Go To www.stickdeath.com
and tell me how do you think or know what he is doing to animate the charachters so smoothly and also tell me how many fps he is running but most importantly tell me how he gets the characters to move in the time line such as: do you use keyframes , 1 keyframe he moves a spot then he moves and changes the next keyframe or what. I need to understand more on how he animates those sticks I tried animating things I made but cant get them to be so smooth so if anyone has time to reply or sometihng or send a swf of a animation I could look at or something for a view to help me for my animations I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Thanks 4 Any Help

Well, its very easy to have smooth animation. Just gotta have the right fps and the right keyframes. In my opinion, i think frame-by-frame animation is better than tweens…cause fbf gives a life spark to the characters.
BTW…Sticks suck…
