I don't understand how you could compare them when they are two completely different programs...

Photoshop is meant for art, Flash is for movies.

Flash is just as good for still animations as Photoshop. In fact, it's alot easier to use in some ways because it is done using Vector graphics, as opposed to Raster graphics, like PS uses. Photoshop's cool for doing more detailed, intricate drawings, but Flash can be just as good for doing simpler, more animation style drawings. I was just wondering what you guys preferred....

Edit: Yeah, I had the CS2 suite. I don't anymore though, coz I mainly use the Macromedia Studio 8 (Flash MX, Fireworks,Dreamweaver etc). God knows why though, coz i'm still a total beginner. lol
