First Animation

Recently got Flash and started trying to animate a little. Here is my first. It is just a simple ball bouncing.

decent for a first try.
but why does it skew the bottom on the second bounce?

I'm not a doctor, will never be a doctor, take what I say with a grain of salt and look it up for yourself.
Not bad. Keep practicing. I suck at animations.

What do you mean by "skew"? I don't understand.

it might just be my eyes playing tricks..
but it looks like the ball loses it's round shape and splits the top when it hits the top, and does the same thing to the bottom on the second bounce

The ball squashes and stretches when it bounces. This makes it more life like and cartoonish.
If you look closely the ball is kinda ripped from the top, u can also see this if u click and drag on some of the frames. Otherwise, well done :)

When you squash and stretch, you're also supposed to adjust the acceleration/deceleration. It takes longer for it to go up than it goes down. It also slightly pauses when it lands and when it reaches maximum height. AND the height won't remain the same.
Here's my ball animation. Not the best, but it's alright.
