animating fluid coming out of something
So I want to make a character bleed or spit or dump water onto something that results in a puddle. If I were to pull this off, would I have to create a switchlayer and frame by frame it? Or is there an easier way? Please let me know.

quick action like this will require some sort of frame by frame, and the only way to do frame by frame in AS is to use switch layers or use SynthSin's fbf script which would probably be slightly quicker/easier.
make sure you have 'enable drawing on frames other than 0' on, and read this thread:

There may be a newer version available on www.animatorsforum.com as that is the main home of Synthsin and his scripts, but you have to get involved in the community there before you get access to the script section (definately worth the effort! there are some gems in there)

I couldn't find the frame by frame script for anime studio pro 8 anywhere unfortunately.
So what I found myself doing was creating a seperate switchlayer for the movement and placed it in the desired position and kept it invisible until the object that emitted the movement showed up, then it became visible and from there it frame by framed out from there. I was surprised by how well it came out.
My next goal is to try and make a big scary face vomit skulls everywhere. I'm going to try that same method for this.

Animating some fluids is very easy on AS. I just made a short tutorial, 1:40, 3.4 mb:

I hope you find it useful.

great techniques! another quick method to make flowing liquid, perhaps the quickest. is to create a shape and use the vector settings. adjust the noise settings till you get the flow animation that suits your animation. might not work for everything but i used that technique in this scene and it seems to work perfectly.
