Weird, my e-mails keep bouncing for this thread. Let's try again:
Actionscripting knowledge is about all I do have. I've been working on a fairly complex Flash application for the past 6 months or so (our Flash developer quit and it landed on me), so I've picked up a lot of the programming stuff, but the design stuff like timeline and such I don't really know much about. One other thing I forgot to mention is that I'm also looking at possibly doing FMS training. However, the FMS application development training courses all have prereqs of the FMS Video course, but I'm not doing any Video related stuff with FMS so that course wouldn't really be relevant, though I'm worried that I might have trouble with the FMS course if I didn't take it. Any suggestions there? -Andy On 3/8/07, Kevin Bowers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I really don't think you need to worry too much about this. A someone who is actually a trainer for these courses I'd say that if you can do very basic things such as converting items to a symbol, you know a bit about the timeline, frame labels, etc. you'll be absolutely fine on this course. The important thing is that you would need to have some basic action scripting knowledge. Have a look at the Flash 8 Actionscript course outline, if you know that stuff, sign up for the Advanced Design course.

My Flash devel knowledge is in a somewhat interesting state in that I know the basics and some advanced parts of AS2 programming, but don't really know much at all about using Flash itself (timeline, creating UI objects in the FLA, etc). I've found a few training courses that I could go to, but the ones that look useful to me (the more advanced programming ones) have prereqs of the simpler classes, where most of the material is stuff I already know, with just a few things that I don't. For instance, this class: http://www.trainsimple.com/courses/advanceddesign.html has a lot of things I'd like to learn (Tween, extending MovieClip) but has prereqs requiring both basic AS knowledge which I have and basic Flash design stuff ("Rich Content Creation), which I don't have. I don't know if I'd be able to get the company to have me take more than one training course in the near term, and for what I'm doing the advanced class would be much more useful, but I'm not sure if I would have trouble in it due to not knowing the design stuff. Has anyone here been in a similar situation and found training that was helpful without duplicating a lot of what you already knew? Does anyone have any suggestions on training courses that would be good, or even just training companies that people have found to be good?
