Below is information on flash sites. I haven't reviewed all of them. I am sure I would take out some links from this list if I reviewed them first. I am not sure all listed below are Christian. Please tell me if any of the sites below is not a good testimony and please tell me why. Please reply to kennethwes@aol.com
Note: Some of these site offer things you can take, others may want you to just offer a link.
An invitation from the owner: I leave you all with an address, feel free to come in and take what you need if you are into e-vangelism, these are for Christ's kingdom.
If you would like to see some awesome work in the area of Flash and Presentation type software check out the Dynamation work being done at http://www.heartlight.org/dynimation/ Some of it is free for download too.
They are also distributing a free on-line evangelism kit. It is a set of flash web pages with a gospel presentation. Any church of any denomination can host this on their own web site. It comes with a customization wizard that lets the church set the sponsored by and response details and links to its own evangelism contact email and info. Very advanced web strategy!
If you only have time to check out one Dynimation, I recommend "A Father's Love" http://www.heartlight.org/dynimation/an_fatherslove.html.

Interested in learning Flash? Check out these Webmonkey tutorials (for Flash 4):
Perhaps "Swish" will do what you need .... have a look at their website at: www.swishzone.com I am sure it does not have all the features of the "original" Flash, but I have used it some and found it very easy to learn and to use. One more note about Swish- you can download it and try it for free for thirty days.
www.Coffeecup.com also allows you to download their Firestarter flash for a try out. I believe the program costs around $40.00 USD.
Yep, the $30 Swish is the way to go - it lets you create and place text and graphic objects easily on the "stage", it has many built in effects for those objects and it has several built in "actions" (scripts) associated with those objects. This means it is easy to create graphics that change as you drag the mouse across them and it is easy to link to other web pages or actions on the existing page with a mouse click etc.
Don't be fooled by the "Scene" paradigm that Swish uses - in your application of making web pages just think of each scene as a separate web page - usually you will only be creating one page so you will only have one scene in each .swf file. If you want a web site that is totally Flash you could create multiple scenes with links to each other in one file but be careful of overall file size - after about 50-60k you'll want to start breaking your site into multiple .swf files. Personally, I like Swish much better. It offers more effects, an easy to use interface and a very helpful (to me, anyway) example movie with tutorials. The price is a plus. A flash generator for $30 USD is a good deal, IMHO.
