Does anyone know what file type and what program you use to make an animated character?

    Short answer - 'many'.
    I use Flash (.fla) because it uses vector graphics and these easily be edited for various screen sizes/outputs.
    Final file format should be .png file format to go into GS (export all frames as PNG files).

    You can use inkscape and export the images to png. It's free, it's powerful and works nicely for 2D art. Check out my tutorial:

    Don't forget Anime Studio, way easier than any 3d software and cheaper too.
