Please read the forum descriptions before you go off posting your threads randomly in any forum.

A good animations program would be Adobe ImageReady or Ulead Gif Animator.

Another good animation program is Jasc Animation Shop 3. It has some nifty effects, but it's compression isn't too good.

But nothing compares to Macromedia Flash MX when it comes to animations, whether they be SWF or GIF.

It has a steep learning curve, but once you know the basics, you're good to go.

I have animation shop 3 its good, but as was said earlier it has poor compression.

Can anyone who uses Flash MX (Shannon?) suggest some easy starting tutorials please? I've had a look around on the internet, but most are quite bad. Thanks

www.FlashKit.com
www.Were-Here.com

But I suggest a book, you can get it on Amazon for a fairly cheap price. "Flash MX For Dummies".

 

[donbenni]

I'll try not to take that the wrong way

I am quite profound with Flash MX. The learning curve isn't anything compared to Photoshop, but thats just my opinion.

http://www.actionscript-toolbox.com
http://www.spoono.com
http://moock.org/webdesign/flash

Those are some good sites but I personally think the best flash tutorial site is flashkit.com - as Lee K mentioned.

MX Flash has a pretty good set of basic tutorials and lessons built right into the program under help!!

Those samples are really good! - I especially like the maze. - The lessons are really what helped me get my flash skills up and working.

Like hanker said, read through the tutorials that come with Flash. They are great and will get you into the animation side of things. As for actionscripting, spending a few dollars on a book would be a wise investment.

I haven't really gotten into actionscripting yet. I only know the basic commands like stop();, gotoAndPlay(1);, etc.

If you want some tutorials, check out some of the well known sites like Spoono and Robouk. Just remember that you'll need to know the basics of Flash before you go reading tutorials on the internet. Like I said earlier, read the tutorials (Help > Tutorials) that came with Flash before anything.

I suggest a forum aswell. www.TutorialForums.com I have posted this a few times already but its owned by Robouk.com, Absolutecross.com and Spoono.com. Its very popular and its where i've learnt just about everything I know. Its great for everything from Flash to Photoshop to HTML. You'll see me on there as Infection.

do any of the programs u guys are talking about happen to be free to download?i could only find 15 day trials for ulead gif animator.could u give me a few links to where i can download them?

 

[TokyoDrifta]

Well, I design websites and vector art in STUDIO MX, so im pretty DAMN good in flash and fireworks. You can download a 30 day trial of flash mx from www.macromedia.com and jasc animtion whatever you can get at www.jasc.com with paint shop pro 7 as a 30 day trial. Good Luck!

You did read the tutorials that came with Flash, right?

 

[Lee_K]

Well I got a book to learn it and that was well worth the money! Its much easier to learn it away from your pc in your own comfort. A book I recommend that you can get on Amazon is "Flash MX For Dummies".

 

[Someguyinfisher]

yeah i read em.
