A New First Timer! Introduction! And Information about me!

Hello! I am new being here in the forums. I heard about this site for quite a while and now its time I should sign up.

My name is Amber (Ling is not my actual last name). Amberling is more like my username I used in most sites (Yet there are other Amberlings as well).

I am a beginner myself and most of the time, I self taught myself. By self taught, I meant like I look through tutorials and other amazing animation videos. Of course I have friends that helped me out!

I first started animating through sony vegas 13 but now I switched my style to adobe flash pro cs6. I was inspired to animate in flash from Derek's tutorials and a few of my friends as well. I still used sony vegas 13 but only for effects and final rendering.

I am not planning to be any big or being noticeable. My goal was to entertain my audience and seeing the smiles on everyone's face. I don't like being in anyone's way or get anyone upset so I hope our happiness makes our day.

I am also a digital artist using a tablet called Wacom Intuos Draw. However, I do not have much skill about it.

Now more about me...

I recently turned 20 on 5/15.
I'm a christian but I am more of a weak christian meaning I do not judge Most of my friends are gay or w/e and its really hard to offend me so good luck on that.
I own 2 guinea pigs.
My major in college is veterinarian technician (I'm a beginner so please don't trust me LMAO)
I am probably one of the most chillest person in the world.
I'm a girl with a guy personaility. (I'm not a transgender, i was born like that).
Once you know me, you will regret it. I can be the world's craziest girl, espcially with sugar rush.
I have a hard time understanding things so it takes me a long time to learn something new.
Its hard for people to understand what I said unless I talk slow. My voice is somewhat deep but people said its average.
I love making jokes and puns but do not worry! You will not see them in the forums (I read the rules, I know i'm a nerd for following them).
I play maplestory (Scania Server).
My favorite maple animation style is 2D (3D is alright. Too much of it just doesn't seem right).
I am more of a story person than a fighter so most of my animations are story-based.
I am very compassionate and empathy so if you ever needed comfort, I will try my best!
I originally joined the forums to practice more and possibly gaining more friends. I have a discord and a skype (I rarely used skype ever since I moved to discord).

Other than that... I think thats pretty much it.
I have more information about myself but its just some very personal and dark stuff. Only my closest friends know about it.

So yep, its nice meeting everyone here! Lets hope we can all get along!

I think you have made it everyone's goal to prove you wrong on this.

Welcome to the forums, Amber. It seems you're pretty well acquainted with animation except now you're migrating programs.

So here are some resources that you could use to help you get started with Flash:

spritefan2's Flash Tutorials
Maplemation VCAM
Spriters Resource
Juan's Public Resources (check his signature)
Ciax's Public Resources
CCShinobi's Giveaways: 2015 | 2016
Ainn's Public Resources

There's been word that even more resources will become public for newcomers as you continue to interact with the community, but until then, I hope you find solace knowing that the Tutorial section and the Discord server are open to helping you learn.
