Heads Flash Page
Flash Animation is a fun and useful tool for web pages. Surprisingly, it is easy to make simple flash animations and there are free programs on the web for beginners like us. Swish 2.0 is the best free program and has a very friendly user interface. 3-D Flash Animator is another good program, but will insert a flash link into your animations. Here are a couple of flash stories I did along with some simple examples of banners and animations. As with anything, the more time you spend learning how, the better your product will be in the end...
	"Danger Baby" is the story of a small child whose parents are trying to kill him, but he loves them anyway. Alligators and dead chickens in this one.
	"The Boy who could see and touch Monkeys" is a fantastic tale of a parallel world where monkeys are very scarce. If you love monkeys, you'll love this!
	"headsmovie4" is a very short intro movie, one of the first ones I did, It was made with the Swish program, as were the flash stories.
	"headsstoryv.6" is a little longer and a little better, but not much. Making simple flash movies is easy, but really good ones require a lot of expertise...
	Here is an Intro movie I considered using on my Website, but decided not to because it sucked. Still, it shows you some of the possibilities, also made with Swish 2.0.
	This is a simple banner which I've used on my Website. It was made with the 3-D Flash Animator program, all the effects are pre-programmed.
	This is a another banner I've used on my Website. Made with the 3-D Flash Animator program, notice the smiley graphic, it's a link to their site. They insert it after the first couple movies you make...
	A simple animation demonstrating the "morphing" capabilities of 3-D Flash Animator...
	Another simple animation. 3-D Flash Animator has some features that Swish 2.0 does not, such as 3-D objects and text.
Now you know a little something about Flash Animation. People are building whole sites with Flash on the Web these days. The thing about Flash is that it looks cool, and can make your site more eye-catching. Below is a little animation with a pre-programmed rollercoaster effect. Look Ma, I can Flash!
