If you want to put animation into your website this is the way to go. Many people are able to view flash on their computers. If they aren't it is easy to get a download to view flash graphics and animations.

Good software; however, it seems to lack in a lot of graphical perspectives. It would be nice if it incorporated more tools and elements from photoshop and fireworks. In any case, it is still great software, just takes some getting used to if you come from the two software sets mentioned above. Great for making compact movies and eventually great websites and web add-ons. Definitely a needed upgrade if you are using ImageReady for web movies.

There are so many new and upgraded features now that Adobe has revamped this product! Flash 8 was really great to work with, but this is just wonderful! The animations I'm creating are smoother, the tools are much easier to manipulate and the scripting isn't nearly as difficult. Anyone who uses this should invest in the book that goes with it. All of the steps are there for only twenty dollars. --B

This software can't be replaced by any other, it's just amazing!

I will admit that I am still in the learning process with this software, but so far it has been really easy and a lot of fun.

I think this is one of the best products out there. Once you get used to it's distinct drawing tools philosophy, there's nothing that can't be done as Adam Phillips masterfully showed us over at BiteyCastle(dot)com. I use it to tell stories in 2d through character design, backgrounds, coloring and animation. I also use it to illustrate almost anything. Forget about simple banners with prices that flicker. This tool leads the way for web design.

flash is such a fun program to play around with. i'm not an animator by any means, but i love this program. simple to use.

I am very rusty in this so Ill be training this week on cartooning. I know I can draw characters right ouit of here so ill be doing it this week. Wish me luck dude.
