I don’t claim to be good, but other people claim me to be good. I have been using Flash for 9 months now. I have been scripting AS for 8 months.

It takes a long long time to learn and get used to Flash.

It takes about 928347092387489272897489 yrs to be okay in Flash so we all have a long way to go. :beam:

I’ve only been working with flash about 8 months and I’m still learning. =)

I’m still learning…

but then I’ve only started 5+ years ago… Everytime I think I have a grip on a new version, a newer version comes out (along with a whole bunch of new 15yr olds who are amazing at it instantly)…

Sorry, I have to go grease my wheel chair now…

I’ve been working with it full-time for about the same as lost and  
eg - 8-9 months. I’m ok with it, but there’s just too much to learn  
and not enough time.
