I used to think the quote "life only demands from you the strengths you possess" was true but since starting New Media Art and delving deep into the world of Flash I know it isn't. Life is hard enough without Flash. So having Flash in my life is unnecessary and very painful.
Actionscript in flash sucks, navigation in flash sucks, movie clips in flash suck and so does buttons in flash.
But that doesn't mean I can't use it or won't use it, it just means I hate it with a passion and only use it when it is mandatory.
I believe that Flash gives artists so many more options to display their artwork. I would use it to display my portfolio of photographs and create my own website. I think people are put off by its complexity but also because it is a foreign software.
I love all the possibilities it offers but cringe at the fact it is hard to get your head round and it is the sort of technology you can never completely master- and that leaves me feeling unfulfilled.
