well...this -is- my first animation attempt with rain. (and i thought it was fun to animate.) yes, this is three frames.
i threw in random things in the animation like the 'thunder', i know there is a lot of inconsistency. i just wanted to do something fast. thanks for the advice and comment.
One of the frames is very bright. Thunder right? well coz its only about three frames long runnin at about 6 frames per second as a guess its just not gonna work coz thunder dnt loop that quick so alas u wld have to make it longer to get round that problem. And that wld mean bigger file size and longer loadin times. Flash can be scripted to input a frame at random and wld still manage to keep the file size small, but this ape dnt know how to do that and it wld take a fairly long time to learn.
My advice when making a loop is to only animate whats aloud to happen repeatedly. Anything that shldnt happen repeatedly shld be avoided.
But dont get me wrong this is really really good and i wld like to see more so keep it up!
