what do you recomend for making flash files?
im not very intrested in learning much actionscript at the moment, but i keep getting more and more customers who want sites with lots of flash effects.
im looking for something that has lots of built in "bling bling" type effects,
relatively easy to use gui, and supports rapid development.
i do have a copy of flashmx, but i looked around and saw there seems to be a lot of programs which might make things a bit easier and faster. i think i tried swish a year ago, and it seemed decent, but looking for recomendations.
you could consider me a total noob to flash.
thanks.
recomend a flash program

The only way you can make flash (.fla) files is by using FlashMX....all other programs will output .SWF files because the .FLA format isn't opn source.
You can import the SWF files into an FLA, but it isn't the easiest method.
i suggest getting to grips with FlashMX. it look intimidating at first, but you'll soon get the grip of it after reading some tutorial. Check out http://www.flashkit.com

For lots of bling bling without the overhead of the FlashIDE, check out Swish.
Actionscript is not hard to learn, but the complexity of the FlashIDE can be intimidating at first. If you code PHP, you will pick up AS easily. With the capabilities of AS in FlashMX, you can use [http://ming.sourceforge.net]Ming[/url] to code your flash files in PHP. Here's an old Ming tute on creating a simple banner.
