Description Eeep! Just keep in mind to not click everywhere x-x It'll probably break this fragile presentation if you clicked somewhere you are not supposed to click ( ie, beyond the buttons )

I spent 38 hours almost nonstop ( don't count sleeping time ) just working on this picture ;u;
it took forever...

EDIT : If anyone was wondering, I made this in powerpoint, then I converted it to Flash ( took me almost 40 tries to get it right x-x )

EDIT2: To rewatch, simply refresh page, ( powerpoint doesn't come with an option to reload slides, so you'll has to refresh, sowwy! ;n; )

Hmmm It should load after a bit give it some mins if you want x)
I just tested it on several people, I guess it's just server lag.

Ohmaigod thats epic. I never thought that those arm blades would become jet packs to fly +o+ And how its animated so fluently +_+...so perfect. ;w; Do you have a tutorial of a step by step process on how you made this ref? You mentioned converting power point to flash, but how did you set up the power point in the first place?

fff >WW< I love making little surprises for my viewers >/3
and awww, I know this ish not the best, but thankchu so so much <3
mmmm I was planning to make one but it would take quite a while as I ish lossed in other stuff, like After Effects atmies.
hmmmm... I would gladly teach you though, but it's kind of hard via the DA messaging system, perhaps on skype or something c: for powerpoint I just first set the size of the presentation , aka the dimensions to the size of my animation BG, so I just paste the picture dimensions here and it would make the page to that size. then I put the music inside, and then i use the default animation and slideshow stuffs for matching the animations with the music X3 and then so on so forth. for Gifs it was really hard, since they play when the animation would start, and that gets really annoying as the animation never starts where I want it to @o@
then I used a powerpoint converter, I think it was the ppt-flash converter, but I need to still checkss.

meep, but stillsss thankyou so much for the comment ^u^

so that nobody has to go through these evil copywrite hurdles <3 I'm glad music artists make this choice, makes things so easier for everyone , especially artists and artists~

since I converted it from a powerpoint presentation , it sort of skips the comic if you click too fast, or click anywhere else you are not supposed to click (anywhere beyond the buttons >/u/> )

so if it no works then just refresh and tries~
I'm so sowwy abouts this, but I know nothing about how to do wif this ;/// ;~

Meep >/u/< I'm terrible at flash, so I saw it to be the one and only alternative for me after I gave up on learning coding for flash >w<

well first step was basically draw the background, and then add character in, and then go to powerpoint, so you set the page size the same as that of chur picture. and then right click on powerpoint to set the background as your picture C:
now it's pretty up to what chu want for chur ref,
preferably , I would put everything in one scene, like I did, but it would often bork up the converter, so I instead split it so that one button leads to another slide, and etc etcish >/u/<
but then due to the fact that if a slide has a set up to contain animations, then the animations won't work if you play the second slides again, so you would only be able to place the slides once if it has animations you want to plays ( hasn't figured a way around this yet ) but as for the animations and transitions, just do it the way as you would a normal presentation c:
and then I used the program ppt2flash
which is free but can be upgraded to pro version,
and in there, I added the music~ ( you can also add music by inserting audio and sound file, but it doesn't always work with the powerpoint to flash converters ) ( there's lots of powerpoint to flash converters out there~ )
if chu would like help in this, I can helps you ^w ^ always glad about helping someone out~!
