ALAN BECKER - Using Screenshots in Flash

[@The18avp]

... To make about 3 seconds of video, it took him about 24 minutes. The amount of effort these youtubers who do animations put in is ridiculous. Respect!

[@mrjor1]

The18avp not 24 minutes for 3 seconds!!!!!! It totally did not take 8.72222222 days to make this video. More like three hours.

[@Arkias]

+mr putty melapples 3 hours for that? uhh a little bit overboard...

[@suckerpunch1646]

+The18avp But he's also explaining. I think he will be faster when he does it alone.

[@THEFIRSTCRAZYGAMER]

Rem Finally, someone knows how hard animation is :)

[@The18avp]

ZikAnims Why does everyone think that my comment is hate towards him? Learn to read the comment...

[@1dawnthief]

cool guide. every single move and step is covered and explained. big thanks!

[@Angelxx1994]

Mostly reason why I love your channel is that you make the animation and teach how did you make them, not as mostly animators do

[@Lordy-Lord]

I'm still mad because I have to pay for adobe flash/ animate

[@iambluexd]

@@Lordy-Lord that's not anyone's fault

Saddest thing in life: Accidentally unsaving your animation

[@YourNormalPersonDavi]

Very True..

[@THEFIRSTCRAZYGAMER]

AudzAlpha unsaving your animation... makes sense

[@voogai555]

hahahaha this is my fuck thing 1 month ago i made an animation and at making i saw a problem of program and closed it! after this i deleted flash program but i downloaded it again!

Thank you Alan Becker! Thanks for all these tutorials!!! Thank you!!! Now I can create great movies and you helped me 999999999 times when I needed your help!!! THANK YOU!!! :D

[@RetroGamerNO]

I started animating at the age of 7, because I saw Macromedia Flash 8 in AvA1. Now I'm animating with Adobe Flash CC. Thanks Alan!

[@cartoondrawing3806]

Well I started in 11 years old becuase I found a animating tool called tupi which is just awesome

[@milo-ep7tq]

I started w/ creative cloud at 8, and I was literally pro at 9!!!

[@cartoondrawing3806]

+milo55545 congrats

[@cartoondrawing3806]

Dam, I do not know if anyone is gonna see my comment, but Alan Becker, YOUR INSSANE MAN!!!!! Love ur animations and tutorials, keep up the GREAT work!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@froyo4u]

i saw it!

[@stickred9729]

Alan Becker, your tutorials are great, I did it very well , pero creo que tienes que aprender a hablar en español,jaja,what I always put in my comments :Alan Becker, you are the best 😎👍

[@babyshyllajoanmatamayor80]

It sounds like this is the first time Alan pasted a screenshot in Flash XD XD 2:00

[@hamza62240]

no. when you take a screenshot, dont paste it directly in flash. goto paint>right click>paste and save it anywhere. and goto flash and click file>import>import to stage and select the bitmap image.

[@luukkey]

This is awesome.Keep it going with the tutorials bro :).

[@maxmushroomN64]

You can also try bitmap tracing for the pointer when using masks, always think of the shape as a window to the layer under

[@VitalikNerdChannel]

Thanks for the very useful Flash tutorial!

[@CodePythonicDev]

Thank you! It was a pain trying to figure out the keyboard shortcuts you were mentioning since you were using an outdated version of flash in the video.

[@flameshock1496]

Windows 10 makes the blue box button thing alot easier now because it's literally just a grey square

[@beam4547]

Flame Shock Exactly! I remade this on windows 10, and it was a lot easier!

[@TerryPlays]

Flame Shock how did you do it?!

[@Diogo2cool]

I prefer windows 7 (cuz I have it doesn’t mean it’s bad) because you can do sideshows in your background also make is look like a new pc in personalizar

[@JonasTisell]

@@Diogo2cool windows 7 ftw

[@GlowsLythos]

This video proves that Alan Becker is very creative and smart.

[@animced]

can you make a revamped version of this?

[@jenath]

14:00 I LOVE YOU HAHAHAH

[@mefbezos8650]

Now Im using animate cc but that tutorials useful today too

[@ArnavBoom]

TRUE

[@WatercraftGames]

You can find The cursor files in System32. Nice video btw

[@imperswet]

No, in C:\Windows\Cursors

[@oyous101]

Now I get why it took you so long to make Animator vs. Animation 3. It's so complicated!

[@Zxios]

That trick with the gradient (middle point 0% alpha) is AMAZING. colored rectangles without the text changing!!! :D

[@Penduale]

I too am going to be picky. First I have to say, you are really talanted and I love these animations. But when you hover over the option below the one with the "pop-out" (in this case 'Screen Resolution'), it is not highlighted, which it should in fact be. Anyways, great tutorials!

[@aysemesele8524]

In 8:44, my cursor is going under the right click menu. What can i do? Help pls!

[@aysemesele8524]

@Fredliat It worked. Thanks for it bro!

[@amire7750]

thank you 😁😁

[@notdutchman]

when i try to fill in the lines of the cursor like in 4:51 it doesnt do it for some reason. I hae checked and all the lines are connected with eachother and i could not find and accurate solution anywhere. Please help

[@draze2942]

at 9:26 , you were cropping the picture but when i paste it on flash, it becomes very small. how do i fix this?

[@PinkieApocalypse]

Thanks :D, quick thing tho, in the beginning you made a frame of viewing area, and then worked with the large screencap, to finish off the animation would you just resize the whole thing to fit the viewing area? just wondering the easiest way to do it seeing as i do not have much experience beyond your tutorials, But please keep them up :D ^^

[@eliasespondaburu]

yo no se mucho ingles pero igual el tutorial me sirvió :DDD Gracias Alan.

