Animator vs Animation (Flash)

A classic Flash animation about a fight between a stick figure and his creator.

It's a struggle between a stick figure and his creator, using items on the Flash toolbar! Watch as the stick figure fights back against the cursor.

I started my digital life with Flash 4, teaching students the magic of keyframes before the world moved on. If you were there, you remember:

Slash Syntax: Before dot notation, we lived in the world of /root:variable and Tell Target.
The Muscle Memory: Hitting F6 to create a keyframe and F5 to extend frames was automatic.
The Teacher's Challenge: Explaining why a "Motion Tween" broke (it was always because they didn't convert to a Symbol first!).

To all my former students and the pioneers of the Flash 4 era—thank you for the memories.
