I know the points in this article kind of jump around alittle, but thats the nature of our industry. The underlying message is that you have to process information at random times from random areas. Its not always presented in a linear, organized manner.

Hope you enjoyed this read as much as I enjoyed writing it. In the upcoming installments we will get into technical details, so happy Flashing. See you in the forums!

Really rate these better design and development articles, sum up a lot of the lessons i've learnt in my first three months as a Flash Developer. Well worth the read, and confirms alot of my suspicions about so called great flash developers.

Much appreciated Chad.

Sounds like really good advice. I'm a stills photographer in Melbourne Australia. There are to many photographers and not enough work and on top of this there are to many of us who don't know our tools of trade and in turn deliver unprofessional work. I want to get into flash but am finding it difficult to keep up with the fast pace of changing practices involved with site and other applications that flash is used for. Thanks for the advice!

Really like these words,

"Lets face it people, its just code! Code is nothing more than instructions made of words and symbols. Honestly, it isnt rocket science, so dont be afraid of it. You're bigger than it is! "

Great!
