How to Turn Pictures Into Movies Using Flash
Adobe Flash is a sophisticated animation and design tool. It can be used to create flash (.fvl and .swf) movies which are popularly exported to the web. Turning pictures into a movie implies that the pictures will be played like a slide show. Flash has a built-in template to create photo slide shows. This makes the process much simpler as the amount of knowledge of Flash required by the user is significantly less.
