I've been looking some more, all these "free" flash editors suck. I'd just flip someone who has the real adobe program already a few bucks to get what you want done.

I just might happen to know someone.. lol

Yea thats not too easy bro. Well, i take that back. Not easy for someone just getting into it all. You've got action scripts and all kinds of fun shit to go through. You can probly find a flash gallery script to use.

I know dreamweaver has a few buggy add-ons for it. But even that takes some time and research.

And you made me look like a total fuckin geek. :twisted: Thanks! lol jk

You don't have to use action script for just doing images and animations in
Flash. Even if you do, most of the libraries/classes that come with it will do the work for you. You do, however, have to know a little about frame based animations and working in an IDE. Your best bet if you haven't used it would be to pay someone to do it for you, depending on your technical knowledge. If you are a technical type, it's not a difficult environment to get a basic understanding of to get some animations and images rolling.

Have you looked into JavaFX or OpenLaszlo yet? They're pretty f'ing sweet. Only thing they don't give you is streaming media (OpenLaszlo does but, it only streams SWF files so whats the point), which you can't get from Flash unless you pony up $4500 for the Flash Media Server 2, or write one that supports the protocol yourself, or...well...
