Sorry for the dumb dumb quesiton but I'm just curious to find out people's opinions regarding the best way to learn Flash MX Pro 2004.
What I'm most interested in is data related stuff, so using datagrids, XML connector, dynamic importing of images/mp3's (jukebox, picture albums etc) and mobile related stuff.
I've been using Flash since V3 and am an ex-ASP developer so I've done basic data stuff with Flash before, but I really want to start becoming a killer flash application developer and have finally decided to get off my lazy-butt and learn.
I have a couple flash 5 bibles (actionscript and flash 5) but are any of the Macromedia courses any good? What about community college classes or other online learning? I pick stuff up pretty quick, but I think I do need instrutor led training since I'm most interested in learning how and why stuff works, not so much just pasting code in to make it work.
