Very cool...

I found you over at BooYippee... I like your animation-style even though I know it gets a lot of flack. Total 10 from me!

[The Sad Zombie 2]

10

All 10s... I loved it. I do have a question for you. I love the white outline around your characters. The animation-style is something I've tried before. You know how the white is on a layer below the character so it won't blend with the character when say it's hand crosses its body. Anyhow, when you make the white (which is larger than the character, do you use the "expand fill" feature or do you use a stroke and then convert the stroke to fills? Either way, I think Flash has issues with expanding fills and it often doesn't work properly. Do you run into that problem? Thanks in advance!

I do run into that problem, and there usually is a way arround it. usually i use expand fill, set to 10, but when that doenst work i try a combination of converting lines to fills (small lines), smoothing the shape and expanding it at small amounts to build up into a 10 pixel thick line.
