6 years ago when I was in the first year of my multimedia college, a lot of my teachers were ranting about Flash and were not convinced by it’s possibilities. They were just ignorant. Look just how far Flash has come! Flash is ubiquitous.

Learning Flash (and other aspects of design) was one of my best decisions! It has created 99% of my portfolio. :)

So just do it! But also learn ActionScript if you want to get the most out of it.
