Hiya Brad,

Thanks for the 2,

As I said before, taking a class on cutting edge is almost impossible. This is
MM's fault.
Companies like Alias, Microsoft, and a million others have budgets for not only
distributing
new software, but also providing outlets of teaching it to developers. This is
usually through
local workshops and conventions. MM isnt strong in this area. By the time I
really started to understand Flash2(limited time), Flash3 was already being
distributed.

I think people just like to say "Im self taught". Its an ego thing, but really
isnt practical
or logical if a "guru" is available at your disposal through one on one.

The tuts provided with FLash were much better than Ive seen in prior software,
but
manuals, smanuals. One on one babe! A to B. Learning through "self teaching"
doesnt make
you any more creative. Learning the tool quickly and efficiently makes creating
easier and gives more time to creating
.
No way around it.

Of course this is my 2,

-DG-
