Hope this is the right forum for this, apologies if it's not.
It's my (within) 2 year plan to become a certified professional in Flash. Currently I work full time developing flash for e-learning and am also a degree qualified designer. After using Flash (in mostly the wrong code-all-over-the-place ways) for around 5 years, earlier in the year I completed the official Adobe Actionscript 2 training. I'm now learning more, fast, and am able to turn over better work, faster – to the point where my employer is really noticing.
What I'd like is your opinions on the value of the certification, particularly in terms of my value to my employer who will be paying for working toward this. I can imagine, although I'd appreciate some testimony.
Further, at the moment it is only AS2 that I am familiar with, is it feasible at this stage to become certified in AS2 (ie Flash 8) or is the only option with Flash CS3 / AS3. While using CS3, I am yet to delve into AS3. I certainly plan to, but I am obviously further along the AS2 path at the moment.
Thanks for any advice.
Scott.
