Depends on what you want it to do. Download the latest flash (Flash 8) and load it up. There are many many tutorials on making flash and aspects to it (menus, websites, animations, games). Just remember to also learn a bit of Actionscript to give your movies/games an edge and to be able to provide functionality. All files will be saved as .fla extention and when tested, will also create an importable .swf format file.

Well for Flash animation i would use Macromedia Flash. But a Free alternative to Flash, which is similar to flash, is gif.   A good program to use for this is Microsoft GIF Animator (follow the link below) This is an excelent beginners program!

Flash 8 is the way to go with-out a doubt (yea, you'll need to upgrade). It is incredible how Macromedia/Adobe have expanded it's capabilities. I personly like Director but I think it's on it's last days due to expanded capabilities of Flash (and yes, Director now is allot better than it was back in the 90s).\n\nIf you already own Flash MX, play around with it and get a good idea of if you are capable of creating what you want with it. (I know that it is from my own experiance . . . I'm a multimedia developer). You can create stand alone exicutables. As far as starting from a disk just create a text file with the following in it:\n\n[autorun]\nopen=programName.EXE\n\nand save it to the root of the disk with this name "Autorun.inf" make sure the exicutable is in the same root as well.\n\nVisio does not sound like the right program for what you've mentioned as its strengths are diagrams. You need a developer platform. .net is a very capable and proabably the most powerful but the learning curve is huge in comparison to Flash. Go with Flash, it'll be here today and way down the road.\n\nAlso look for Flash Developer forums, there are a ton for components and reusable code to snag.

You don't.\n\nBuy Macromedia Flash, and do it the way every other good Flash designer does.\n\nIt's not easy, and it does require knowledge of the subject at hand, thus I suggest you either A: Go to college, or B: Get a book.

I have tried flash and it realy isnt easy. It takes a lot of practice and getting used to. There are websites that can help with this kind of stuff. I'd say on a scale of 1-10 of how hard it is to work on flash probably an 8.5. After a while it gets easier.\n\nHere's a learn flash website;
