i was wondering what the flash program (s) you need to make simple animations. ( short stick figure movies etc)

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 (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.

i suggest using adobe livemotion.. its fairly simple even though im not the greatest at it

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.

there is a few programs i can think of that do flash, swish id say is the most user friendly
there is also swift3d which is for more 3d flash stuff
