Education

Hello, since i started using the web i have always been deeply fascinated with flash. My dream is to be a devigner and craft RIAs like what 2dvanced, Red Interactive, Bigspaceship, Fantasy Interactive etc does… I am at a point now where im looking to pursue a degree. Is ther a school or course in the US that can help me achieve this dream? Shd i take up a graphic design course and then pick up programing on my own later? Or is there a school in the US that is able to bridge that gap? Please advice, i would really like to know if there are any degree courses that can take me there. And if you guessed it, im not from US, but the best of interactive media that i have seen is all from here
