Tracy, thanks for the reply. I have familiarized myself with the adobe resources but appreciate the other links. A few look familiar, but it would have taken me quite awhile to compile my own list, I'm sure.
Thank you also for the assurance that I can be successful without having to worry about Flash (one thing at a time, lol!). I guess I really need to know where to get a good foundation in ActionScript. I've been to actionscript.org and a few related sites but things seem to be in bits and pieces there (or there's just too much to wade through when you don't know what you're doing) and without the foundation to lay upon, I'm still a bit lost. Any recommended books or sites? Thanks again. -Terri J. On 10/1/07, Tracy Spratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am quite successful in Flex and have no Flash background.
