Flash Animation 10: Creating a New Scene

New Scene Content

Rather than copy my frames containing Lex over from my first scene, I'm going to reassemble him on this new stage from scratch using my imported GIFs from my library. The reason that I'm doing this is because if I copy over the movie clips from my last scene, then I'll end up duplicating the motion, as well. While the generic motions used are pretty much okay for use just about anywhere that doesn't require specifics, I don't want that--I just want Lex to be still in a certain pose, with only his head and mouth moving. You'll notice that I reused the left hands to make it look a little more natural, as the other hand was an open view of the inside of the palm; I just mirrored the hand using the Free Transform tool. It's not quite perfect, but I'd have to draw an entirely new hand to make it exact, and I'm not worried about that right now.
