Trying to Learn Flash
Learning Photoshop has brought me lots of value (and money), and I think it's much past due that I learn how to use Flash.
I can sssoooorrrrrt of use Flash right now as seen in my crude re-creation of my accident. I was also able to quickly pick up Swish which is what I might use from now on.
I'm not looking to become an expert in this, but I want to be able to regularly incorporate Flash into different projects. I can already make simplified little movies, but I want to learn how to use Action Script which is the programming language behind Flash (from what I understand). My end goal is to make small Flash files which react to mouse movement. Like when you roll your mouse over an area, it reacts in a certain way, or makes other objects in the file react. Shouldn't be that tough.
As for now I'm starting to get re-acquainted with Flash, and this is my first little experiment with it:
That's just from playing around a bit. I need to start learning how to properly use more advanced features. Both Flash and Swish have tutorials included in the software, perhaps those would be a good start. There's also a massive amount of free flash tutorials out there (Google it), but has anyone had luck with a particular one?
I've given myself a reasonable time line to get familiar with making customized Flash modules: Two weeks. So come 5-22-2008 I should have some crude example of a interactive Flash file posted here.

tres: ok, so I can't remember the third one right off the top of my head, but if you go to your nearest Barnes & Noble or Hastings or Borders, go to the Graphic Design section of magazines and you will find some magazines from the UK that have CRAZY awesome tutorials on HTML, FLASH, and just general graphic design stuff. One of my favorites is COMPUTER Arts wait a minute.....yeah! that was my third link!
