[PLUG] Need Animation Software

[Casey Bralla <MailList@NerdWorld.org>]

I've got to create some simple animations for work to show various types of 
manufacturing techniques ("Batch & Que" and "Pull System").  I'm teaching a 
class on the advantages of the Pull System, and need something to show how 
little widgets move through various manufacturing steps and then to the 
customer.


I've been trying to use PowerPoint to create this, but it is very unwieldy for 
anything other than very simple animations.   My animations have 50+ steps 
and require multiple things to be moving simultaneously.

Ideally, I'd like to create a flash animation that I can embed in a PowerPoint 
slide.


Anybody know of a good animation program that won't have too steep a learning 
curve?
