The Alternate (Better) Way to Make a Border

*All of this is after you've resized your image to 60x60.

1. Click the insert new object button

2. Select the color of your border, and then select the paintbrush tool. Use the settings that I have

3. Zoom the image in 5 times.

4. Click the top left corner of the avy, and then click the bottom left. This should make one side of the border. Do this for all 4 sides of the image.

4. Select all frames. To do this, click the first frame, then press Shift+End.

5. Right click on the border object on the left hand side in the object pane, and click "Duplicate object".

6. Delete the first border object (Right click, delete object).

7. Zoom out five times.

That's it for makin a border. You can now click the preview button to see how it looks. The reason why I think this way is better, is because every side of the border will be even, which won't be the case if you use the other way.


How to reduce the size of your image, aka Optimizing

1. Before you do anything to your avy, delete any unnecessary scenes/frames. Then, starting with 1, select every other frame (1, 3, 5, 7, 9...), and then delete them. To do this, click the first frame, and then hold Ctrl, then click every other frame while still holding ctrl. This will cut your number frames in half.

2. Do anything you'd like to your avy; tag, border, etc., but make sure you resize it to 60x60.

3. After adding the tag and all the other stuff you want, click the optimize button.

4. In this window, you will optimize your image. Check how many bytes your image is. If it's over 150,000, which is NT's limit, you will have to optimize it. If it's under 150,000, you are done.

5. As you can see, mine is over the limit. Here is what you do when it is.

a. Put "Dither" all the way down to 0, as it make basically no difference to the outcome of the avy, but reduces the size dramatically. After putting it to 0, if your avy's under the limit, move it up as high as it can go without going over. You are done if it's under the limit, if not, go to the next step.

b. Put the "Colors" down as high as possible until you are under the limit. After you are under the limit, move dither up as far as it can go before going over the limit.

6. You can see the difference in the original avy and the optimized one by the images in that window. The one on the left is the before, and the one on the right is after. You can scroll through the frames to see the difference in each frame.

As you can see, after putting dither down to 0, my avy was under the limit and I didn't have to mess with the colors.

By doing this, you can have a 10-11 second avy that still has pretty good quality.

Here is the final product of the avy used in these examples.

How to add the Firefox Preview function

1. Go to File > Preferences > Preview tab.

2. In the "Other Browsers" section, go to where Firefox is. It should be the same as mine.

3. Now, instead of clicking the preview button, click on the Firefox icon, and it'll preview your image in Firefox, which will show you what your avy will actually look like once it's on NT.

NOTE: This will work for other browsers such as Opera, or whatever browser you use.

Plus...Whenever I make or change the color of my border for frame 1 and want to copy it to the rest of the frames...It won't copy it...instead it will make new frames...in like the 300's.

If you don't understand what I'm saying let me know how to take a screenshot

and I'll show you...
