Fixing the Chaos

August 29th, 2004 · No Comments

Now that I’m at a company that’s paying me to use the A.S. and basic Flash that I have learned I have more time and peace of mind to go back and really hammer in my fundamentals. The best book I’ve found for this so far is Derek Franklin and Jobe Makar’s training from the [...]

Weird day at work

August 24th, 2004 · No Comments

Today at work was weird because I was coding all day working on a series of not too complicated graphic tasks. The weird part was the fact that a lot of the A.S. that I had been studying and using in stupid little tutorials etc was coming back to me as actually useful. [...]

Right now I’m plowing through “Foundation Actionscript for Flash MX2004″ by Sham Bhangal. It may be the best AS book for me thus far. I’ve read a lot of complaints about how [...]

EAS 2.0

August 6th, 2004 · No Comments
