Hi and welcome to DEVPPL.

Press CTRL+R to import an image. In the top of Flash you have a timeline, click on frame 20 and then F6 (i think) to make an empty keyframe, press ctrl+r again and import another image, continue like this and press ENTER or CTRL+ENTER to view your animation.

F6 is correct

Once you get better at flash, you can even do more things like have the images fade in and out

Thanks so much for your help. I am getting hooked onto Flash. How do I fade in and Out the images. Also if I wanted to make a bar with images scrolling how do I go about it.

Thank you sooooooooo much. Your advice has been very helpful.

I haven't used Flash for over a year so I thought that it maybe could be missleading if I tried to explain, but I found a very good tutorial for fading images.
http://www.tutorials.cn/tutorial/8596/

Scrolling is really simple, import an image, click on frame 20, press F6, click on the image and move it horizontally. I'm not sure if you have to select it, but click on frame 1, hold shift down and click on frame 20, the whole animation should now be selected. Rightlick somewhere in the line in the timeline and click on the top-alternativ. I don't remember but it's something like 'Create Motion' or something like that.

I will write a tutorial for it later today

:::::::EDIT:::::::

It seems that I already did a tutorial like this... The one I did was for fading text in and out, but it will be the same for graphics:

Thanks so much for all your input. The effects look cool. If you have the inclination could you teach me some more fun gizmo stuff using Flash.

You can find many different subcategories to the Flash tutorials in the menu to the left. Just ask if you have any futher questions. I'm glad we could help you out.

Make a circle, press F8 (I think) select button and press Enter. It coule also be CTRL+F8 (it was over 1 year since I used flash).

I don't remember how to then link it. And that depends on your version of flash aswell.
