To my knowledge, the only program you can use to create flash anything is macromedia's flash. You can download a free trial of Flash off Macromedia's site and that's all, I think. Try a google search.

But the easiest way to make simple animations is using gif...? at least then you don't have to buy any Flash program - because there are some free gifmakers out there, or you can use pait shop pro, photoshop, or a another good painting program.

But of course, Flash is cooler :grin: (and maybe easier too..)

I believe that will work, I'm not sure. They have a free 30 day trial for it. Try it, can't hurt. :P

I use Flash...a friend of mine has a free imitation version (Nicknamed Crash), however, I don't remember what it's called but it absolutely sucks.
I'm back to make a post or two every couple years...

once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
