FLASH: The "Debate"

[Chayli Design]

Time to come out of the closet I guess and actually post to the group.  I'll

confess first up that most of the posts go "whoooooosh" (straight over my

head).


Being on "forced leave" from the day job last month (too much leave

accrued - sad huh) , I finally, after promising myself for over a year,

decided to sit down and learn Flash. Having both Flash 4 and 5, I decided to

try and learn Flash 4 first. I ploughed  my way through the Visual Quick

Start Guide (cover to cover) and can probably manage the basics with the

assistance of some additional tutorials I've found. My plan was to progress

to 5 after *mastering* 4. My dilemma is that getting my head around the

scripting side of things will be a real challenge (not even a programmers

bootlace!). I need another book  - but one that explains not only what to

do, but why I'm doing it.


One of my fave pastimes is *playing* with new software - but I tried to be a

little disciplined for a change.


So having read about the differences between the 2 versions ..... should I

skip straight to 5 or persevere with 4? Are there any recommended books

available for 5 yet?
