Posing Pony Puppets for Still Images - A TutorialNote: Pics are broken. I have no idea how to fix it.

Hello guys! If you’ve been to the MLP Forums, more specifically the Ask a Pony forum, you’ve probably gone to my Ask Rainbow Dash thread. It uses pictures of Rainbow Dash, made using things called pony puppets. This tutorial will teach you how to pose these puppets for your own pictures.
First, what are pony puppets?
Pony puppets are objects in Adobe Flash that are used as characters in My Little Pony-related animations. They’re made of many movable parts that are put together in a process called “rigging”. This will likely be familiar to people who work with 3D animation. We are not going over rigging, however. That’s for the riggers to do. We’re going to be posing a premade Rainbow Dash puppet.

So I decided to take my existing Twilight Sparkle vector and add a magic glow to her horn. I think I did good.

Nice job on the glow what effects did you use?

I followed the tutorial at [link], but instead of merging the inner glow with another object, I used a gradient. It's not the best way, but it's the best way I could think of in Flash.

Cool. That makes sense. Thanks

There's no glow effect applied. There's 2 identical shapes. The outer shape have around (30% opcacity), and the inner shape uses a gradient that goes from transparent to color. Might be some different methods in use, but that's not the point.

That sounds similar to the above response to some extent.

~Kramze Feb 7, 2013

Well his comment wasn't there when I wrote this...

Yeah that's ok I was just pointing it out. It's not like you we're copying. I didn't know how to respond.
