Hey my question is simple.... Where should i make those 3d bevels, bubbles
etc...???

Should i use fireworks or photoshop to create a png file(better for
transparent) or should i make those 3d simulation in flash??

I usually make all in flash because i can have more dinamic over it
like(Tweening etc...) but what is the best way of doing it???

Is there a better way?? Is PNG better??? can i tween a png??

Tell me design tricks for flash ok??

Best regards,
PirrA

Is this the type of thing you were thinking of?

or a more realistic jello effect?

I'd do it in flash if the animation is longer but shorter animations are
better suited for gif

For png, fireworks would be easier if your a flash user just because of
similar layout of tools.

I would make the gel buttons themselves in Photoshop. Export them as .gif or png. Either one is good. Import them into Flash and create the animation. That would be the best way.

I make some pretty good looking gel button in just Flash. I am no big fan
of Flash as an drawing tool and much prefer CorelDraw and PhotoShop, but for
the gel buttons, you can do just as good of a job with vectors and gradient
fills in Flash as anything else does. And much smaller files too in Flash.
