For those who might find it useful, I'm releasing a quick little tool for Flash that essentially takes a BannedStory 4 spritesheet (RIP BannedStory, this will have to change when we get a new simulator) and animates all the symbols for you. This is a time-saver for when you don't want to manually animate the stands or the walks for each emotion. Of course, the usefulness of this tool depends on your animation style but yeah, just thought I'd contribute to the community once again.

First, you're going to want to download the zip file and then unzip its contents into this directory below (obviously your file path will be a little different based on your username and Flash version.)
C:\Users\Cham\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CC 2014\en_US\Configuration\CommandsUsage
Import your spritesheet into your Library- the format should resemble something like this which most of y'all are probably familiar with.

Next, run the BannedStory Batch Symbol Animator.

Now, customize your parameters accordingly. All my sprites are in "Cham4" so I filled that in under the "Folder" text field:

Great, press "OK" and let it run. It will probably lag up your Flash, so just sit back for a little and wait.
If you get an error saying "OLE Embedding not allowed" or something to that effect, do not mind it; the operation should have completed. If you're unsure, just run the script again.
Alright, I've put it as an attachment below. Enjoy! If you have any questions, let me know!
