Phew! Thanks Vern! That takes a load off my mind. I will certainly take advantage of other's scripts but I do believe my scripting days will be over if I don't have to I probably won't. My passion is art not programming, although my husband really wishes I would do more programming! I just don't enj...

The success is not in the tool you use. It is in how you use them and what you want to tell. Of course it is! I agree 100% Maybe I didn't formulate my question correctly. Since I am new to As I am asking those of you who have achieved success with As and As only, whether or not it is possible to do...

Just out of curiosity, would I need to know how to do scripting to become successful with AS? That was my nemesis with Flash, I just had such a hard time with actionScript.

morda, I am new to AS and have been struggling with many of the tools and functions mostly because even after doing all the manual's tutorials multiple times and thinking I knew how things worked I realized I didn't because I wasn't actually doing much as far as the tutorials are concerned because t...

I really like how you made the water and the fish moved quite nicely. I also really liked how the clothes on the boy moved with the wind, nice touch. Were your backgrounds done in AS or a paint program?
All in all very impressive.

For one week's worth of work, I think it was pretty good. A bit weird, as far as the "banana guy" is concerned but I liked the music. You know what they say about music being one of the "make or break" elements of some productions. Not bad at all I think

Keep up the good work!

Very Halloweeny! I didn't think we'd see the devil himself!

I couldn't connect to this server last night so I am thanking you this morning! Thank you so much for clarifying the styles for me. I finally got it right, I hope anyway! My wings look fine now. Apparently it was like I thought, I had an outline style as well as fill style and the outline was over r...

I see how versatile this can and should be but I guess I need to be walked through the actual steps to applying it to my other wing because I can't get it to work still. This is what I have done so far: I have copied the first wing's properties in the styles panel and it shows up as wing with all th...

lol, my thoughts exactly! I ran into some more trouble though! Maybe posting it will answer it like the last time. :) I did what you said with the styles but I still don't seem to be able to apply it to the other wings. :oops: Thank you so much for helping, and now that I know about the styles it wi...

Well I feel silly! Not two minutes after I posted this that I found the answer myself, duh!
I use the select shape in the fill tools and poof there's all the information I need in the style panel.

I was wondering if it is at all possible to select an already drawn vector and find out which properties had been applied to it. For example, I drew a wing and added an alpha and a blur to it for my character while facing straight ahead and then I wanted to add the same properties to wings I made fo...

hi Phillysteak we were having this same discussion in the "How Do I...?" section of the Anime Studio Discussion area entitled "Selecting a color off an object in drawing" and you will find some great advice there on this topic as well.
Every little bit helps

Thank you so much Genete! I finally got around another hurdle thanks to you. I was having a hard time wrapping my brain around that (I blame Flash for brainwashing me :D ) It isn't that it is hard it's just a different way of using these tools. thank goodness for this forum...I have been "livin...

Those are excellent ideas, Vern. I will try those today. So very helpful!! Is there a way to save your work area the way you want it in AS? Set it's default to where you want the tools and style panels etc to be upon opening your project? I am so picky about that, it just takes a couple seconds to m...