[@KS_228yan]

thank you alan now i can make videos like you :D

[@santi5212]

you are a professional

[@defautluser0]

13:09 the "paste shortcut" thing was grayed out(which means you cant select it)

[@deltarune74]

This video is amazing 😉

[@aaronsworld02]

Guys if ur having problems, just paste the screenshot into paint, find flip horizontal, flip it, paste it into flash (after u copied the one in paint) and it should paste in upside down. Rotate it, and then ur good!

[@NazeehYauqoob]

or you can go to start>all programs>accessories>snipping tool

[@NazeehYauqoob]

no mate, starting from windows XPerience until windows 10 the feature "pressing down the windows key in the keyboard at the same time pressing the the R key will always opens the run command.

[@Nightmist]

the menu is on top of the cursor what to do? i placed the layer with the menu below the cursor layer

[@shivanshchanana1]

Hey but what about the window which you created at the starting of the video ? I meant that do we need to delete it now or We need to re size our document or something ?

[@hoodaxelboy]

wow - i thought i was the only one who made a frame around my canvas :D

[@EveryBodyEditsFan150]

this is awesome... and the link is the FLA for stickfigures 2 :|

[@esthergilera1503]

Sometimes, this requires Print Screen in Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. However in older versions of Windows 7, does it include the windows key?

[@mayankmundada8981]

This is better than original Wndows!

[@tuulnyamdorj2381]

College: Come to me if you wanna be better at animating Me: No College: WHY Me: Cuz i will just watch alan's tutorials

[@detect1ve6903]

LOL

[@VLTNO]

Alan u forgot something when an option is grey then the highlighted box should be grey too

[@TheDoorIsJammed]

@wong2008a Okay - Strongly advise against this but I think I may have found a crappy way of filling in the cursor. Paint white on a layer below the lines, select it all and convert it into a symbol. It works, but I don't think it's the best solution. X'D

[@jasonn221b]

Wait how do you keep the drop down from overlapping the cursor

[@mustiy0]

i love you alan

[@primedesigns6046]

Could you do a tutorial on having a figure type something into say.. A Facebook message or google search bar? Really interesting stuff man

[@Diogo2cool]

Easy, just add the sound affect and add the letter in each frame

when i make the classic tween for fading it creates another layer and it doesn't work. I am using Adobe Animate 2021. What do i do?

[@ArsalanEutt]

man you rock!

[@weirdonameo]

I think you should have added a drop shadow to the cursor.

[@kendy.online]

Ej's Cartoons HD if you just installed windows 7 there is no shadow

[@rohithpadmanaban811]

is classic tween option present in macromedia flash professional 8

[@Lukas99g]

How do you make them destroy everything like in animator vs animation?

[@firingleo4559]

hey alan I'm just 10 years old when I saw your animations when I was 9 i started to draw your stickfigures in the drawing but i couldnt understand how made i move when i saw your tutotrial I realized you animated it with adobe flash I took the trial and started animating with keeping on pressingF6 after that i couldnt undrestand why aanimations were so fast then when i saw your stick figure animation i used itand now i am an animator

[@trinitysillykitty]

if the prntscrn button is blue, you have to press fn+(whatever) snipping tool works

[@aw7852]

you could use snipping tool?

[@rohitmalpani5081]

thanks it was nice when the stick figure was falling you used onion skin to saw its correct or not ]

[@daveolsen8985]

[@Mosnouk]

Genius !

[@mundodacrianca2147]

Complex, but helpful.

[@KyrosKohKS]

I just realised that the Non-Clickable Selection of the DropDown Popup for "Paste" and "Paste shortcut" should be Greyed tinted instead of Blue tinted.

[@wunkus9821]

+Kyros Koh I thought I was the only person who would notice that...

[@zakarya569]

A easy way is screen shot desktop with light shot save it import into an animating program and done but you can use different programs then light shot

[@Sp4wnEffect]

Oke, so my text is too smooth, what is the best anti alias for windows 8 or where can I find my computer anti alias settings so I can make it the same :-) Thanks!

[@satwikvetcha6300]

I have one doubt.that is if we play means apart only will come what we have to do if we play whole part have to come

[@purpol873]

I'm confused. Why did you have to know where your stage was if some of the boxes and the stick figure went out of it?

when i created the Stick Figure_Clicked symbol, the blue bar was behind the drop down thing, and i couldn't see the bar, anyone know what i have to do to fix that?

[@unrvldswtr]

The part where he shows how to make the highlight for the pop-up buttons is easier if you are doing windows 10 because it's only a gray bar in windows 10

[@sabinhamal5253]

[@baozer900]

you forgot to show how to move the screen and frame because it doesn't show when you actually play it with Crtl + Enter unless you enlarge it.

[@euantubeet8184]

Really good but after I outline the pointer I cant fill the white into it what happened to that?

[@wong2008a]

i tried to fill the cursor but it always goes right back to no fill how do i fix it? It also happened with a fill but no outline/stroke

[@trinitysillykitty]

didya know you convert the desktop to a symbol (restigration at the middle), make the desktop position to 0 and 0 and make the stage the width and height of your screen?

[@fabian_ftn6604]

How you export it at the end In my exported one O zoom in in the dropdown

[@techgenius2000]

depends on your visual effect configuration

[@ArnavJoshi]

I am going to get super-uper-duper picky and say that on the dropdown menu, when you hover your mouse over text that is grayed out, the blue rounded rectangle that shows up is actually gray!!!!! I am doing that in my animation.

[@tiffanylo2181]

aahhhh so confusing! XD maybe I should stick to a blank background or a pre-made one XD

[@DimensionalIO]

It's ALT +Print screen for Windows 10(and i think Windows 7)
