flash 5 substitution for hobbyists

[omiwan]

I am a CorelXara graphics design hobbyist. I consider myself novice (have been working with Xara for two years) and don't expect to go far with this as I don't have the time to commit. But if I want to create animated graphics like March's tutorial in the Tromp room, but don't have $400 for Flash (sigh), what programs would do the same basic job? Anyone find a substitution that is affordable?

Thanks, Mayra [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Check out Swish! Try www.swishzone.com and try the beta of their new version. It is amazing and easier than Flash. When the new version is released it will take the world by storm!
