Flash (?)

[ChronosKingdom]

Hi, I'm new to Newgrounds and Flash, and since I didn't see a thread for it, I was wondering which one do I get? I'm not looking for much of the pop and bang in Flash 8 or 7, since I'm going to be working on animation ONLY--either simple FBF or motion tweening, kerning if I need subtitles, adding in some music and sound effects here and there (for which I can just as easily enlist the assistance of Windows MovieMaker or some kind of music program). I know that Flash 3 and 4 are probably pretty cheap now, but they also don't perform very well by comparison. So, does, say, Flash 6 or 5 do what I want, and not yank on the wallet so much?

Thanks,
CK

It's really hard to even get anything lower than Flash 8, so go with that.

I'd say get 6. Its pretty much the only "old" one that is still used.

Thank you, that helps. I'm not having much luck finding Flash 6, but if I can get it, I will. :)

Rather than getting Flash MX (6) i'd get 2004 if it isn't much more, the look is nicer, lol.

If you seriously are just using it for animation and aren't intrested in filters and little bits like that then no need for Flash 8. Although to be honest I can't remember 7 to well now, so there may be some extremely helpful thing they've added that I take for granted.

There is stuff they've taken AWAY that I was taking for granted in MX04, which makes it better if you don't care about the new shit.
