i tried download.com but it asked me what program i wanted, out of like thirty...i didnt know which one it was.

i still havent got one yet.

flash costs a shitload. i think its around $500. you can always download it from Limewire, but you can expect FBI at your doorstep the next day.

"get" yourself a copy of paintshop pro 9, it comes with animation shop for gif files :cool:

thanks alot, right now i have paint.net......it says i could do animations too but i would have to save each picture and then load it into a movie maker i guess.

thats takes too long, the one that came with my dell windows millenium edition was perfect. i didnt have to save any pictures, just draw straight onto each frames and press play.

thanks though for the help.

I've been doing this for awhile, I mean I've had a friend doing it and the feds aren't knocking yet. Hold on someones at my door :D

Jasc software animation shop

(From the same folks that make paint shop pro)

yups..i used paint shop pro and micromedia.

thank heavens we dont have FBI in NZ..

'oh shit..!!black helicopter overhead'

i just downloaded it, and it looks complicated as hell.
all i know how to do is open a picture file.

to the left..there should be an instructional section as to how to use it

Check this site out http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Paint-Shop-Pro/1 I use this for photoshop. I think you have to register (it's free) this is a good site that will teach you how to use Paintshop.

Edit: Sorry I mis-read, I thought you downloaded paintshop. Just do a google search for tutorial's using that program, if it comes to it.
