Flash Animation 7: Let's Move, Baby.
All right, time to get our characters moving. By now you should have a script set up; I kept mine trimmed to two lines, to avoid having a 1MB animated GIF here, but you have fun making yours as long as you want. As you can see I moved my speech bubbles a bit for some variety so we're not just staring at the same spot while Lex talks.

You should also have your characters grouped by body parts in nested symbols, as covered in Lesson 5. If you haven't done this, go through and do it before we move on.
