When you see this three Icons click the White flipped paper Icon and that is how to create a new layer. We will create a New Layer because we don’t want to draw the so called “Land” every frame so how do we create a new layer? Look at the image below. In the image below my Border is Black while the Content is Brown. So choose the box option in the toolbox and for the colors(Below the View box) The white Pencil Icon(with a colored box beside) is like the border color of your specific shape or something like that while the Bucket Icon is for the color of the inside of a specific shape.

Well this is Optional if you just want a simple Stick man animation without a fictional land to land on when their jumping. If you want to adjust the Frames per Second double click that “12.0 fps”. in the Timeline that is a frame and are you thinking how many seconds does a frame does? Well, when you looked closely again below the Timeline there is a “12.0 fps” meaning 12 Frames per Second. I haven’t tried some other functions so… let’s stick with the Flash Document.īy default your current is layer 1 and there is the Timeline and the Timeline is distinguished by frames, look on the image that there are 5, 10, 15 etc. Well first if you haven’t used Macromedia Flash so Click “File” or (Alt + F) and then Click “New” then Choose “Flash Document”. By the way, I made my flash into GIF because i want you to see what will be the output after this blog post and I’m still not good in using Flash. Here I am again in my blog teaching you how to create a simple Stick man movement! When I say simple it is really simple, I just want you to learn what I learn from experimenting in Macromedia Flash so the GIF below will be the output when you follow the instructions that will be in the next paragraphs.
