New Improved Walkcycle

Some of you might remember me from a few backgrounds I posted several months ago.  I'm starting work on a Flash based adventure game based on my webcomic Near the Delta.  Here is an updated version of the walkcycle.

Looking good so far.

Some things that you could fix:
-his whole body is jerking back and forth, make it so he's onyl bumping up and down
-you could make the arms bending in the elbows and draw his fingers in a more relaxed position
-his knees are way to high
-you could make his upper body rotate a bit and add some movement to his shoulders

Also, you've mentioned you're using flash. Isn't there an option to keyframe the vertexes, that would give a much smoother animation.

Yeah I see what you mean about the knees.  I think I'll bring his waist up a little bit to fix that.

Actually, I don't know.  I just started using flash, I'm more of a photoshop guy myself.
