Flash is hard.  PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign feel like a breeze compared to all the stuff you have to remember when learning\/using Flash.   What is Flash?  It is a web-based tool to create animations (mainly, although it can produce static text, buttons, forms, etc as well).  Here are some examples of Flash used online:<\/p>\n<p>1)  The right hand side of this page is all Flash and took our in-house developer at work weeks and weeks to produce:  <a href=\"http:\/\/globeauto.com\">http:\/\/globeauto.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2)  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weebl.jolt.co.uk\/upgrade%202.htm\">Weebl and Bob<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3)  <a href=\"http:\/\/tvokids.com\">TVO Kids<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So its intereresting to have to try and learn something extremely complicated within a short time frame and keep up with a manic instructor and not hiccup and lose track of what&#8217;s being taught or I&#8217;m swamped in 2 seconds flat.  So, yeah.  Its a challenge.  Want to see some Flash, behind the scenes?
