how to create a flash e-card in a simple way?

[sunnyday]

Time sure flies! We know Xmas is coming very soon by all the decorations around. I have received lots of Xmas flash e-card from friends last year. How absorbing they are! So I just think how about that I create a Xmas flash e-card for sending to my good friends this Xmas.

Please help me.

Depends on what you want it to do. Making something like this is all design, in nature. You think it, draw it, animate it, send it.

If you are having problems with a specific part or need help with some code then we can help with that. But we need more to go on than what you posted.

Otherwise you can google Flash e-cards and find some ready made ones online and send those. Blue Mountain may still do them, as well as others.

First I would check out Tufat and have a look at their $5 card template.

Thank you. I will try to search some tools in Google.

I want to create a flash e-card with my photos,music,decorations,effect etc.
I need a EXE or SWF file but not a link.
But I don't know flash skills.
It is a very difficult thing for me.
Are there any small tool very easy-to-use?

[sunnyday]

Many people included me think that making flash things is a very difficult thing for those who don’t know flash skills, but I should say this is not the case after tried some flash software.
After using it for several days, I found Flash Slideshow Builde is really easy-to-use and has all the functions I need. Fortunately, I got a big discount from its Xmas sales promotion.
Thank you, jimseo.

Congrats Sunny.

May I just say though, that Flash, just like any other language/program is going to take some learning, but if you are willing to sit for a few days and learn it to a very basic level you will save TONS of money, and not by Christmas discounts

Building everything yourself is far better on the pocket book

There are tons of tutorials for learning Flash (a few I need to finish up to post here) all over the web, and there are forums (like this one) where you can get help if you get stuck with a certain aspect of your creation.

Thanks, BLiZZaRD.

Xmas is coming so soon.

I havn't enough time to learn Flash skills.

[sunnyday]

Macromedia Flash is too complicated for me.
I am not sure that I can learn some basic skill before Xmas.
:P

6 days? I bet you could. But I won't force you.

If ever you are interested, you let me know and I will point you to some great lessons and tutorials to start with.

Thanks again,BLiZZaRD.

I am so interested with flash.
Please give me some great basic lessons and tutorials.
Christmas is just around the corner.
There are so many things to do.
I think I can learn it for the next year.
