As a medical teacher, I wish to present to my students the concepts in flash animations. I have no knowledge in his. I may be considered a novice. Can anyone guide me on the expertise & software required for the same?

Just grab a copy of Adobe(earlier macromedia) Flash and become comfortable with the interface. There a few books too that you may consider. Although the help provided by Flash is enough to get you started. Heck, its the best book itself :D

Flash is similar to photoshop in case of layers.If u have photoshop knowledge it appears to be easy.Justt u need to know about frame by frame animation,creating button,action script,etc and very good in graphical drawing and imagination.

There are many tutorials in internet.Check out

Practise makes man perfect.Do always R&D with a software to master it
