# If I'm correct in my assumptions about how flash works
if you're drawing still pictures you might as well be using MSPaint.
Edit: Silly me, I think I must be thinking that Flash is just an animation program, there must be other kinds of Flash.

# but flash is vector based = smooth, scalable images

# But this picture
can be done in any image program at a very small image size can it not?

# Flash
Is also more about interactive/animated stuff. For vectors, better a vector drawing program.

is what I was thinking.
And his drawing looks like it could've been drawn in MSPaint.*
*Not meaning to be an offensive statement, it's just the style looks like it's been achieved with MSPaint*

# personally, I find flash's vector manipulation tools easier to use
but each to his own

# Well then
I'll have to give it a try.

Been a while since I used the flash. Have they got rid of the slate-and-chalk interface?

# I don't know what you're on about
but I've been using it since version 5 and the overall look hasn't changed much

# I think he probably wants something vaguely Vector based
Try Inkscape (its free) or Corel Xara
