This is a Walk Cycle tutorial. A walk cycle is a looping animation of a character walking. Sounds simple, but is difficult to get right! You may need to try it several times to get an acceptable animation. A good one will be smooth, with no &#8220;stuttering&#8221;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/zeurel.deviantart.com\/art\/Flash-Tutorial-1-Walk-Cycles-252730782\">Walk Animation<\/a><\/li>\n<li>*One thing, the new version of Flash\/Animate needs a tweak to the animation setup. Don&#8217;t use &#8220;Insert Blank Keyframes&#8221; during the setup, just use &#8220;Insert Keyframe&#8221; instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Assignment 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Use your completed Walk Cycle as a template to draw your own original character walking. Below is an example. You can either draw over your rough animation, or redraw it on a new layer &#8211; up to you! For a final touch, tween a background that moves behind the character.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"512\" height=\"384\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.shscomputers.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced_walkcycle.swf\" \/><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"pluginspage\" value=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\" \/><embed width=\"512\" height=\"384\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shscomputers.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/advanced_walkcycle.swf\" quality=\"high\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more Animation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>YouTube is full of amazing, professional and free resources and tutorials.
