Here's what I've discovered by hitting buttons: The three columns are for 3 Switch Groups. You can control up to 3 Switch Groups with the tool. Switch Groups will automatically load into the three columns. The rows in the columns are the different layers in the Switch Layers. You can manually select...

Seems to work fine for me in ASP6. Haven't used all the features yet. Installed it like any other scripted tool. I don't think I renamed anything but I had to add it to the menu text file in AS.

Is it this month?! I really should have read the fine print closer. The cool thing is, I think we've all been inspired by the work of others, and after the public winner announcements we get our rights back so we can re-work/continue producing/post/etc our animations. I know I learned a lot from the...

I like...no wait, LOVE Rhoel's ideas. However, I'll reserve any judgment on the difficulty level of adding these features. I'm not sure which version was the "normal version of AS" that Slowtiger was referring to, however if SM is going to put a out a product with the word "Pro" ...

Spaceboy, get Fazek's rotation tool on animatorsforums.com, it is resolves this issue. You first click to set the position to rotate around then click drag or something like that to rotate around that selected pivot. Haven't used the stock rotation since.

I'm downloading Ubuntu Studio 9.04 right now, its packaged with Blender, Gimp... I've read positive things about OpenSuse, and Debian. Mostly I just want it to install and work. I've read of many linux install failures, or wi-fi not working, sound not working...ugh. I'll (hopefully) be installing it...

My laptop died. If I can get it running again, I'm considering loading Linux on it. A friend suggested Ubuntu, any other Linux flavors that come recommended?

From Flash export as version 6 .ai image sequence (I tried 8 and it crashed on load to AS) .

Eps files from Flash crash AS if using the "image import sequence" script.

There I go assuming again...

The "Load Image Sequence" script DOES load .eps and .ai files. Yay!

Now I need to install Flash and see if it batch exports...dun dun daaaah

That is fantastic work, and the tube idea is genius.

I have my reasons for wanting to do this; certain style attributes I can easily attain in AS, the stability of AS when using large images, 3D, bones for further tweaking if necessary (I only have Flash 8 ). Staying in vector is the goal so I don't run into a pixel resolution ceiling. The enormous am...

Not to bash AS, but it currently does not offer the most effecient way of doing FBF. So my thought is to create the FBF in Flash and then bring in each frame of the vector work into AS. However, I don't think there is a way to batch output vector from Flash and batch import to AS. I understand all t...

b15fliptop, yeah that totally freaks me out each time. While it potentially could be more efficient to have the software do this automatically, masking is confusing enough without AS taking any liberties on my behalf. I think I'd like it NOT to automatically mask or at least give us the option to to...

Wow, that's cool Vern!

I produced an animation for the Fox/Aniboom holiday animation contest. This is a short "trailer" for a longer format storyline that I have in mind. http://www.aniboom.com/competitions/Fox/393315/Sleigher/ I'll take the first stab at deprecation. While I spent most of the production time pa...
