What all do I need to do flash and javascript for webpages?

[ST4RCUTTER]

I see the great websites with javascript and flash and it looks great. What graphic programs do I need to create these cool animated scenes? Anybody know where I should start?

Macromedia Flash 5 for sure, and probably Macromedia Fireworks 4, it is usefull at times.

Flash + Fireworks + Dreamweaver is an excellent combo for web development. Flash for the animations, fireworks for the images/rollovers, and dreamweaver to put it all together. I don't use Flash, so I've never attempted to learn it. Fireworks and Dreamweaver both contain some good tutorials that'll get you started.

Dreamweaver? Psh. Notepad all the way.

Thanks guys! I'm downloading the trialware right now...I'll prolly be shooting some emails too. I'm eager to learn this stuff.

Allaire Homesite + Adobe Photoshop/Imageready + Macromedia Flash 5 is what the pros use. Expect to spend some big cash... or an hour or so on Bearshare.

As for Javascript, try going to a place such as Internet Related Technologies, their 500-600 example scripts should cover just about any Javascript work you'll need to do.

I like using goLive. Anyone else use this? I haven't played around much with Allaire products. How do they compare?

So you guys suggest with sticking with all macromedia products?
