Flash: Here We Go Again

So I go on the Lynda training for Flash.  I am very happy to see that I am almost done.  I think that once I am done I will be able to create that marvelous flash video that I promised in the last PE blog.  As I view chapter after chapter of the Flash Essential tutorial, I realized that promise may have been spoken to early.

I am a visual learner.  I thought that if I just listen to each video and dibbled with the program once in while after I look at a few chapters, I would be able to accomplish what was shone in the video, but I was wrong ...again.  It seems that my visual learning is stunted when it comes to media ...or again maybe its just Flash.  I mean, really?  Is this program even made for the average computer user as myself?  I think not.  I keep trying not to get frustrated and mad, but I can't make head or tails out of the many functions involved in creating the simplest thing in Flash.

So, before I pull another hair or bang my head against the wall, I am going to see what happens in the end.  And if anything, I can at least get a certificate of completing the over 7-hour training.  The sad part is that I may not have anything to show for it.
