Description
Another one...Ugh. I'm not 100% satisfied with this, but nor am I willing to try tweaking it further, because I seem to be getting a headache from trying to work with Flash's new motion tween thing!
The version of Flash's motion tween that I've been used to for years has been sort of replaced with one that's supposedly 'better'... and I suppose I'm having difficulty getting used to it.
The main things that are bothering me are how when I rotate a MovieClip on a keyframe, it suddenly gets displaced by several pixels upwards and to the right for no apparent reason, then if I drag it back to where it's *supposed* to be, then that somehow modifies the position of that part on *previous keyframes*! Meaning that I keep having to go back to bits which are already *done* to fix these random displacements that shouldn't even be happening in the first place, and I get scared to even rotate a bit by a degree or two in case it creates this bizarre problem.
It's probably 'supposed to happen' due to some reason I don't understand, but it's *very* frustrating. I suppose I'll have to read excessively about this new tween system (again!) before I try to do the next one.
But yes. Rant, rant, fume, etc.

Wicked! I really like your style on these 5 sprites. Pity the tools were giving you uphill.

It's adorable. I wonder who came up with the idea of battling it to the death...

The old motion tweens are still in there if you didn't already know. They're called Classic tweens now.

Yes, I know (I thought I'd mentioned that in the description, but it must have been in another description I wrote for one of these things somewhere), but I don't like the idea of dwelling in the comfortable past and avoiding learning to use new features. I'm finding the change frustrating, but I felt the same about the jump from ActionScript 2 to 3 and I am extremely glad that I stuck with that regardless.

I noticed after reading this, that you had mentioned classic tweens on the Fig Hunter blog, yes. Oops.

Wow, you're really churning out a lot of these at a rather fast pace, and all at good quality too!
I'm not sure what you're dissatisfied with, I think it's really cute!
It's really a shame about how bothersome that program sounds like... I would expect that if it was a better version that it would somehow be possible to use it more easily... But I can't be of help, although I do wish you best of luck, there's probably a way to fix it, yes!
Also, just a random fact from PokΓ©mon B/W 1, it seems that Psychics in the Celestial Tower only turn when you press B, and it's the same for the Black Belts and Battle Girls in the bottom floor of Wellspring Cave, who only move when you press B! I thought that was an interesting quirk that is easily looked over! [I think one could even get oneself stuck in the wellspring cave by abusing this. O.o]

I think that the work you do on the Miasmon animations is amazing.
Modestoat is, from the Mons I've seen, my favourite, and it looks good, I must say. The animation also does honour to its name, what with being meek and all.
I really do like it, et al. Yes. Absolutely. Wonderful.
And I'm sorry to hear you are having such problems with Flash. While animating all the sprites must be tiresome and taking long times and whatnot, not only do you have that, but also technical problems. It can really cause people to tear their hair out in frustration, if they're into that sort of thing, of course.
But eh, good luck, if you are going to continue animating them. It will be very nice to see the Miasmon so alive, I'm sure.

Seems to be the same problem I have in MS Paint when I try to crop and then transing it.
