More flash animation?

I searched this forum for tips on where to get more flash animation but did not find anything. It would be nice to have more. Not very many come with VS 9. I really like the butterfly one, it adds a lot to my flower garden shots. Does anyone know? Thanks a lot.

The Flash animations are nothing more then Flash (SWF) files. You could do a google search for Flash files or SWF and probably find numerous sites. The kicker is that the flash files included with VS9 are designed specifically for overlaying. The size (720 x 480 for NTSC anyway), and have transparency so the video can be seen through certain places.

The Flash files (SWF) also can not have more then 1 level/layer. In other words, no movieclips(Macromedia MX) or sprites(Swishmax). VS9 will only see the first frame on SWFs with movieclips or sprites.

If you have a flash authoring utility such as Macromedia MX or Swishmax or others you could create your own Flash animations....

Hope that helped...

Thanks for your response. I'm not very creative enough to make these things from scratch so I was hoping for some pre-made templates. I'll do some searches to see what's out there.
