I am signed up and excited to take the on-line Flash training.
Question:
I LOVE the font you used in the FLASH BASICS banner ad above. Is it an actual font or an illustration?

Super webinar. I tried an archaic version in CorelDraw years ago. The instructions were so inadequate I gave up.
I’ve been doing gif animations for a family business and trying to get them to move to Flash, but didn’t have a clue how to do it. Since the ads are very simple, the intro to Flash was perfect. Now, I just have to get them to pay for the upgrade from CS2 to CS4!
