Here are a list of programs I use to make my flash animations:
I mostly use the Macromedia Studio 8. It includes Flash Professional 8, Fireworks 8, and Dreamworks 8. I don't use Dreamworks for my series, though. Dreamworks is for making websites. Flash Professional 8 is, of course, the main program used to make the animations. Fireworks is what I use to make the backgrounds of the sprite sheets transparent. I also use Fireworks to make original pictures. I also use Microsoft Paint. What a surprise, huh? That's how I make my custom sprites. I also use Audacity and Sound Recorder. Audacity to raise and lower the pitch of different sounds, and to convert it to WAV format, and Sound Recorder to loop the music tracks I use in my animations. I might have some more programs I use, but that's all that I can come up with for now.
I might later repost this, so as to make it on the front page.

Interesting way of making flash. Never knew you would use MS paint

It doesn't play a big part, but it's still pretty important.
