Unfortunately I did 3 separate searches on Purplus.com for "Motion
Artist" and couldn't find a link for it at all. :( If it is
inexpensive enough, I may be inteerested in it for an interim while
continuing my Flash research. Do you have a link for it at Purplus.com?

Thanks for the heads up about that. I am not really keen on having to
learn a whole lot of scripting right now...just wanted to get familiar
with Flash-like graphics for the time-being.

I just received a spoofed PayPal alert account message today. This is
why I don't even use services such as Paypal, etc....too difficult in
separating the wheat from the chaff...and all you need is one button
error and there you go! I guess if I really needed to get something
on Ebay, I would probably ask someone who has an account to be a
"go-between" and place the transaction for me and compensate them in
some way for their time and efforts. That's the only way I can see
using that service for right now.
Well, thanks for the info and tips.
Cheers.
