A basic guide to animating

Call me stupid but I can't figure out how to make it playable online XD ssssoooo you'll have to download it. Sorry! *help wanted!*

I've animated a my cave lion Abeo in a runcycle and I'm gonna show you how I did it :3 Call it a tutorial if you want, I did in the video... xD
Includes tips to how to make nice-looking smooth animations as easy and fast as possible without using tweening and result in looking all crappy, cheap and "AdventureQuest"-ish..... xD I use the programs Adobe Flash CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Please watch the whole thing to see the final animation!
Time taken:
Part 1-3 took about 3 hours
Part 3-6 I think took 4-5 hours...
making the music took 2 hours
and editing the videos and all, two days, 10 hours or so... god damn it I hate iMovie... Better than windows movie maker though, MWUHaha! xD

You'll probably want to turn off the volume after a few seconds, the song I made is really annoying... XD

I would greatly appreciate any comment, and as much critique as possible!

My next video will probably be some runcycle or something lame, as I'm making a game :3 Maybe I'll make an opening-video or something... hmmm...

Bwaahaa, why does the quality suck so much in the end?? O_o
