Flash: Kirby Animation

In this animation I mainly used the Classic Tween in order to create the character's motions. I had to first make the character and convert every characteristic of the character into a symbol. For example, the I would make a the eye and convert it to a symbol naming it 'left eye'. Then I would make its pupil and convert it to a symbol naming that 'left pupil'. I learned that by making these all symbols, it was so much easier to animate and edit. I could select the whole character and resize everything at the same time. That alone would take about 5 min if I had resize every individual drawing on the character, yet by doing this it only took a few seconds. Also, this enabled me to easily edit each characteristic easily without messing up the rest of my animation. All I needed to do was double click on the symbol and edit it on its own. I really enjoyed creating this animation.
