Can anyone give me a heads up on animating in flsh. This is an example of what I'm doing.
I want the tentacles to flow out of the bottle and intertwine. Should I do this frame by frame? Any advice ?

Simplest way to do it would be to create a movie clip for each bottle and tentacle.
Put the bottle and tenticle in seperate layers. (bottle on bottom layer.
Create a mask for the tenticle and draw a blob on the first frame. Add a keyframe and make another blob etc etc until the whole tenticle is visible.
then select all frames and click modify>optimise and lose some of the curves to make the file size a wee bit smaller.
Hope this helps.

also keep the frame rate reasonably high (i like 31fps)

thanks for the help. Do you know of any ways to get more of a painted stroke in flash?

Not really but the brush tool has about 6 different settings with slanted edges you could try some of those. frame by frame happens so fast that you won't really notice these types of effects anyway...Good luck!

Nice drawing by the way.

add some wonky sounds when the tenticle appears!

break those all apart and put actionscript on them, some randomization might be in order ;)
