I wanna learn Flash

I usually find my tutorials by googling.

http://lynda.com/ has a pretty good book, or did back when I was learning Flash.

Also www.flashkit.com for teh free stuff.

This is my brother's company... I could put you in touch with him if you had questions. he was self-taught as well.

I'm willing to pay for a comprehensive package. No offense to those who offered free online tuts. That's how I was inspired to pursue graphic design in the first place (Thanks Mae).

But what I want is an alternative to taking a course in Flash. Something that would cover the program step-by-step, preferably through visual/video aids.

Did the lynda.com site not have what you were looking for?

Edit: You're still going to want to know about flashkit imo, it's a good resource in spite of the ugliness of the site.

First you buy a trenchcoat, then you.... oh, wrong kind of flash! My bad.

yeah i was going to say the same thing when i first saw the thread =P

Sorry for the delay. Apparently, I've been driving illegally for the past few years with a Maryland license in Quebec. Got that sorted out - thank god - now I have to deal with a lost passport!

In any case, thanks a lot Veri for the sources. Tell you the truth, 350$ is a little steep for me, but I'd like to know if you tried the Flash Mega Bundle. If yes, has it made a significant difference? I would be willing to start saving up, but I want to make sure it's worth every penny.

In the meanwhile, I'll scope Flashkit out. Merci encore.
