I use DrawPlus x5 for all my props and characters. It can export in flash format and imports into CTA well.
Adobe Flash works also but it more expensive.
Not sure about Swish but if it exports swf files it "SHOULD" work.
Note that Action Scripts are not supported in CTA.
For video editing I use MoviePlus x6. Fairly inexpensive and has many good features.
I know there are others and depending upon budget and the features you want what will work for you.
JeffHi, thanks for the recommendations.
Serif Drawplus x5 looks like a good deal when bought here, and most people rate it highly.
The video editing is not so clear cut though ! I will have to install a few trials and see what works best for me. Movieplus, Sony Vegas Movie Studio, Cyberlink Powerdirector & Corel Videostudio are in my sights.
