Hi there all,

I been working with flash since flash 5 as a hobby and im quite confident with my abilities.

I would like to apply for work as a developer but i am unsure where i should start. I do not know what employers want to see.

Clearly im no designer, so although i could put up some complex actionscript, it would look terrible and i also dont have much confidence with HOW MUCH i know of the language… can i fit in with a commercial nature and do all jobs expect me to know SQL, .NET, PHP…

Flash is a hobby but its burning my free time and i dont see why i cant get paid…even a little for doing what i like most but i just dont seem to get anywhere.  
What do you put in a portfolio?

Thanks 😃
