I am trying to work out the smartest way to do an animation and I hope someone can help me here.
I have a scene with water and 2 boats and I need to get the boats moving as if they are swaying in the water at the dock. The user will be able to click one of the boats and that will lead to another scene that have similar motion to make it look alive. This is only one part of a broader project I am working on. There is going to be many such scenes like I described with the boats where some objects will give slight motion to make it look alive. Each scene leads to another scene. The way I figured I would do this is animating the scene in flash without much programming if any at all, ie, using the timeline. And then my concept what to export that as some kind of flash and then be able to use that flash in my overall flash project. Does that make sense?
For an example kind of how the scene will feel I have included a link here to a site:

So my question is, is what I described above a good way to go about it? If so does someone more understand how they would do it? or is there a better way to go about it?
Or on second thought, maybe it should I should do it in After Effects and export it as a flash? and then use that in my overall project?
Anyone?
Thanks for any help!
