Flash!

[slipgun]

I'm interested in getting started with Flash animations... or is Shockwave a better option?

And what will I need? Just the Flash from Macromedia's site? How about tools like Swift3D?

Flash 5.0 - it's not free.

Of course, you can always try it first.

Then Flash 5 is all I need? Yeah, I know it's free, but the price doesn't matter *hint, hint*

Yeah. To make flash movies all you need is Flash 5 - or an earlier version if you want. Do the tutorials that come with it first. Very helpful. But the easiest is to just sit and fiddle with it.

Flash and Shockwave Players are both free Web Players from Macromedia. Together, they bring you the media content on the Internet. Each has a distinct purpose. Flash Player delivers fast loading front-end Web applications, high-impact Web site user interaction, interactive online advertising, and short to medium form animation. Shockwave Player displays destination Web content such as interactive multimedia product demos and training, e-merchandising applications, and rich-media multiuser games.
That's the difference. Very little. http://www.sharkyforums.com/ubb/smile.gif
