Greetings! This is my first posting in this Forum. What an impressive site! Congrats! I am a 3D animator (Maya and 3ds max) and I would like to learn to use Flash to create 2D animations and 2D animatics (previz animations and storyboards). I have read the tutorial on this site and it looks great! Where can I find more of this type of tutorial/tip on the www? I am looking for information that will match the professionalism on this site! Chow! ---

I think Maya and 3ds Max are capable of it too but a 3d program called Swift 3d allows you to export the animations you’ve created into Flash so I guess you could create a 2D animation in a package you’re familiar with and then just export it into Flash. You’ll find a lot of great books on animation in Flash from a Flash published called Friends of Ed ([www.friendsofed.com](http://www.friendsofed.com)) ---

[FlashKit.com](http://FlashKit.com) has tons of tutorials, including a section on animation. But many are user-submitted, so they vary in quality. [Cartoonsmart.com](http://Cartoonsmart.com) has great tutorials but they have to be bought and the free ones don’t cover much in animation.
