How do you make your own flash on your computer? Is it hard? Were do you go to do that?

Yes, it is. I tried it once, but I can't get used to it. It's nothing like Photoshop or any other Adobe software. It's a piece of software called Flash MX, but I hate using it, and if I ever made anything out of it, I forgot how. I suspect there are other programs that have other features that Flash MX doesn't, but I don't know much about them.

Flash MX by Macromedia is the way to go. It's not that hard to use (by use I mean.. make things move around) once you play with it for a bit but animating is rather difficult (it's hard to make things like walking and talking look natural..).

Like AngelusMortis said, Flash is [i]not[/i] friendly to artists. The way you draw things in flash is totally different from the way most people do it (by hand or with photoshop or gimp or paint or whatever..). It took me about a month to become comfortable with drawing stuff.. And then I ended up redrawing all the artwork I did in that month because it looked horrid the first time.

A good thing to look up now would be Motion Tweening, seeing as that's the major thing you'll be using to animate in Flash.
