[QUOTE=Ravager]If you're any good at drawing stuff, you could use some kind of drawing program or scan something onto a computer that could be animated.
Flash (that's the animation program) also allows you to draw stuff on it, but there are better programs for the actual drawing part.
If you get hold of Flash I can get you some tutorials for it, but it would be easier if I tried to animate something for you.[/QUOTE]
yeah I can draw,what kind of program could I use to draw stuff on...and how would I know how big the picture is so I could get it to 75x75?

You could use Microsoft Paint (Start -> Programs -> Accessories) but that's pretty basic.
Try this one maybe:

I use it occasionly, you may have to register but it is otherwise free. As for the image size, IIRC, you can set a new image's size. There may be an option when you click 'New' or something that allows you to 'Resize Canvas'. Make sure it's set to pixels rather than CM or Inches and enter 75 in both Width and Height.

Ok, thanks Rav for the help as usual I'll try it out and let you know how it goes.I dont know what I'd do with out you *sobs* :( :)

Oh, you won't be able to animate the picture in that program you know, you can only draw it in there.
For the actual animating you need something like Flash. You can get a free trial of that (which I'm forced to use for now) but it only lasts 30 days.

And, yeah, glad to help. :)

Will I was planning on drawing it and then saving it somewhere and then attaching it here, and then you could get it so that you can make it move, then reattach it and then I would post it up... :confused:

Yeah, that's fine. I was just making sure you didn't expect to be able to animate it in DrawPlus.

Oh no I cant seem to download it..on this computer..Im guessing that the collge computers have certain restrictions :(
I'll see if my uncle can help with this, considering that this is his field...I'll ask him what program he's using that this computer may have or can have. :(

Hmm, if you're using a college computer, maybe they have a program installed that you can use, have a look through the Start Menu. Abode Photoshop or Corel programs are good (if not better).
Maybe they'd even have Flash installed. :D
Under a Macromedia folder.

Oh, in regards to my day, I had an eye test. Apparently I have short-sightedness which is bad enough that I'd fail a driving test. :(
At least it wasn't some kind of eye disease anyway...

Oh, sorry dude that blows. I'm badly short-sighted too, but not so bad as to prevent me from getting a license :( . Do you wear glasses/contacts?

Does that mean you cant see far or close...I cant see far....I have glasses...shhhh..tell anybody and I'l hunt you down...anyways I dont wear them ;) :p :rolleyes: .....but if I 'll need to copy down some notes from the board if I sat all the way in the back then yeah I'd popped them out. :(

Adobe...I think thats what it has

No, I haven't needed them before.
It wouldn't prevent me from getting a license, it'd just mean I'd need to wear glasses whenever I drive.
It's for long-sight, it's just been a lot worse over the last few months. They project stuff onto a board during the lectures and I can't really read that, even near the front of the room. :rolleyes:

What Adobe programs are there, slade?
