The second tutorial was far more informative than the first. There were some really basic concepts about creating graphics and the toolbars that I needed to understand before I could start using Flash in earnest. What was the most surprising to me is that ten years ago I was using Freehand when I was a typesetter for my husband and my printing company. Much of the way graphics are created and manipulated and the toolbars to accomplish tasks is the same. I can't believe how much I forgot after not having done this type of work in so long. I felt like a complete novice in that department.
After my graphics refresher, I was able to explore and understand a few more principles of using Flash. I still have a lot to learn so I am glad we have class coming up that will give us the opportunity to explore Flash some more. I think it's a great tool and can't wait to see how I can use it in my classroom.
