Instructor's Note: As I've taught Flash over the years, I've had students excited about working with Flash and looking forward to the next class. However, not everyone is looking to become a programmer or use Flash to deliver video. We created this class for those students. If you're looking for additional Flash training but want more timeline work and animation exposure, this is the class. I promise to keep the programming to a minimum.

what students say:
- Digital Training & Designs is modern, clean, it has very easy access, and the staff is so friendly and helpful (sounds like a cliche but it's true). The computers and software worked without breaking down, the Net speed was faster than I anticipated and the very best thing within the classroom was the additional monitor on my desktop to view what you were showing me (vs. the old projector-style 'look up here' form). This was the first time I had the privledge to experience that as a student and now it will be hard to accept any other type of training!
