2D animation is most commonly created using Adobe Flash but other programs can be used swell. Flash animation are saved in .swf format. Flash animation is a certain type of movement and visual style using circles. Flash animation can be used for almost anything, from websites to television programs. One website that uses flash animation for websites is a site called wix.com, which creates a variety of pages of your choosing that inserts in flash animation automatically with your certain preferences. The only problem with flash animation is the file format, being a very complex format, makes whatever it is being used in much slower to load as it takes longer to process everything in a .swf file.
I have used wix.com to create a small promotional page for my Facebook home page, this is situated at www.facebook.com/danielmackenziedesigns.
Flash is quite easy to use, but to master it you need to take a lot of time figuring all of the parts of flash out as there are so many things to do on it. For instance you have to first sort out the FPS (frames per second) of the design, the higher the value of FPS the smoother it will be (and also the file size will start to get higher as there are more frames to process) then you can put the images/text in and start creating your design using the tweens and key frames (there are 2 tweens, shape and motion. Motion controls movement, shape controls the structure of the object and the motion of the object at the same time.)
When you save a flash animation, it has to be in the .swf format otherwise it is not going to work and save the file appropriately to what the design is for.
