Can you working in Freehand to creat flash?

[firemsl]

Hi I am a total newbie?I have been working with freehand and found that I like
using it more than the other studio 2004 programs. I am finding it frustrating
to figure out how to go back and forth between flashpro and freehand. The flash
program just does not seem to have the same abilities as freehand. Is there
some way that I can just create flash/stuff in the freehand? For example I want
to make a line the looks like it grows from the left to the right. Now I can do
that in flash with a time line/layer effect and import it into freehand but it
seems like a waste of time. Can I instead use freehand?s layers or something to
create the same line? Why don?t they just combine some of these
programs?[i]Text[/i

Yes, You can make flash animation files in Freehand usingthe layers or pages,
where each layer or page would be another frame of the animation. If you want
to animate by layers, just make eaach sequentaul change on the next layer. The
same would for each new page. Then go to export and check the setting to see
that your settings are set to render by layers or by pages. Choose the frame
rate and then Click OK and Export your file as a .swf file That should do it
