Adobe Flash

I have worked in flash which has now been changed to adobe animate for 20 years. I can explain the similarities and show you how to do the same things you did in flash but now in adobe animate which uses action script 3.0. I used animate in my animation series daily and have quite a few students that use to use flash but now using animate. Animate is a better program and has very easy tools to help you create for your website, presentation, and animation series. I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz in digital media and Gavilan college in digital arts. I worked and taught animation in private schools in northern California.
