movie zip file missing ...what now?

I am new to flash and I an trying to learn how to create a realistic animated dove for a sensitive type website I am trying to build.

I eventually found the movie with the exact feature I have been looking for.

I downloaded the movie below to learn how the (author: Joseph Milad )
created the wonderful dove animation as I need one just like it.

But the zip file was empty, does anybody know how I can get hold of the movie .fla file, or create the dove?

Are you sure it's empty? It says it contains intro2.fla when I just tried it.

Yes but the intro.fla file is blank

the flashkit details page says the file is 1k. regardless of the compression used... i am highly suspicious of that file successfully being shrunk to 1k

did you try emailing the author?

as for a hint. i think the dove was taken directly from video and highly compressed, possibly exported as a big gif or something. i doubt it was done frame by frame or drawn.

I have not been able to email the author or click onto the site (St Mary's Church) broken links.

I think you are right about using a gif image file it would be too difficult for me to accomplish the animation frame by frame ( I can't draw).

I have since managed to find an animated dove .gif file I will incorporate that.

Thanks for the suggestion
