As an elearning designer you learn quickly that you must always be learning new software, programming and elearning techniques. And this is all going on while still working on current projects. Since Authorware is out and FLASH is in the learning process had to be quick and to the point. This type of learning requires excellent learning tools. Here are some I've found that have taken me right up to the advanced FLASH coding level within two weeks.
First, what would we ever do without the wonderful people at VTC? Within a day I received my CD's on FLASH training. Since I previously worked with FLASH I only needed the advanced FLASH training and sure enough they had them. This visual method of learning is excellent and worth checking out if you are looking for any type of quick method to learn a new piece of software.
Then, I can't forget my first resource book FLASH 5 Creative Web Animation by Derek Franklin and Brooks Patton which I dug out, read and viewed several of their quicktime instructional movies. This book is the only one that I have found that clearly explains the ActionScript process in an easy to understand method.
Now that these two resources have taught me all to know about FLASH I"m filling my hours with creating interactive elearning games and content.
Good luck!
