Flash Animations...

I have found a site with flash animations. I'm assuming that they can be included in our flipcharts.

Pretty cool site.

Well, as the site says that you have to subscribe to get to them, but once you've paid up it seems fairly lenient:

http://www.flashfoundry.com/en/help/index.mc#usage

says that once you've subscribed, you can use things pretty much however you like, as long as it's not for pr0n or to compete with them. Oh, and you aren't allowed to "Use the Images(s) in any downloadable format intended for multiple distribution" so I guess you'd have to be careful putting lessons up on your school's web site if they contained these people's content.

And there's more:
http://www.flashfoundry.com/en/popups/default_pop.sys?page=/en/popups/terms.mc&arg1=undefined&arg2=undefined

says further down that you aren't allowed to "Use Image(s) as part of any use involving sensitive subject matters, as determined by JUPITERIMAGES, including but not limited to the following: all sexual issues, sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse, alcohol, tobacco, AIDS, cancer, mental ailments, Homosexual or alternative lifestyles, and physical or mental abuse, without advance written consent from JUPITERIMAGES and any model in such Image(s)."

so there's only some lessons that you could use them in. But, I suspect that's probably pretty general, if I'm a guy that's got his photo on a stock photo site, I wouldn't want myself being the poster boy for "don't smoke crack". I'm sure there was an episode of Friends about that once..

Ok Dan and Bill, :D

I Agree on it being a good site. Now if you could point me into help on how to include the animations in a flipchart or give me a brief lesson. Can I combine with voice? I just began using a microphone for voiceovers of my flipcharts and it would be nice to put the two together. While I am on that idea I was told I could put music on one track and voice on the other in ACTIVBoard sound playbacks. I was thinking of students reading explanatory text, with music, while displaying student generated art projects.
