Right now I'm AS3 specialized and able to make it look nice w/ Photoshop
(ui design). I know a lot about SCORM/AICC also - I programmed my own
Flash LMS/APIs in AS2 a few years ago.
At points during my career I was pretty great with Director Lingo,
Javascript and AS1/2 - but don't use it and it goes away. I've been in
multimedia/web for 15 years now, so I've done a lot over the years.
My personal site has a decent representation of what I've done:

When I went to school (95-00) there really wasn't any multimedia
education beyond intro classes but I'd been teaching myself Photoshop
2.5/3 from a warez'd copy I got from a BBS. So I learned everything on
the job as I went and during long support calls with Macromedia as I
needed it (bonus to acually buying the software). The late 90's was
Joshua Davis/Praystation/Kioken/Dreamless/k10k envy so I did a ton of
experimentation and and learned from that. After that I went after the
hard projects at work and learned what I needed from books, sites and
peers to get it done.

True, and Matt's pretty awesome. It is pretty hard to break in some
companies without the formal education, but if you're able to pick up
on-the-job experience like Matt has, you're golden.
So Matt, what would you say are your strengths? Are you purely AS3?
You can also learn as you go, but it's not as complete. I'm one of
Jason's coworkers - and while my instructional background isn't nearly
as good as Jason's I manage to muddle through :) My degree is in graphic
design/illustration and I've been self teaching Flash/multimedia since
'95. Been working in the corporate elearning industry since 2001 and
managed to pick up what I know by osmosis.
