Then use some tweening to rotate/move the limbs. The problem getts into moving teh parts in conjuction with the rest of the body. IE the hand->elbow->shoulder->body

    I've found that you need to key frame every 3rd to 5th frame. Might as well just key frame it all in.
