How to make a photo (still image) move in flash?

I work for an artist and I need to make a website similar to this

Instead of that picture frame though I have a photo (in jpeg) of a painting of the artist. The painting has a tree which needs to be slowly revealed/drawn and then have its branches and leef move constantly.

It sounds to me like this can be done in flash but I have never worked in flash before so I dont really know how to do this!

Is that possible? And if so is flash the way to go or is there an easier/better way?

Are there any good tutorials for this task anywhere?

Thanks in advance

Mike

Your question isn't about programming, it's about animating, so it's off-topic here. In the meantime though I know how to animate that so I'll give you an overview.

In Flash you can import jpg or png images so that's easy enough. Then you can put the imported image into a symbol (probably a MovieClip) in order to rotate and scale it in the animation. That particular animation of the image growing is done using a Mask layer on top of the imported bitmap.

Just look closer at those moving images - they're split into transparent layers, moving with different speeds. Sometimes they're flashing - that may be semitransparent layer changing alpha, with BlendMode.ADD or something. You can do a lot of effects with clever layering.
