In this video tutorial I will show you the basics you need, to understand how to use Flash. I specifically am using Flash CS5, but everything described can be used in any version of Flash.

The ultimate goal of this tutorial is to explain how to create complicated cartoon animations in Flash. Because this tutorial has been asked for many times, I will go into great depth and will explain all that I know about drawing as well. This will be a long journey, but in the end I think you’ll have many skills that you previously had not.
