Your best bet for quick & easy-to-learn flash is SWiSH!!
Go to
www.flashkit.com they have a great forum for both flash & swish.
and there's a free download for swish on there too... don't know what all is included with the freebie, but try it... it's so easy and gives great effects!!
If you want a sample of what SWiSH can do... go to my site:
memepnp.com
just to look and see... let me know if you need any help with it.
Good Luck! :rock:
