Simple questions regarding editing in Flash

    I would think based on logic that the answer to this is fairly obvious, but I am posting this because I have never edited in Flash and I would like to be sure.

    This design I want to buy was presented to me with some crazy animations, where the buttons zoom in from one side and the logo fades in and all kinds of unnecessary stuff like that..

    I am wondering:

    a) If I will be able to easily remove those animations, so that it just instantly loads the buttons and logo and etc as it is meant to look in its final stage (like when the animations are all done)

    b) If removing these animations will increase the loading speed of the Flash

    c) If it is possible to "crop" the flash so only part of what was once the entire flash entity (including a logo, buttons, banner) could just be saved as one part of it (for instance the banner) Like in Photoshop when you select a part of an image and go to Image->Crop

    d) If these things are easy/intuitive to do, or if anyone answering could give me a some keywords to search on google to find Tutorials to do them.

    Thank you for your time!

    a) To stop buttons from moving, select the first frame in the timeline where a button appears, then, in the Properties palette, change Motion: Tween to Motion: None

    To stop logo from fading in, go to the first frame for the logo in the timeline and change Color: Alpha to 100%

    b) Speed loading? Maybe

    c) Cropping in Flash isn't as easy as in Photoshop. Go to Modify: Document and change the dimensions.

    If you haven't edited in Flash before, it might be worthwhile for you to pay someone to do it for you. Nothing in Flash is easy or intuitive. This is one of those projects that could take forever if you don't know what you're doing.
