[Mike_Wiseman]

thnx for helping me out... but that site doesnt got what im looking for

 

[FreeGuy]

my best suggestion is to buy books i own like 5 of them and they have really helped me. I bought them after looking for a nice tut site and couldnt find one.

 

[Mike_Wiseman]

Just go to your local library.... most libraries have shelves of computer books

I have a bunch of flash books and a lot of other types of books, although i have to say i have not read many of them i do have them... i get through about 20 pages then get bored of it but it would come in use maybe ill pick it up and try to learn it again haha.

Any recomendations about books?
I know the basics of flash, so flash for dummies wouldn't be a good one I guess.
What would be a good book?

Try Hiring someone

Hi,

It may sound wierd but..

You can go to sites like www.scriptlance.com and find some people there that you can hire to teach you online for maybe $10 an hour.

I haven't done it but I have used SL a lot to find people to do the hard work for me. I am very interested in learning flash myself but have no time yet.

A lot of the people on these sites are from other countries(than the USA) and will do a lot more for less money and will give you unbelievable customer service. I mean like 18 hours a day the same person will answer your questions.

I know this may not be exactly what you were looking for but I hope it helps someone,
