Need an animation program

I need an animation program that doesn't require separete images. I need somthing that will let me add sprites or somthing. anyone know of any.

may i request macromedia flash or thier other realted progams like Flash., they're pretty useful , (i used to have it, but i need a newer vers.)

How about free online programs

since i do make my own money i have imageready to do small things for sigs.,

dude you can barley animate on flash. industry standards are alias producs, 3d studio software or lightwave. i suggest you go to thier site and download personal learning editons of thier products. the only diffrence is that you will either get a watermark or a expiration date.

3d studio max is for 3D modeling and rendering. Simple animation can be used in Flash. But if you have Photoshop 7+ use Imageready

Using photoshop + imageready is really hard if you are drawing on the computer, simply because it takes very good hands and dexterity. There are some nice flash animations out there, so it's completly doable.

but i want to make one thing on a 3d program and be able to move it around and have joints and stuff so that i can take each frame
