Four-legged motion

I have been doing countless Flash tutorials, but all of them are of humans. So today, I found horse motion images on the web (http://nicholnl.wcp.muohio.edu/DingosBreakfastClub/BioMech/BioMechWalk1.html), then traced the outlines in Flash. So now I have a horse walking template. I will position my zebra legs to fit within the rough position of these outlines. There are 12 individual outlines within this animation.

Oh, and I also found another Flash tutorial site that offers character packs. I could buy a walking horse character, but the movements are a little too cheesy. I think I can make my zebra look better by using what I made in Flash. But if anyone wants to get 4-legged motion cycles, go to: http://www.cartoonsmart.com/four_leg_cycles.html

Goodnight!
