	*Originally posted by Sokoto1* trust me its worth it .C&C Welcome.... I think the control movie clip on the splash screen confusing, and the next button is wrong because presumably you will "begin" the tutorial not continue it. I also think that the "look and feel" is somewhat dull. Your text is very AA, turn the AA OFF in the edit menu and use static text so that the text is sharp (place on whole pixels). Also actionscript the 1st frame of your video to play in "low quality" it won't affect anything and will make all your art "Pixel" quality. The control movie clip should go to step 1 when pressed not the splash screen, actually you may not have gotten to this as nothing works right here. I did not really inspect it but when you are working in this project proof-read work since typos (caught 2) will only make it look silly. Keep up the good work.

	Yes this is really good. Very nice controls and beautiful interface. Interesting and easy to read through. :) Is there gonna be a step through animation creation? I think its a very hard concept, lots of people have trouble knowing how many frames is ideal, or which frames to use and discard. =) Keep it up
