Question
Is there an easy way to get an already animated flash card like from americangreetings.com - and add it to my site? Or is there a way I could create my own to put on my site, but still be an easy process. I only have limited applications to work with such as Paint,Microsoft Word, etc - and I also have some pictures that if I get the right code, could possibly add some of my own text and make it flash.

Answer
Sorry Nick, there is really no way to do it, nor is there really a way to "fake" flash.  Unfortunately, if you can't right click on an e-card online, and get a "save target as" option, you won't be able to pirate one either....

Flash is not something that you can code.  Flash is an application software that creates movie files.  It is not like javascript where you can code it (not for the purposes you are trying to accomplish anyway)  

You may want to look into some javascript coding, like do a search on the web for "javascripts" or "javascript e-card codes", etc.  and see if you get anything that may be useful.

Cheers,
Andre'
