I did this for a book report project on Dracula, as you will see. It’s my first flash cartoon over 15 seconds, it’s kindof korny, but whatever. watch it.

also i have a question, I’m using a mask to make the rounded edges and to keep all the contents inside a barrier if you watch the swf file alone, i have it split into 5 scenes (1 for beginning and end and 3 for toon) and my layers are organized in folders, but the folders prevent me from having everything masked by one “frame” so I have a frame for every folder (that needs it). I believe that this, in some places may be slowing down the cartoon, making it lag. is there a way that i can use one mask for every thing, without getting rid of my folder organization?

edit// after looking through a few pages of the showcase and critique, i feel like… well a noob, but i already knew that i was. 😛
