    [off-topic] Was just wondering...

    ...Are there any female Flash Devs? I've been on these forums for 2 years and have come to the conclusion that it's an exclusively male community. On SFDT, a large animation community I moderate, there haven't been any girls, either. It seems that girls in general seem to steer clear of Flash. Could someone prove me wrong?

    Please?

    i know several girls who work with flash,all are designers though.
    I only heard of two female (pro) flash coders,there are probably way more though.
    I also wouldn´t wonder if there are more females around but some are disguised to not get "romantic" offers by lots of 13 year olds.

    but she was my supervisor.

    Mm, still, I haven't seen any on Flash Kit (or at least not this section of the Flash Kit forums).

    yeah...the ones I know/knew were only graphic designers that used flash in a marginal/simple way....no coding beyond gotoAndPlay and stop() .....w/ a few bottons.

    I think it's just naturally more of a male thing, in general, the more techy stuff....there are exeptions offcourse, but I think in general that is the case most all over the world in most tech related fields, like programming.

    The only one I know of is Bit**eswhocodes.com.
    She's in the Flash Tenth Anniversary thingy. link

    Edit: Flashkit wouldn't let me write that particular word, obviously.

    There were quite a few very talented female flash developers in my Interaction Design classes and the combined ComDes/IT degree when I was at uni. Also, the flash development course I ran last year had mostly female students.

    Perhaps because the tech communities are generally male dominated most females don't feel that comfortable joining or participating?
