hi,
I know a lot about web development (ie, lamp / html & css & js) - but no flash. decided it was about time, as ive had to pay other developers to get even basic flash stuff done (like banner animations more suitable for flash than gifs)
i never learnt it in the past as I assumed that one day there would be a html standard (a bit like the canvas thing), but i think flash really is here to stay...
any advice as to where to start? I'd prefer a book, but only really to cover the basics. At the moment I know nothing. When learning php classes, i got a book to read the basics, and learnt the rest just by trying stuff out, i never read more than a third of it.
also, what software is the best to develop it in? flash mx? (I am a complete flash noob, so appoligies if this is the *only* program to develop it in...)
