Did you ever finish your special effects short? I wasn’t weened of of Flash at the time and was just dipping my toe into the water. I hope your royalty checks are getting better. Would love to see more of your methodology with files since the Toon Boom site took your stuff down and some of the other tutorials are PAINFUL to watch.

I have 2 colleges and 4 classes working with it. Hi Adam- Well, I have been using your most excellent book now for over a year. I don’t have a question about Animate, but i do have one about your book: does it incorporate AP3 along with it’s new features or just v2, or possibly all v3? Thanks man, and thanks again for your time, gift, and work!

I used to play lead guitar and sing for a satanic metal act before i called out to God afterwards, i made it big, not as big as you, but big enough to play in Paradox. Dude, with your talent, and the way this old world/age is winding down, it would be such an honor (and help) if you knew Him – though you may already as i’m not referring to being a “christian” per se – as there’s more fakes than there are real ones out there. After i finally gave in and accepted the Creator (Christ), he placed me in the metal band Paradox (presently touring with Blue Oyster Cult).

I’m thinking about doing it with guitar (although i’m an advanced musician – toured with Paradox in 89′ – i’m an amature pepple faced wannabe when it comes to animation). I won’t “quick question” you to death, but i DO want to say how thankful i am for your taking time out to offer your TB tutorials for free, seeing how good you are and all. (guess that wasn’t a quick question after all) but thanks. Is there a particle system in toon boom A2 that allows you to create such effects as your ‘fleas?’ Or are you going to hit me with the jaw dropping news that you never used a particle system in the first place, but frame by frame animation? lol I figured I’d have to go back into the production file and pull every code back onto the main timeline and it just hit me that flash was not created for ‘animators’ but mainly web developers…so i purchased TB Animate 2 recently. My actionscript would render in SWF but not AVI. One of the main reasons I slowed my usage of Flash was because I could not seem to render my actionscript into AVI format for editing in after effects. Hey Adam, quick question… I noticed in some of your Brackenwood series (GREAT BTW) you produced in Flash, you would use what looked to be a particle system (on the gelatinous thingy stuck to the tree with little fleas hovering around it).
