Hello there! I have experience in flash through art classes in school, and Being a 16 year old
on a low budget, I was curious if there were any flash like programs out there for free? I know free
is pushing it lol... but Im desperate and my creative imagination needs to be released. I'm just
looking for something that has the basic feel and capabilities of flash. Im looking for something
that will be vector based, will animate, and will allow sounds to be added into the background!
Any information would be awesomely appreciated! Thanks much!...

Hey, I was wondering, In Flash you can import pictures to use in your movie or whatever. I did
that, and I wanted to edit it. though, for some reason I couldn't. I couldn't erase, or draw
on any imported pictures. Is there a way to make them editable? Any help would be greatly
appreciated....

Flash does not deserve to get the negative vibe that it has been getting. ie flash sucks. I have
done a movie in my mind now if I can just get these programs to behave. My main problem is I am
useing way to many programs and my brain is going to explode. I know you should learn one and learn
it well but my problem is liking different ones for different things. I have noticed that people
like Corel draw and I have never used it. Problem is with graphics that all the programs work
differently. PSP 8 is my fav but I have an old program that I like much better for cropping e...

Ok, I am creating a short flash movie and I need some help. My first two frames is my loader, a
basic, "IfFrameLoaded; Goto" type function. The next 9 frames is a small animation that I want to
loop for exactly 20.02 seconds, and then I want to move from that animation and background music,
into another animation and background sound. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to do this. Is
there some way I can count the amount of time that a flash file has been loaded, and then have it
switch to another layer with the other animation and sound on it? A "Goto; Layer 2, Frame ...

I'm having some trouble loading flash content and sound together. I would like for the content
of the flash movie to load up exactly when the sound does, but usually the sound loads a little
faster than the flash and the content is a little lagged/slow playing before it kicks in and
sync's up. Could anyone provide some insight as to how I would load the content and sound
together, so that it does not lag? P.S. I've already tried putting the sound in the first frame
of the flash, but it does not seem to help. Thanks in advance! /smile.gif' border='0' ...

The other day, I was browsing through a magazine and an advert happened to catch my eye. It was for
a product called 'Xtivity". So I decided to have a look at the xtivity homepage , to find out a
little more about what this product was. Anyway, judging by what they say on the site, it looks
like a flash creation tool, designed more for graphic designers who want to use flash but who
aren't worried about all the behind the scenes stuff. One feature, which grabbed my attention,
is being able to import your .PSD (photoshop) files into the program and keep each ...

I have both Flash and Photoshop and I wanted to work with more proffesional tools (even if they are
$6000), does anyone use Maya? I have a trial verson from their website itself (www.alias.com)

I need to import a WMV into flash 5, but I'm having a very hard time doing so. Obviously, I
cannot import it directly. I have tried using DivX Doctor to change the WMV into an MPG (which
works) and then importing the MPG into Ulead Gif Animator, so that I could save the MPG as a gif,
and import it into flash. However, whenever I attempt to import WMV that I've converted into
MPGs into Ulead, I always get an error and Ulead shuts itself down. This ONLY happens with MPGs that
were once WMVs. Does anyone know how I can fix this, or know of a better way to convert a...

Greetings! I am working on a project for my work which entails converting a 1,000-or-so page
manual into an electronic format for ease of transport. I had previously done this project using a
browser (ie) to open various file formats such as .doc, .pdf, .jpg, .gif etc... , but today our IS
dept decided we cannot author anything to use a browser for security reasons. So now my delimma is
- how to display all file formats using an all-in-one program (program must be idiot proof). I was
thinking to use flash for the GUI and some active content which would let me v...

Can anyone help me with this problem I seem to be having with flash?? I know this is probably some
stupid little setting somewhere I have to tweak but I can't find it. I'm trying to put a
picture into flash on the canvas. I have a seperate layer for it. Nothing else is on the layer.
Properties for the picture is set at 100 % quality. My publish settings are set at 100% quality for
Jpegs and I've tried every setting I can find but the picture keeps displaying at a low
resolution when I preview my movie. It displays fine on the design screen when I test ...
