...How?

in the flashkit gallery i see tons of movies with animated text doing all kinds of different things, bouncing, twisting, stretching, etc.

are people using swish and swift to make these animations? I personally don't want to make these frame by frame. it would take a pretty long time. i will do it if it needs to be done, but are there any free programs that will simplify these processes?

is there a demo to swift or swish?

or do i simply need to do this frame by frame?
