Whilst doodling the other day a little robot spinning poi appeared. I think he's really cute and would love to learn how to animate him.

Does anyone here know how to use Flash.... or any other animation program? I'm not all that great with computers but want to learn. I don't have Flash as yet so if anyone knows where I can get a copy free-ish or cheap I would be grateful and if you know how to use it and are prepared to explain it to me even better biggrin

Thank you in advance ubbrollsmile

Jem hun if you want to play with the doodle feel free. I have actually had an offer of flash from a kind soul biggrin

Thank you Mr kind soul!

I have photoshop but I'm really useless at using it.

I have since had the robot doodle himself out a few more times and he is leaning towards only having one central leg that is on one wheel a bit like a Uni-cycle. I think it would animate better with the one wheel as he can lean in and out as he moves then stops etc...
