Hi there,

I have completed the design of my website, and i am now doing a bit of flash
animation at the top of the page, but i need some advice on what i can do to
improve my animation to make it look a bit more realistic. I have got the car
going from left to right, gradually stopping at the right hand side, i have got
it looping so you can easily see whats going on at the moment, it obviously
would not be like this when i finish it, but could i have some advice and tips
on how to make this a better animation.

Have the car still and have the wheels as seperate movie clips, rotating.
Have your background be the thing thats changing depending on how fast the
wheels are turning. Have the car bounce(from font hood to back end) softely
about .5 inch every 50 frames (motion tween it) == this gives the effect
that the car is r driving on a realistic road with some bumps.

Looks good :)

Well i not too sure about the theme of it, that why i was going to just have it
move from left to right, then text will appear on the left hand side promoting
what benefits the company has, then when the text is finished, the car will
speed away to the right.

I created the wheels, but the move all over the place, i think i need to
create a pivot point or something, but cant remember how to do that, could you
help?

thanks
