sen, where were you able to take those courses? I have been looking at colleges and can’t find any (besides fullsail) that has courses that involve extensive work with macromedia products.

There werent any Flash courses (aside from the ones I taught and one other). Only Director courses and there were only 2 of them - actually 3… again, aside from the ones I taught 😃 This was at UMBC (Univ. of Maryland Baltimore County). The Art department is pretty screwed up so I wouldnt recomend it to anyone - CS and Engineering is pretty good there though (and I think we had like one of the top chess teams in the country for a while there too ;)). Because of the lack of teachers to teach the courses, I was able to aide for one and teach a few on my own since the demand was there and the courses, not. Of course, I’m not there anymore and I dont know if anyone else is doing anything else in Flash - or more in director for that matter…
