Ok I recently got Flash CS5 because I wanna start an animated series with a few friends of mines. I know I gotta learn things like tweening & maybe Action script & I'm willing to if I can find a good enough video/article tutorial. I've also heard I can import my drawings from Illustrator & use those in Flash projects so a link to how to do so will be good as well

Thanks in advance

Simply go on youtube and watch the basic ones. All you need to know is the basic stuff and have fun from that. Not really that much you need to make good lookin stuff.

I learned about Flash watching this series: How to Animate in Adobe Flash CS5.5 by SamGreenMedia2.

It sounds like you have absolutely no animation experience whatsoever. If I were you, I wouldn't join your friend's little project quite yet. Animation is a skill that takes years to get good at. Start small.

No I don't & weren't planning on starting on a series soon. We all gotta learn some stuff before it happens
