    Animation Question

    Hello.
    I am making an RPG game for a class and I don't know how I should do animations for my characters. I know flash, so I thought there might be a good way to somehow incorporate a flash movie of the character into the game and be able to run the characters animations from that. I'm not talking about the walking animation, I'm talking about the attack animations within the battles. Please help me if you can.

    Danke.

    alright a common way to do it is to save many different phases of the animation into one bmp and just blit the next chunk every time to get the animation

    I would think (although I really don't know) that you could use a DHTML control to display the flash animation. DHTML allows you to show all the other fancy HTML-related jazz, so would flash animations be any different?

    It might be worth investigating.

    I just dislike using controls in games...
    but since it's kind of hard programming your own vector engine there is a flash control coming with flash as far as I know...
