best way to learn flash?

I would like to know what people would do if they wanted to learn Adobe Flash CS3 as quickly and easily as possible so I can do just that.

 

Look up Flash Tutorials. Look up in Newgrounds, AwestyProductions, FlashKit. There's a lot roaming around the internet.

 

go to youtube.com then search for flash tutorial its better to learn through video tutorial than reading the whole chapter on books or ebooks

 

if you want good paid up tutorial from scratch to pro you can subscribe to lynda.com for a month and download all the flash videos (you will have access to all the other tutorials to for that month)

 

yeah lynda is one of the best example for video tutorial, but youtube is free so its up to you

 

I like YouTube as well but you certainly can't beat Lynda.com. I've learned tons from their site.

 

The Adobe website has the flash developer center which has a lot of tutorials, videos, samples which are all free. Link should be below.

Use of Flash makes your website more interactive- Web designers use flash to make your website more interactive. With the use of flash, web designers get the opportunity to use their creativity while designing the websites. The web designers use different flash interactive features which range from feedback forms to exciting games and movies. Visitors always feel like visiting the websites that use the flash technology.

 

There are many online tutorials which is free to learn. To learn fast is depend on you how technical you are. If you are faster understanding then you are also faster learning.

Just remember the more you practice the fastest you are.

 

flash will be dead in less then 2 years so why waste time learning? I learned and now I wish I spent that time learning Java and xhtml and Html5

good luck!!

FYI I learned by joining WatchandLearn.com

 

Veggie: I have to STRONGLY disagree. Not to start an unrelated debate, but have you seen some of the stuff that Flash CS5 can do? Have you seen how easy it is to create layered content in Photoshop and convert it to Flash animation with no programming whatsoever? Flash is thriving and will continue to do so. Like I said, I don't mean to sound defensive, but Flash is going to continue to be the wave of the future.

As far as learning Flash, I'm a "hands-on" kind of guy. What I would recommend is going to a site that provides free Flash website templates, and then cracking them open to see how they work. That, combined with some tutorials on Tutorialized, and you'll be on your way in no time.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone I'm headed in the right direction now

 

Install it and start experimenting. Additionally look up for tutorials.

 

youtube is good way for search about how to run all type software .

 

Subscribe for a monthly plan on lynda.com and it won't cost you too much.You can easily learn on lynda.com and they got all updated tutorials on flash.

 

Lynda.com for sure. I've picked up more on that site than in several in-person classes I've taken.

 

I would learn the coding first. Then go buy a flash bible and read that

I read alot, alot of books.
When I learned flash it was more of a cartoon maker rather than an IDE.
To learn flash now would be much more challenging. Many people followed the complexity as it developed in the software itself, and were pretty much learning as new things came about.

I remember opening flash one day and realized how difficult the projects in it have gotten. Its not what it was. Papervision, Flint, Tweener....
