I’m finally getting around to learning Flash. It has been ages since I’ve played with anything similar—Director 3 (or was it 4?). Just getting used to the different drawing behavior is tough, it is certainly not the same as Photoshop or Illustrator.

The biggest problem for me is the lack of “View Source”. Learning HTML, CSS, or JavaScript is pretty easy because you can learn from others. With Flash? No such luck. Once cannot reverse engineer anyone else’s work. How are you supposed to learn? It’ll be interesting to see how long it’ll take me to do something remotely interesting or useful. I’m not optimistic.
