Hi there.

There is a program just called Flash by Macromedia which does Flash anims. There is also Director which allows you to do some more complex stuff.

Adobe (who are currently sueing Macromedia) have a new package called LiveMotion which also does Flash anims.

I think 30 day demonstrations are available for all of them.

Ceenda man! Thanks a lot! Well, I didn't know that Adobe also has one! Yeppee!

Heh, don't get mad at me for saying this, but..

I usually download a warez version to try it out, if the company doesn't offer a demo. Don't keep the warez thing for more than a week or you'll be considered a "bad guy"

If I am correct...
Macromedia released the source code for Flash 3, because they knew another company would want to make an editor (they were about the release Flash 4). That is why LiveMotion doesnt compare to Flash, especially since Flash FIVE is coming out.

Rinaldo: Apparently, Adobe patented their interface, you know, the one with the tabs and layers selection (i.e. the interface from Photoshop).

Adobe said to Macromedia "Look, you're blatantly using our interface, stop it!" .

Macromedia ignored Adobe...

"Right!" said the guys at Adobe this means War(or, a court case at the least)!

Livemotion doesn't have a lot of the features flash does. And there is no 30 day tryout (damn stupid save limited). flash has 30 day trial tho.

ceenda- What are Adobe sueing for now?
