Flash?

[Guinner]

I've done a search and nothing came up.
But I want to animate a 2D object in my game, is there a way to import an animation from Flash or a similar program?
Thanks.

Yes just drop the image into Shiva.
As there is no 'automagic animation' it doesn't matter where it comes from, all it needs to be is an image strip / sprite sheet so you can program your UV animation basing on it

there is no direct import from flash *.swf. however, you can import movies as textures, as well as import a sequence of still image files and glue them together using the textureStrip method dreamora describes. if you need to animate an image for a 2d character, i can recommend this tutorial,
