Character animation in flash or illustrator

I need a character movement and fighting like that in HOMM3 [login to view URL] I need a character to make specific movements (like in the video): - hurt - dead (falling then still) - walking - attacking I suppose 2-3 frames per action would be enough to create the illusion. For this project I would like a swordsman animated. I need high quality product and I am looking for long term relationship for creation of more characters. I am looking for either adobe illustrator or flash. I can accept also transparent PNGs. The animation will be integrated in flash. ## Deliverables Flash, Illustrator, transparent PNGs
