Reviews for "The Big Fat Tutorial"
Excellent resource - animation techniques
Fantastic summary of a number of key elements to animation - highly recommended for anyone interested in flash animation.
Some of the jokes are a little lame but overall a valuable resource.
This tutorials is HELPFUL (Rare on NG)
You have made a great tut, but I cannot get the cam to work right
Symbol=camFrame, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 1: '{' expected
function camControl():Void {
Symbol=camFrame, Layer=actions, Frame=1: Line 9: Unexpected '}' encountered
}
^I get that message when testing, I dunno how to check wot AS im using. hope u can shed some light coz i wood love to use this technique.
thanks

Well it's one of very few issues.
Either you copied the script wrong (which is mortifying, from what I hear.
You may need to change your publish settings to use AS 2.0 (only available in MX 2004 or later).
Or you put the script in the wrong part of the camera itself. Remember the camera movie clip has 4 layers... either one can have the script, really, but it has to be in the MC, not applied to it.
Those are the only 3 possible solutions I've encountered with people not being able to use the camera. Otherwise it works.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO RESPOND TO A REVIEW IN ALL CAPS. THANKS FOR PROVIDING THAT CHANCE, AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT THE HARD FIGHT!
awsome
This is the best tuturial i've looked at so far. I just started to use flash because of school. I used this tuturial and I got A+ on the the movie I had to make. The atmosphere and composition tuturials realy helped me get that grade. keep up the good work and I can't wait till the next one comes out

I feel like I missed out on something... I graduated in 1997 before the internet heyday... If flash was around then who knows what I'd be doing now...
