Flash avatar, my first...

["jan]

You know even if I dont ever use Flash much because of the constraints needed for 56kers, it would still be nice ta learn.Jus seems like there is so much ta learn though.I think all the tutorials Ive seen take you on a bit of a "grand tour"rather than givin you the "meat an potatoes" to pique your interest an get you in on the ground floor.I think if I ever learn it good Ill definately write a tutorial for simpletons like me who dont need "the grand tour" to discourage us and put us to sleep. Anyways here's my first attempt at a not so flashy Flash av. :)

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

that's a nice one Jan :yes:

But you should make is slower tho

[Redestium]

I thought flash avatars/sigs were forbidden.

[asheep_uk]

They are, but he's exported it as an animated GIF.

["jan]

Thanks guyz. :) Is this a little better finalcut?

[BlueBlood]

good work

[nazgul]

Very cool, nice work :yes:

[isus]

i tried to say slow it down earlier this morning, but neowin was acting messed up (details anyone?)...

yea i like it now... don't change it to that other one.

["jan]

Yeah I noticed neowin was acting like the servers had a million hits all at once for much of the morning. :blink:

["jan]

Heres a little flash I did to a sig that I use on another site ...

[isus]

near the end, when the d rotates around, it looks like it says "bit-quest mob" :p

[Vodun]

Umm...silly question here. Exporting a flash anim to gif, do you need an extra program or does flash do it for you? (Ya ya, I'm lazy and dont feel like looking at the help file in the program) :pinch:

[mm3h]

Nice (Y) I know abit of flash look at TAPNET http://tap-net.tk if that doesnt work try http://www.guiskins.com/tapnet :D

["jan]

Hehe ... yeah I noticed that too isus. :cool:

I dont know yet if flash can do it for you Vodun.I use magicswf2avi to convert at the moment.(Im still learnin the ropes.) :p

Nice job there tapnet. :)

["jan]

Vodun, Jus saw that you can export to gif from flash w/o any other progs. :p

[TruBD]

nice work (Y)

[Vodun]

Ta mate, time to start working on an animated avatar then =)

["jan]

You know even if I dont ever use Flash much because of the constraints needed for 56kers, it would still be nice ta learn.

56kers just need to use FireFox. Even though I have broadband, I have FireFox set to not show images from a 3rd party. Thus your avatar and a few others don't display because they are not hosted at Neowin.

My avatar and most others display properly.

This setting combined with the disabling of signatures improves my enjoyment of Neowin tremendously. I don't like all of that clutter.

If I REALLY want to see your avatar, I can right click on where it would be and choose view image.

["jan]

Yes that new firefox is nice, aint it? :)

[jack_canada]

good!

["jan]

Thanks, heres a slightly improved version.Does look much nicer in firebird(fox) and Opera browsers I must admit.Reduced the file size quite a bit too.
