What made you download Flash?

[HeinekenClock]

Somewhere at some point in our lives, all (almost all) of us have downloaded Flash for the first time. Because people have to be triggered to do such a thing, I was wondering what made you download Flash?

I was just a regular Newgroundite looking for sprite movies and stuff by TheWeebl, I wanted do try out Flash but I couldn't get it to download (somehow the macromedia website hates me) so I downloaded Pivot instead. I messed around with it for a week or 2 before it bored me, so I asked someone how Torrents worked and I downloaded the trial from somewhere else.

I made a few atrocious sprite movies, one of which has actually passed judgment (which I've deleted by now), before I tried out actually drawing things. Because the concept of Clocks was quite easy (mostly involving tweens) I decided to join here and practice :3

I was 14 and barely used computers.

I just figured out that I like drawring and always wanted to make some nice animations.  Although now my copy of Flash doesn't work because my computer doesn't like me like it used to so now I need to earn $800.00 to buy the bulky but visually impressive Flash CS3 from the big brother of the internet art community, Adobe.

I used to be on newgrounds for around a hour or two a day looking at movies and games, then one day I did a bit of digging around and came across flash downloaded the trial and ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ then made my first movie that is still on newgrounds now.

nobody is talking about piracy. You can get a free 30 day trial from macromedia - I ought to know as my "Days left" run out on clockday.

I always was drawing stuff, everywhere and a friend introduced me to making animations in micro soft power point, I loved it. I remember spending hours and hours on it when I first started. Then I looked for a place you could watch home made, sort of animations and newgrounds came up. So I asked for flash for my birthday.

that's because I edited out all of the references to piracy in the thread

The "download" button made me do it.

After watching homestar runner in 7th grade i decided this 'flash' program was more than just a step up from 'jasc animation shop' which was what i was using before that to make buddy icons etc ;D

[GamblerClock]

flashtrek Broken mirror - i don't even like starttrek but i was like WOW VEXXIANG IS LEGEND - I was 11, downloaded the free trial followed sometuts which led onto newgrounds, YoshiEgg told me about clockcrew, I told him about flash a while before I  think. We worked together for a while and by the end of the free trial we had got flash 8.

Pretty much the same story with me. minus the buddy icons bit.
Always been into animation, and it really just caught my interest.

Being here, though I haven't even touched flash in a while.
