I am currently on Chapter 3 of the Lynda.com Flash tutorial. I was hoping to get farther but things like my Literature Review kind of got in the way. I feel like I have a much better understanding of Flash now than five years ago when I took an electronic art class. This may be because the Lynda.com tutorial explains how to use Flash, whereas my instructor just wanted us to create. I would talk about the philosophical debate regarding art and knowing how to use your tools vs. doing what you feel. However that is a whole other blog.
So, the big question is what I have I learned so far? I've learned a lot about the way the Flash interface is set up, and how to use some of the more basic tools such the deco tool, (who knew you could draw flames) and the shape tools. However the most important thing I have learned is that Flash....at least basic Flash is easier to learn than I thought. However I am sure that the hard stuff is coming up soon.
