Well I think there's a lot of guys here who started using Flash before it was really that complicated. I personally started with Flash 3 and just kept learning new techniques as the versions progressed...
My suggestion to anyone is to learn the basics, than patiently progress up. I think a lot of new folks believe if they jump into more advanced Actionscript that they can learn it through sheer willpower and unfortunately they end up quitting before they even get started. It also helps that there are a lot of resources available to help you along the way too...

Hi All. I'm an advanced beginner, i know the basics, how the application works, a bit of actionscript... Now I was wondering how did the pro's/advanced users evolve from here? Did you use a book(s) or just a lot of tutorials and experimenting? (What book(s)?) Another big question is when to use actionscript and when not to? Are sites like: www.ricksdesign.com <http://www.ricksdesign.com> www.notrics.nl<http://www.notrics.nl> www.h3omedia.co.uk <http://www.h3omedia.co.uk> www.clusta.com<http://www.clusta.com>heavily based on actionscript? I'm still so confused how to achieve certain effects etc and apply them in a site. My goal is to create these kind of sites, hopefully in the future as a job. Can anyone give advice? greets, Lowen _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
