It seems like Flash is one of the hardest languages to get a question answered on. If I go to a PHP board, it seems like every question gets solved, but here, it’s like 25%. Granted, Flash has more too it than PHP - and it has changed a lot more, and AS3 basically means relearning the language, and a few parts of the language seem incomplete / buggy / poorly designed…
It just seems like Flash is really hard to master - which isn’t to say I can’t make awesome stuff in it, just that there is a lot of trial and error and workarounds. Then their is the fact that, on a normal large-scale project, my time is like:
%5 HTML/CSS markup
%10 Javascript / Ajax
%5 SQL
%20 Flash
%60 PHP
Even if I was making a full Flash site, I still can’t see being able to spend more than half of my time doing Flash, since the site still has to load and process data to be useful.
I’m just curious, how well do you think you know Flash? I’d say I’m intermediate - my stuff generally works good, but it takes me a LOT longer than it would if I didn’t have to rewrite chunks. I spent my whole day writing a print function - 153 lines of code =/
