When asked how I learned Flash, I usually explain that I am self-taught. This is only half the story. The links to the right are some of the greatest teachers I have found. Each has a wealth of information. When I wondered about the limits of Flash and how to get the program to execute what I saw in my mind, the programmers, developers, and gurus on these links sometimes came through with snippets of code, examples and always inspiration.
I have fallen in love with this community which has no problem helping each other. Sure we all want to protect what is ours but there is no reason not to help others achieve whatever they can.
Long live open source.
