Flash CS3

Flash allows you to create animated movement and effects.  This new version shouldn’t confuse previous users, but for those new to the program, the most recent edition is probably a good place to start.

The basic interface is still the same, and the basics can be found here: http://www.depauw.edu/it/dml/manuals/flash_interface.asp.
