I've been developing for about a year now in Flex and about 3 years in AS2 an flash. I hardly know where to apply - or find firms that do develop in Flex and AS3. I feel Flex is new, and just now people are realizing its potential and looking for developers.

Long-time listener, first time call... er commenter? [sure] I have the inside scoop on Joe Johnston. I worked with him at Knoware when we were in the 'fishbowl' - ask him about it sometime. I have 4th and 8th hand knowledge that Joe received a $1 million dollar signing bonus, a 4,500 square foot condo in Miami (next to J-Lo!), and an Escalade with 22" spinners. Personally, I think he got hosed! Good luck to all on their new gigs and keep up the great work Chuck! - e Hi Chuck! Long-time listener, first time call… er commenter? [sure]
