Hi, If you are into actionscript, you should have no trouble with that part of the exam. So fear not, I found it a lot easier than expected, but questions might differ of course. /Eskil Orindom Dhar skrev: hi flashsaavy, Thanks for ur inputs. Arin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL

Flash 8 Certification Exam? Srsly? And you pay for it? That's crazy talk! If you've got money to throw away, why not give it to a charity this holiday season and use it for something that actually makes a difference? ___

Gee Steve, You normally are such a force for good in the world. But that post on the Flash cert was harsh. I can understand why you wouldn't take the time of day to think about taking a cert exam. But then why take the time to bash it? The cert thing is good. Not evil.

I don't agree with the smartassitude, but perhaps what Steven is insinuating is that proving that you know some syntax does not prove that you can actually do anything with it. I'm not at the epicenter of the Flash Universe and I think the cert is worthless. Is that a better way to put it? ;)

hi jordan, now do you feel better? now that you got that off your chest and out in the open? certifications are worthless. unless ... -- you are a newbie, and you are not even sure you are worthy of calling yourself a Flash developer. trust me, if you can pass this exam, you do

Haha fair enough. Just understand that my tone was playful and did not illicit a smartass response. You do make some good points as to the uses of a cert, but I'm still not sure that makes it worth much...with a Flash cert, I'm not going to demand the same respect as with a 4 year degree.

jordan, you hit the essence of it. it is hopping over a low bar. technical certs are minimal, entry level credentials. kind of like a drivers license. and true, just because you have a license doesn't mean that you know how to drive ;-) achieving a technical cert is in no way

Hello, Has anyone out there,cleared the flash 8 professional certification exam. If yes, could you please give some advice on how to prepare for it. Unlike previous flash certifications, in flash 8 they have combined the designer and developer and made it as one,its ridiculous! As a
