I made this for practicing purposes only.
I am still learning how to animate it and am getting used to dealing with the timeline.
The thing that really annoys me is the white lines on the hands and feet.
Any ideas why that happens?
(When I export to swf it works).

Click on HQ on the video player, to see in high quality to have a better idea what I am talking about.

P.S.: animtion is not really ok, but I would like to get rid of the wihte lines before spending any more time on this.

I already pointed you to the reason for those little lines. Seriously, this forum has a search function.

I'll...try...to...speak...slowly.

The ankle, for example. The color you are seeing is from the calf. Both it and the upper part of the boot share the same vector line at the foot. A couple of way to fix it.

1. Terminate the calf further up under the boot, so it doesn't share that edge.

2. Preferable, so as not to add unneeded points, just resort the shapes so that shapes on the same side of that edge are not adjacent in the shape order. Should be ordered like:
3-upper boot shape
2-foot shape
1-calf shape

That is the file.

Look, I am just looking for help.

You never actualy saw the animation, so I guess it is alright to ask again, providing the link to the animation.

It probably is something very stupid that I am doing that is causing that.
It almost certainly is.

I do not see the white lines within ASP.
So, they should not apper on the exported movie, right, after all, ASP is an WYSIWYG editor.

Also, when I export to SWF, it works perfectly well.
Of course, it can be the shapes that I have created, but every change that I make results in the same white lines.

So, I hve no idea where to go to get help on this.

The search functionaly in the forum?
I have tried it.
Maybe I am looking for the wrong words or expessions.

Anyway...
I just wanted to show what I am doing.

ASP is an WYSIWYG editor

Nope, there is plenty that only shows when rendered.

I keep getting the sneaky suspicion that you just totally ignore the answers you get and just keep asking, but I'll try one more time here.

I looked at your file. Since the foot is a separate layer, your only option to fix this is 1 above. Just don't create that calf shape on the same edge that shows that little line when rendered.

Hello Synth.
I did as you said.
I have reordered the layers and it looks great now.
Thanks for the tip.
Now, I am going to redraw the chest/neck joint, because I can not swap them, but I feel much better now that I know it works.
I was going crazy, because I could not tell why it would not work.
I will upload the new version to youtube tomorrow, after fixing the neck.
But, in the end of the day, I feel great and am very satisfied wih ASP

Thanks again for your patience.
Cheers - and good nigth (00:22 down here, in Brazil).
