Tribute to Kingdom Hearts
I couldn't believe that this was this authors first crack at flash, so I tried to see if I could distinguish all the different techniques he used making it. One of the first scenes two movie objects, one on top of the other with a little opacity to give the effect of a boy floating to the bottom of the ocean. Most of the spectacular animation was done with shape tweening in movie objects, and some scant frame by frame animations. Sparkles on water were created with liberal use of looping of some small trinagles. sparkles trace up and down his keyblade in a small rotating/ fading group of stars, copied over and over again, until the next scene. A series of purple lines gives the illusion of fast movement in another scene, and then some wonderful frame by frame animation, with a perspective change. It ends with a fade out from the original animated image.
