Character « Design « Flash Tutorials

In the beginning you need to find a sprite sheet or draw the character by yourself i recommend you do the last one because you want an original character. for this tutorial i will use a sprite i found on the web.

This is going to be a very long tutorial so even newbies should be able to follow it, and hopefully learn a lot, and to see how easy it is to make games in Flash. 1. Draw an oval with a gradient as in the image below.

7. Try your flash game, and you will see that our guy can move smooth around, even angled. Next we will give some detail to our characters movement, so when he moves then the feet and body moves.

3. Go to frame 2, select joe (all the part of him) right click and convert it to a movie clip.
