How do you make something flash? Like, instead of:

|||||||||||

it’s

|-|-|-|-|-|

eww, that’s an yucky explanation, but… uh… like a movie clip to flash a lil as it plays, how do I do that?

Another thing, is there any techniques as how you would manuver your camera? Or, make it instead of just a movie, make it look like you’re actually zooming further into a location (so pretty much 3D)?

Flash isn’t made for 3d, so it takes a lot of work to simulate it. There are programs like Swift 3d that you can use to generate 3d flash animations, and then import them into flash to control them.
