2d animation program

Can anybody suggest me a 2d animation program? I use PIVOT but I think it's boring. I am looking for something like PENCIL, that you don't use stickfigures but you draw every frame from the beginning. PENCIL makes my computer lag, so I can't use it.

adobe flash.

you could also try adobe after effects

Imageready, or photoshop cs3/4.

Macromedia flash.Go to newgournds.com,every animation you see there is made with macromedia flash

its owned by adobe now.

aarrgghhh man im not with the times lol....
i used to use it years and years ago,but it was called macromedia falsh lol....let me guess the price of the program has inflated a few £100 pounds lol

quite significantly. they bought it out 3-4 years ago now.

seriously......lol...i was 13ish when i was using it.....im 21 now lol :)Man i saw some pretty amazing things been created on that thing lol

are you sure that I can create animations with adobe? I didn't know this :o...

adobe flash is a vector animation package.

but I look for something like PENCIL, which is simple and funny.

I use Adobe Director at school.. That's quite fun... PIVOT is the only simple one I know of..

ok, ok, Iwill make it clear, what program does the animator use to do THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ0qfvijl6c&feature=related ?
