today we was tasked with completing our animations and exporting our assets into gamemaker, due to a problem i may have to rethink the losing pose. flash sometimes goes into a fatal error and crashes, this puts my production of animation behind a little if this continues to happen.
since my version of Fitz's face was the only one different to the others i have to use a team member's version of the face, and i have to resize it a little.
here is the before and after shot
before:
you can see that he has an unhappy face

after:
you can see that now he has a more angrier face

also it turns out the old colours was the right colours so i now have to use the old colours for future animations

today I re-worked on the losing pose and instead of the idea of making him cry (since his arms were to short) I made him have sort of a hissy fit action
here is the final product:

today I started to make my animations into files to use for gamemaker, I had an issue with making the layers into a movie clip, thanks to a website I managed to find some sort of fix


here are the steps:

1. on your main time line select all of the layers that you want to be in your new movie clip
2. right click anywhere on the timeline and select 'copy frames'
   
3. go to the 'insert' menu and select 'new symbol'
   
4. select 'movie clip' then hit 'ok'
   
5. right click on the first frame of the new movie clip and select 'paste frames'
   
6. that should do it. go back to the main stage, the new movie clip will now be in your library. You can delete all the old layers from the stage if you want.
