Make sure the frame rate is set to 30. Flash defaults to 12fps.

If you have other questions, ask. I'm a Flash guru.

Hey, thanks for the help. that was driving me nuts. Ya know, I got the idea a while ago to make a sidescrolling game with pre-rendered cell shaded characters. Im gonna see if I can learn myself enough flash to do something like that.

Was that it? =)

Pretty much all I needed. What might be nice for these short clips is a replay button. The constant looping isnt very nice looking, But its really not that crucial.

You can go to the last frame, create a keyframe and in the Actions Window tell it to:

stop();

Then if you want to create some sort of image, select it and hit F8 turn it into a movie clip. Highlight it and go to the Actions window, and tell it to:

on(press){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Should be easy as pi!
