Hi,

There are many Flash authoring utlities available. Just do a Google search for Flash utility, or Flash programs. This depends on how much money you are willing to spend. The elite, industry standard, of course is from Adobe Macromedia.

I use a much cheaper authoring program called Swishmax. You can check it out here: http://www.swishzone.com

Hi, (showme state...

)

I originally started using Swish 2.0 (now discontinued). It was basically for creating banners, text, fairly simple stuff. They then have really grown. Swishmax can do just about everything that Macromedia's software can. I primarly used it for website design. It works great for photo slideshows, you want to display on the web.

Yep, I really like it. I had it for about a year or so before I started learning what the program can do. I use it for fancy text titles, and lower thirds. If you get it, I suggest going to Vasst's website and purchasing the Lower Thirds tutorial CD by Travis White:

Lower Thirds, is the titles, graphics, scrollers that are positioned in the Lower Third of the picture. When you watch TV, especially news such as Fox, CNN, Headline News, all that stuff on the bottom is known as the Lower Thirds.
