    So I have no experience in flash, I have adobe flash but as always, adobes software interface is so damn corn-fusing.

    I am trying to make a flash header or banner, but don't know where to start. Does anybody know of good tutorials for beginners?

    Also, is it possible to make flash out of a ready made PSD or PNG?

    Thank you!!!!!

    Why dont you try Macromedia Flash Professional 8.0. The interface is great, and a set of Very User friendly tutorials and lessons accompany the installation.
    I personally find it more useful and easy to use than adobe products.

    :D

    Hi, you can perform most of the tasks done by clever folks by using Swish. It has a 30 day trial as well.

    Swish is largely the same thing but it has a learning curve of about an hour vs. flash which is, for all intents and purposes, its own language.(action scripting)

    Give it a whirl and I hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Thanks Nigel,

    Sounds perfect for me. All of this flash stuff is just so damn hard & when I go to hire somebody to make one for me they dont understand what I want! Thats why I want to be able to do it by myself.
