is flash hard?

[Beefy]

It seems to me Flash is basically a form of nonlinear video/audio/SFX editing, which I already know how to do with conventional broadcast equipment (AVID editing, digital tape, etc), which may help me in the long run.

It might help you with Flash in the long run?

The comic geek jokes write themselves.

I actually got that.  I had Rainbow Brite underoos when I was a kid.

This surprises me none.

Threadbump.

Well, I installed Dreamweaver and Flash today on my work compy.  Dreamweaver seems interesting, but more complex than I expected.  Flash, on the other hand... I picked up the really basic stuff in about 15 minutes, and had a poorly-animated six-layer presentation.

Now, about an hour later, I've got it animated pretty much right.

I'm sure the complicated stuff will take a lot more time, but it impressed the hell out of my boss that I figured this much out this fast.

That's great!

Ooh dream weaver

I like Dreamweaver.  Haven't used it in forever, though.
