I'd like to make some Flash 'toons when I get the chance. Do most people use single frame or double frame format when they animate? Can you use a digital camera or do you have to use a scanner?

As a note, you don't actually have to draw all your frames out in real life. A lot of people use a stylus and draw everything in Flash itself. The only real time I've seen people import hand-drawn pictures into Flash is when they're going to use it for finishing touches.Quote:

Finally, you tell the software you want the object in frame 1 to look like the object in frame 2, and how many frames it will take.
