Hehe i am posting again :) Anyways though a client of mine was wondering if I had any flash skills. I had to say no because i am a PHP man :D Well this is not the first time this has happened so I was wondering, how difficult is it to change from something like PHP to FLASH. I have some minor skills in c++ if OOP is a big deal to flash. And i know that KIRUPA is a great place to find tutorials for flash. I was just wanting to know some "hands-on" knowledge.

Many Thanks,
-Rich :P

Well, I moved from flash to PHP (not that I am a PHP master or anything) so i guess i am kind of the opposite of you.

The big thing about flash is understanding how the program itself works. By this I mean knowing how the timeline functions, and how the different levels work.

I don't think that code is a big deal when you are starting out in flash. I know somebody is going to argue that, but it's true. Understand the basics first, then start coding.

I moved from PHP to Flash and round it relatively easy, the syntax is similar in terms of loops (for, if, while), I had already tried flash a few years ago, so I had a rough idea of how the timeline worked, but the book that I found best is "Flash MX 2004 at your fingertips". I also converted from ASP to PHP, that was more difficult.
