"Flash Guru". "We won't tell you what it is, but we'll know it when we see it." Bah. What is a Flash Gurus? You could subscribe to FlashCoders: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Not surprisingly, they tend to be, uh, coders. Flash got a big kick in the butt with MX 2004 being so Object Oriented. Classes are being written all over the place, design patterns, comparisons being made with with java development... But I'm guessing the reason you feel disoriented with ActionScript is because it is associated with two things no other language is, a timeline and a movieclip Object. I don't really know how to suggest you become a guru in a week. I'm sure with your coding background you won't be intimidated, but neither will you be as effective as you can be until you spend some time with your head immersed in the Flash paradigm which, as I mentioned, revolves around a timeline and a movieclip object and I sadly fear that reading my tutorials (flattering though that is) won't prepare you for gurudom. (though the one I'm working on now is about the most technical so far: http://www.thegoldenmean.com/temp/player5/ Flash development involves sort of equal parts code, graphics and sheer inventiveness. You can follow some industry blogs at my rss reader to put your finger on the pulse of some of the folk I find fascinating: http://www.thegoldenmean.com/headlines/ Good Luck!!! Loading...
