EDIT: sorry, forgot to say make is actionscript 2.0.
on ground:
put this on the character:
alright:
1. make your guy
2. inside your guy:
-insert a keyframe on frame 1 (right-click on frame one and click on insert keyframe)
-put your guy facing down in it. (put the plus sign by the character's feet)
3. insert a keyframe on frame 2:
-if you have a walking animation (recomended) put the first frame of it on this keyframe (feet at the + sign like frame one) and make it a movieclip.
4. inside THAT movieclip:
-IF IT'S A GIF IMAGE AS A WALKING IMAGE:
-click on you guy on frame 1
-delete him
-paste the gif image on frame one
-done
-IF IT'S A SERIES OF IMAGES NOT IN GIF FORM
-keep frame one
-paste the images as said by making new keyframes in that movieclip
*NOTE: if you want to fix your walking image, just move the keyframes in it to a different spot to make it quicker or shorter.
-done
5. do the same thing as Frame 2 as you would for frame 3, 4, & 5.
*NOTE: Frame 2 = walking left Frame 3 = walking right Frame 4 = walking up Frame 5 = walking down.
6. NOW still in that guy movieclip, insert a keyframe in frame 6
-put the guy standing left in it (FEET ON + SIGN!!!! I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!!!)
-done
7. Do that for frames 7 & 8
*NOTE: Frame 6 = standing LEFT Frame 7 = standing RIGHT Frame 8 = standing facing UP
***NOTE: Standing down has already been made in frame 1, it's not needed again.
8. put this code on all of the frames in this guy movieclip:
9. go back to scene 1
10. paste/insert your ground
11. make it a movieclip
12. try it out!
hope this helps.
any questions just ask.
