Animating the character

After the meeting and the feedback from the tutors I went away and began to make the alterations to the site. The first thing I did was to get the character to wave on screen. I did this by going into flash and double clicking on the alligator on screen which brought up the properties panel. I then double clicked the character again and this brought up shapes in the properties panel, then I selected just the hand of the character and converted it into a movie clip and called it hand_mc. The next step was to cut the hand from the character and paste it in a new layer underneath layer 1 and call it hand. I then selected the hand and transformed it using the transform selection tool, with the hand selected a dragged the white dot from the centre of the tool to the right corner of the tool with my mouse. Then I added keyframes to both layers going from frame 1 to frame 12 and moved the dot back to its starting position and then added keyframes from frames 12 to 20 on both layers. I then added a classic tween from frames 1 to 12 on the hand layer and then did the same from frames 12 to 20. I then tested it worked and there was no errors so I played it and the character starting waving however the speed was too fast so I just just the speed of the frame to make him wave smoother.
