FLASH: Re: flasher-digest V1 #751

[Angelique Gulermovich Epstein]

Hi everyone,


Here's a guilty admission.  My Illustrator skills stink; until Flash came

around there wasn't really any call for Illustrator for me.  So, here's my

question:  What's the best way to get a good grounding in Illustrator,

fast?  The CIB?  Or are there other great resources I should know about?


Thanks!


Yours very truly,

Angel
