Foreign to me, Anybody want to help me out, what product do they currently sell that is closest to Macromedia flash pro 8? Or the best advancement on that software?

Will I think I can help you in this topic. I am in any mater myself and I have mainly focused on 3-D animation but yes I do a lot of the Flash animations mostly of websites and eat learning projects. Definitely Flash is one of the best and most commonly used software and so I would recommend you to learn that properly. This software can be divided into two main categories and that is the designing and the animation apart and the other one is the scripting part. If you want to become a good any mater in Flash you should focus on both the part because they are very much dependent on each other when you are working on advanced kinds of animations. Her home you can refer to books which are available on the net and on the bookstores and also I will suggest you if possible you should go for a total training or other of the duo tutorials where they show you very nicely out to use that particular software both from the designing and decoding point of view.

*slightly confused* I never knew there was a scripting part, Care to expound on what that essentially is? Sorry if I'm asking too much there :P Other than that, you said I can refer to books from the net and bookstores, any in particular you would recommend?
