Hi guys! I love to check out the beautiful ecards created by our top artists and am so inspired by what I see. However, I am new to flash and cannot find ANYWHERE online how on earth you guys create the falling sparkles on so many of your flash cards! I have thoroughly gone through Youtube, and Flashkit, as recommended by a seasoned artist on another forum. I have done general google searches on the subject and looked up on ehow...I can find NOTHING!!!! It is driving me crazy because there has got to be a tutorial out there on how to do this, but where???? Please help me, somebody!!!!
Thanks,
Gloria

This small tiny animation like sparks, snow falls can be done using Adobe flash software. In flash you have to make it from scratch of the animation. Alternately swishmax software has built in animation tween effects which you can use on the go.
