I remember in one thread you were like, "Yeah, I'm gonna teach myself php this week, and give myself two weeks for flash," and I was like, "Yeah right..!"

Strong with the force you are, but strong enough to master macromedia, you are not...

But I'm not hating..! I'm glad I am not the only person around this bitch that thinks self teaching school rocks..! You're probably alot like me, you learn better by projects...I've always found it easier to learn things by just finding out how to do what I want to do, me and manuals don't get along...

If you are building something you want though, you don't mind shifting through mounds of resources to find it. cause the minute it works, you're excited about it...

Sounds like my life everyday, me and all my projects...

Good job M8, keep at it..!

Keep it growing.

OFF Topic: I can't wait the launching of the teletubbies movie, i'm getting bored of Ayhja speaking a-la star wars.

I admire anyone with the patience and fortitude to get a handle on any of that stuff. I started out years ago learning BASIC for programming my old Commodor 64 (you youngsters don't even know what I'm talking about, do you?), but never really took it any further than that.

Good job, Deeje. I'm looking forward to seeing your work as it progresses.

Whatever kid, point is you're taking the initiavite to do the shit on your own, Flash, like any other tool, especially when it comes to animation, will take time....it's not hard, it's time consuming, but rewarding.

As far as your image is concerned, you'd do well to have an image that's optimized for the size you are working with. In other words, you are working with too small an image to be blown up to this size, start with a bigger subject, work on your movie, then optimize it to 72 dpi when publishing it.
Also, try using an image that's not cropped as your mask is, that way it won't leave the edges of your other image visible.
