Hi Everyone and Anton,

I hope I can address a few things about MotionArtist 2.0.

It is a very intuitive and easy program to use, yet it is also a powerful flash authoring tool.

Creating banners, websites and digital photo albums is easy with over 70 built-in templates.

To assist users in designing animations quickly, MotionArtist 2.0 includes 68 configurable effects. The timeline for these pre-made animation effects can be further modified with a few clicks.

The recording feature is one of a kind and can trace hand movement and turn it into a configurable effect.

Adding buttons, text, basic shapes, and mp3/wav sounds is also very simple.

It also has over 800 ready-to-use library objects.

MotionArtist 2.0 was also known as FlashMaker 2. The #1 Selling Flash Software in Japan.

At the special promotional price of $29.99 this is a good deal compared to SwishMax $99 and Flash MX $499 - $699 and a very steep learning curve.

Thanks,
