Can anybody recommend an easy to use flash program? I want a program to make flash buttons and also a few flash banners. I have Flash MX and to tell you the truth..i cant figure it out..way too many options...lol. My problem is when I try and learn thru the help files they have, they go thru it step by step on how to do stuff...but they dont tell you why you are doing each step. I need an idiot's guidebook i guess... badgrin.gif and thats why I am in search of an easier program. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Swish is much like Macromedia's Flash proggie. Although a lot of flash experts don't like it cause they claim it is not as powerful the new version of Swish promises to be just as usable as Macromedia's MX.

I dunno what the term "easy" to learn means to you but their tutorials are the same as Flash...

There is a pre made flash where you just enter the links, variables, names, info and it makes the flash from pre made flash templates.
It's called [ Register or login to view links on this board.]

[ Register or login to view links on this board.] Has proper tutorials on how to do flash stuff, and nearlly all of them are on macromedia, so try them out before u go and download any others, chances are the others will more optioned more or less the same if they are just as powerfull

hi Wolf, I have used SwishMax too. It's very easy to use, and gives some great results.
What I find is the best way to work, is to make a series of animations in Swishmax, or Swish V2.0, or whatever you are using, then import them into Flash (if FlashMX is too daunting, get your hands on Flash 4), you can then convert them into movie clips on seperate layers. This gives you much more flexability.
