For most animation, do you import the images into gamesalad and let it do the animation? Or do you make the animation in like flash and bring it in?

    For actual animating you have to make it in an outside program. Movement and particle effects can be created in gamesalad though.

    u make them in flash (like i do) or any other software and bring in the individual frames to gamesalad and gamesalad has fps controls aswell..

    You can create animations many ways. but ultimately it needs each frame of the animation to be its own .png and imported into GS and then placed in the animation behavior. I like to use .gifs which can be opened with preview and each frame can be save individually from there.

    What I have been doing is just making the images in illustrator and importing them to GS and putting them in order in the animation attribute for the animation. If that's what you are supposed to do, I don't see the point of flash...?

    As tenrdrmer pointed out, you can create animation in many ways: flash, illustrator as you do, photoshop, dedicated animation progs, etc. Whatever floats the boat!

    yeah whatever works best for you. I have actually used layers in gimp and just made all invisible and then each time I make the next layer visible save that frame. So really what ever works for you is fine.
