I started early and have progressed over time. Take one aspect you'd like to learn more about, and beat on it. Read what you can, check other developer's sources, and most of all experiment with your own code. Overcoming your own bugs, pitfalls, etc. will help you learn a lot more than someone just showing you some finished working code in the long run.
And this list should help you tons too. I still run into things that confuse me, and the knowledge on this list is outstanding! edolecki On 11/21/05, Kevin Aebig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well I think there's a lot of guys here who started using Flash before it > was really that complicated.
