I bet you are saying, "Wow, another topic on free programs. And guess who the author is, gman1000..."

Well, this time I really need your help. I am looking to go into making little flash animated movies with my friend. *This is what I was making a website for. So, I need a hopefully free flash animator. I would also likes some tips to get me started.

Thanks,

Are you looking for a program or a person to make animations. And since when are you making a website? What is it? Need more info. What kind of videos, how long, sound?

Okay, here I go.

I am making a website. I haven't started since I haven't created any animations.

I am looking into making them myself. I will also do sound (going to buy a mic).

They will be 5-15 min. each.

A 5 to 15 minute flash video that is good takes months of work you know that right. And for your purpose I would just suggest a wordpress blog. If you plan on getting your own domain then just install wordpress. Unless you want to start spending tons of money. And you will have to pay for any decent animation program that I know of. Sorry?

Would 3-D Flash Animator 4 work? Is it decent?

I have heard of wordpress. What is it?

Wordpress is a program that you install to your website(very easy) and it makes an entire website for you where you can post like a blog.

Like this:

You can either have it on wordpress and have a name.wordpress.com or you can download and install to your own site.

Oops forgot about that. Well I don't think a 3d program would do good for 2d videos! :S

Well, you know, make it 2-D, but look 3-D... What do you think would work best? Could you give a top ten or something?

Lol I don't think that's such a good idea.

Your best choice would be look for an older version of flash from macromedia, I am sure you could find one on ebay or something!

Why an older version?

You can get an older version for less than 700$?

Yeah. Thats the reason. Because it won't cost you 700 dollars and is fine for making flash videos! XD

Oh! Okay, how much does it cost? Remember I want good animation, but I would prefer it free, if at all possible.

Well they don't sell it anymore but if you search you might find one cheap. I might be able to help you find a cheap one if you chat with me on MSN.
