ok i know there's a topic on how to control sprites but what i wanna know is how to control them with their animation.

As an example im using hitsugaya i want to control that with the animation in it.

First make a movieclip with several frames in it. One frame per animation. Each animation should itself be contained in a movieclip. Watch out with hit detection, the size of the sprite changes as the animation progresses, so it may lead to hiccups or serious issues unless every sprite is exactly the same size down to the pixel.

how do you make frames and animations contained in a movie clip (sorry im kinda a noob at flash)

In truth, every movieclip is another movie inside itself. They have "Nested" timelines. You can control a movieclip's timeline the same way as the main timeline just by pointing the code to the movieclip's "instance name". Everything in flash has an "instance name". You can set an object's instance name by clicking on it, opening properties and changing the text in the field to the left of the bar.

To edit a movieclip's timeline, you just double click it on the stage or in the library. To leave the nested timeline, double click in an empty space or click Scene 1 at the top (if you changed the name of the scene then it'll say the scene name instead).

I LOVE YOU i dont know how i can repay you but THANKS for talking beginer languge
but ive just got one problem when i make it go to an animation it stays still

I'm good at understanding the thought process of people learning things.

The trick here is to have one big movieclip to hold the character. Have each frame of the movieclip assigned to a different animation. On the frame you have another movieclip with the animation inside it.

For example, lets say you want a character to walk and stand. First you make a movieclip with two frames. In the first frame you add the walking animation inside a movieclip, in the second frame you a walking animation inside a movieclip. Just tell it to gotoAndStop on the correct frame. Don't forget to stop(); the top level movieclip, or it'll rapidly flash between your standing and walking animation.

thank you again ive got it but how do i make it go to the staying still animation when i realse the key

Make is so that if no keys are down, it goes to the standing position.

if(Key.isDown(Key.WHATEVER) == true){
_root.Character.gotoAndStop("walking");
}else{
_root.Character.gotoAndStop("standing");
}

*ads to freand list*

hank you again ive got it but how do i make it go to the staying still animation when i realse the key

im confused what do i do with the first code

Learn how to use Flash.

That doesnt help at all

Yes it does.

unless i can use this for help no it doesnt
