Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted
- Albert Einstein.
No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language; there are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes.

Flash costs a huge amount and is highly overpriced in my opinion. It's supposed to be an animated cartoon, my first one. The text at the top is speech. I just used a program to set the positions of layers based off of details in a text file, then used "The GIMP" to open up all 3634 original frames to form the final result, optimizing it to 3444 frames. I mainly just use Excel to get the positions calculated. I've heard that Flash doesn't have the option of opening a text file to set positions for the various layers which defeats any use for it. I can still use AVI though (and this animation has a few mistakes in it).
High elevation is the best elevation. The higher, the better the view!
