Actually, I took a two-day intensive Flash course earlier this year at

Macromedia-certified training center, and have found it to be

invaluable. 


In comparison to many of my co-workers who are self-taught (or the one

who learned everything she knows by pestering this one guy for weeks

at a time), I have a firmer base of knowledge about what Flash can and

cannot do. And most importantly, I know the importance of optimizing

file size and how do it -- something that almost none of them know how

to do. I am also one of the very few who understands the proper use of

symbols and why turning bitmaps into symbols before motion tweening is

a good thing to do.


Sure I've done additional study outside of the crash course, but this

place was great and I recommend them to anyone who wants to dive right

in to a two-day crash course and come out with a decent, broad but

still a littlle basic knowledge of Flash.
