Hey, I’m a new user to flash, and want to start developing a site from scratch. I was wondering what does everyone use to make their images(backgrounds, buttons, interfaces, etc.) with? I have heard that freehand and illustrator are good tools to use and possibly photoshop, because I can’t seem to produce any intricate or nice designs with flash alone.

Also out of curiosity what do you think the creator of this site used to make(other than flash ; )) his site, and how difficult was it to make (rough estimate, in-comparison to other sites you’ve seen or done).

Thanks for your help

Well For animation i usally draw everything in flash. Some times i make some thing in photoshop and then animate it.

I do want to say most site you will make you will have to make from scratch because ripping sucks.

Kirupa Made this site with Frontpage.
