I don't know what to do first!
I have created small animations (like my signature) but I even had to use a program (unFREEze) for that. :(
Since I so bad at creating small insignificant animations, how can I expect myself to create high quality flash movies?
I have great ideas, but I can't even draw a legible "O" on microsoft paint!
For instance I had an idea to create a solar eclipse movie where the text line shine in at each phase of the process, but how can I create a movie from it if I cant even draw a circle? Is there any FREE software that can save me? Or am I doomed?
By the way I don't know much computer code :oops:


Thanks for reading this,

You may want to try the old art of tracing.. Now I`m not saying to steal somone elses work. What I mean is you take a picture, Import it into flash and then add a layer and trace over it to make it look cartoony or whatever and add your own feel to it and go from there, plus it will give you better skills as you go. Another suggestion for flash is use shapes like boxes and circles to creat your animations or drawings, it helps a lot. Or draw straight lines and make a simple face (for example) and then alter the lines to make them round and go from there, altering the lines and adding points when needed (alt+drag). kind vague but hope it helps a bit.
