Recently at work I have had a large amount of small amendment and update jobs which can be a little tedious.
However, I have now been given a flash-based project which looks pretty cool and from what I have understood it is going to push me out of my “comfort zone”.
For the project I will have to build a flash video player to stream .flv files from a server and also an clickable movieclip to link the view to another site/page.
All the elements in the flash project will be customizable including the .flv file (so different clips can be played) as will the positioning of the .flv and the positioning, colour and style of the moviclip button.
I really like the idea of creating re-usable work as eventually you end up with a library you can use to make your more productive in the future.
I will however have to brush up on Flash CS4 (which has changed alot since CS3) and also my AS3.
For anyone learning Adobe Flash, Lynda.com is a great tutorial site covering every aspect of coding, development, 2d and 3d design and lots more. Also the people over at FlashKit are great for help with AS3 and offer a whole bunch of tutorials, resources and help via their forum board.
