Hi, I'm really new to WHT. I want your help folks. I need a free tool (or a cheap one) with which I can create bright looking, large, high resolutions flash headers for websites. I really like large animated flash headers of corporate sites. I want to know, how to create that kind of slide show based flash headers. Any tool? Or they just use Adobe Flash? What do you think. If you have any link to tool download or any relevant tutorial, please post it. I don't need basic flash slide show creating tutorials, I just need those URL embedded, high resolution flash header tutorials. And if you have any suggestion of flash tool, with which I can create easy flash based text animation like MS PowerPoint please append it.

I searched Google. All I've got is something like Sothink Tools. And all other tools are free trials and not meeting exactly what I need. Those free trials not even let me save those swf files to save.
You are probably best going to Lynda.com and doing some professional tutorials there.. you can get a basic understanding of flash animation with the Flash course there. but to do what your asking you need to use ActionScript to get the custom ability your looking for with the embedded links.. This is not a hard task to do in flash... you jsut make your header animation on a loop... and then add "sections" where the image is click-able.. If you want the click-able sections to animate then it would be a little more work.. but nothing to hard to tackle once you understand Flash and ActionScript.. I haven't seen a "Generator" and if there is one.. its not going to help you too much because the code they will be using is limited to whatever they have programmed.. you better off once again learning actionscript and doing it yourself.. its about an hour or two's worth of work..
Thanks for your response and encouragement. I've already started learning flash. Is Action script very hard?
