GREAT!
This is probably one of the best tutorials on Newgrounds. Although some parts made my head hurt since I barely know flash, that was really good. You get a 10 for graphics, that detail was just amazing.

That's really been a surprise to me. I knew it was at least decent, but I guess the way I view my own work (I always think everything I do is terrible) clouds my judgement. In any case I hope you can make use of the information provided.
Thanks for the compliments and the review!
Nice Job, Helb.
Deffinatly the best tutorial I've seen. I learned so much! ......now I just need to got get Macromedia. Lol. Anyway, this is good. Nothing to complain about. And nice move putting our link up, we'll get more members now. God knows we need them. Your rising. You'll be a top notch animator once day. Legendary Frog, Super Flash Bros., all amatures compaired to you some day. Just remeber to invite me over to your mansion sometime. I get lonely...
Helbereth responds:
See now that's something I hadn't expected. i've gotten reviews and e-mails from people who said this pushed them over the edge and made them go out and buy flash. That particular aspect is one I don't understand...
As for the comparison to SFB and LF etc., don't bother - I'm in a class all my own. =)
Thanks for the review!
Excellent, now please help...
I need help with the scripted camera. I've tried all you hints for the previous people that already commented, and my camera stil only shows what looks to be the top-right corner of the camera. It won't center. At all. Please help!
Helbereth responds:
You're in luck. I've encountered this with other e-mails before. I never encountered it myself before making the tutorial 9hence why there's no clarification).
The camera itself within the movie clip that houses the box and crosshairs has to be centered itself in order for the camera to function properly.
What that means is that you have to go into the camera's movie clip and (I advise using the align toolset to do this properly) align your camera box, crosshairs and color bar so they are in the exact center of the clip (the center of a MC is distinguished by a tiny set of crosshairs that appears when you open the MC).
Make sure the box is centered (and the crosshairs if you expect them to be effective) and that the color bar is somewhere within the box, that way when the AS goes to find the dimentions for the camera (which it does constantly), and its position (also done constantly), it's not reading it off-center, and therefore capturing the image that's a little bit to the right or left or what have you.
On the other hand you could just aim the camera off center of everything you want to be viewing... but that would be illogical and quite silly...
Thanks for the review!
Great tutorial!
But with the faries, when I try to tween the wings it just tweens up and down. Also, HOW DO YOU PEOPLE DRAW SO FREAKING GOOD!?i could barly do a decent tree, let alone a whole atmosphere!Man! you gusy are so good! Jeeze, I wish I could do stuff like that!
This was an extremely good tutorial.
I found it really useful and think it was really well done. I can't wait for the "sequel"!
I just wish I had a high enough version of Flash so I could use that cool camera...
