stickman animation...

[spike101]

I was thinking of making menu with a stickman symbol (the kind you would see on the mens room door) and have them doing different things on the rollOver.
However, I was wondering what the best way to do something like this is?

Should I just draw out every movement inside Flash and use tweens to put them together or is there a better, and perhaps easier, way to do this?

I do stick people by tweening each body part in its own layer. It's best if you use lines instead of something like the paint brush to draw them. Let the arms, legs, and torso all be their separete line. The great thing about lines is that you can grab them and curve them as you like which works perfectly for stick men. The only catch is that sometimes you'll have to use shap hints to make the shap tweens work correctly. The head should go in its own layer as well.

okay, thanks for the tip.
I wonder how long this is going to take me....:)
