What's the best way to create an embeded or downloadable "animation"?
A friend needs to have a set of instructions for his product available with animated steps. What tools are best?
Can I do it with Flash? AVI? MPG?

Any help is appreciated.

Flash is good if the quality is to be basic frame by frame animation, but if needed, you could stream the video inline using QuickTime, or make it downloadable by MPEG, but due to the time needed to download MPEGs and QT movies, I'd make the animation basic and use Flash

Thanks,

Since no one responded sooner, I have started working with Flash. It's going to be the best scenario.
