I know, I know, there’s probably been a legion of Newgrounds visitors that have probably asked this in the past, but I thought perhaps I could get some help here: How do I get started in Flash animation? I can’t afford any of the books on the subject, and my local libraries are not well-stocked in computer-related books. Any recommendations for programs or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Thanks.
