Character Animation and Walk Cycles in Flash



Been really busy lately so this is my first post in a while. I've wanted to learn how to animate characters in flash for a while now, so today I went all out and instead of messing around with stick men I sketched myself a little guy called 'Dex'. I decided I'd attempt rigging my character thoroughly enough so that I could complete a walk cycle.

After spending a lot of today on it, I'm as good as finished with the leg and body movements so I'll be posting the finished walk cycle complete with arm movement tommorow night.

In case anyones interested I combined the following YouTube tutorials to get a general idea of how character animation can be achieved in flash:
