Wow, I have no friggin idea where to start on this thing

[sidjtd]

Hi, Im new to flashkit and new to this board (I finially decided to graduate from newbies)

Im a ok-animator, still a begginer, but I finally was able to purchase swift after a long time of debate and I'd like to start to learn it!!

I know this site has MOUNTAINS of information on it.....but that's the problem. I have no idea where to start with this program. It seems not as difficult as Maya (Im newbie at MAya too) but its stil confusing nevertheless

can anyone point me in the right direction?

truly begin with the manual. get to know the terminology, and the layout of the tools first.

then, feel free to ask any questions here. you'll find plenty of people willing and able to answer.

now, tutorials. http://erain.com as well as http://swiftdev.com have a lot of tutorials, as well as here - search this forum for like questions.

I hope that helps, and feel free to ask any questions here.
