how about it out there is there a good way to learn flash? as for myself it must contain the reading of material along with audio and video demo's and lastly hands on to lock down the info to memory. dreamweaver studio mx with all the new changes was tough but flash "whew" thanks in advance y'all.

Hi Photoop

First of all, welcome to the forum.

It would really help to know a bit about you: Where you are from and what your level of expertise is to begin with.

Have you tried the online tutorial that comes with Flash MX? Thats normally a good way to get to grips with the basic capabilities of Flash.

Failing that I would say invest in a good book. There are a few listed at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/...0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

There are also short college courses, some of which I am sure can be taken online.

In that case, does your local college/uni etc hold short courses? They certainly have them in the UK (online and local) and should include the material that you need.

If you're a quick learner, you could forgo the books and find someone to sit down with you and show you the basics, from there you can probably find all the info you need on the web, or you could get it through forums like this one. Even if you had to pay someone for a couple hours of their time, it would probably be really helpful. At least for me it would, but I learn better by being taught and experimenting.

i nee to see it being done properly in front of my face with my own eyes and then do it immediatly after to lock it in. the instructors at the local kept fumbling with time lines and insertion it all just stayed confusing especially since there were 4 differt instructors in just 7 weeks of the quarter i was in. so i just droped the class and got an incomplete.
