My opinion (and let me stress, it's MY opinion, not official MACR policy) that there is some things that the art freak could do in CFML. For example - simple CFCs. This is because CFML is so dang easy. The art freak doesn't need to be a code guru to do some very nice things in CFML that will help extend their Flash apps. I think the reverse applies. I don't think I'll ever be a Flash guru - but there are things that I can learn that will be very useful to my web application development. Certainly I'd hire the art freak to take my flash form and make it prettier - if I needed it. Ditto on the reverse side. If the art freak had issues doing complex SQL, they would let the DBA or CFML coder take over. I guess I'm saying I think the course will make me more useful as a developer. In ways, it's almost like having a _very_ extendible form of HTML at my finger tips. Once I got past the ... I don't know, not wierd, but just different feel of the Flash editor, it all came down to simple rules and action script - and any CFML person can learn AS. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
