It's also the only thing I find fun about Flash (but I do find it so very fun!!). But it's not a requirement for animation. I would say a requirement for frame based animation of the type you describe is not so much a background in Flash as it is a background in some sort of animation! Walking across a romm could turn out to be fairly complex. A ball gliding across a room is a snap. Walking means the arms, legs, torso, maybe even head are independant symbols that are hinged to move independantly. Talking involves more than just flapping a hinged mandible! Moving something on a desk .... You get what I mean. I doubt Flash would be any harder than any other animation tool, and I also think you could easily duck the ActionScript boogeyman entirely, but I don't know that anything is going to make it "easy" 'Cept maybe something like Poser which is meant for modeling people and has some animation capabilities if I remember right. But then that would probably be too realistic! Loading...
