Ever wanted even more control when using the Bone tool? In this tutorial, Paul Trani shows you how to use Flash Professional CS5.5 to pin the tail of inverse kinematics (IK) bones to the stage while posing an armature. Pinning support enables you to isolate armatures for more precise control when posing.

Using the Bone tool in Flash Professional to link objects together, you can easily make and control advanced animations, such as a character running or a chain with movable links that falls with natural grace. Watch as Paul Trani tackles that case in particular in this tutorial.

In this video Paul will show you how to not only use inverse kinematics in Flash, but also how to make movement feel more lifelike by giving it some natural springiness.

Learn how to use the Spring properties of inverse kinematic bones. See how the Strength and Damping properties can help you create naturalistic movement of animated armatures.

Discover how to use the new “Bone Tool” to bring the power of Inverse Kinematics into your Adobe Flash Professional CS4 projects. Paul Burnett shows you how it’s done in this Flash Tutorial.

At the heart of international design agency Vasava is a father, a son, and a passion for creating jaw-dropping innovative design. In this episode we talk about how Flash CS4 Professional now includes inverse kinematics.

Use inverse kinematics to add motion and distortion to objects. Use Bone and Bind tools to create armatures and animate them in the Timeline.

Flash guru Grant Skinner shares his thoughts on Flash Professional CS4, the new inverse kinematics feature, Flash Player 10 and ActionScript 3.0, and offers a few words of wisdom for beginners.
