So I've been pushing on with flash development, it took a lot of research and such to figure out how to actually do it.
<tech-filled paragraph>
As a Linux user I bemoan paying for a product I would have to use Windows, VMs or wine to use, so I have to look for alternatives to Adobe's flash IDE. After research I learned Adobe started to use a .mxml and .as combo to make flash files in their newer flex sdk. *Joy!* I can develop for flash using Eclipse IDE and a plugin called FDT (or even vim, maybe I will switch to vim yet. Hardcore style!) Progress has been quite slow, but I've gathered a good idea of what is possible and my plans for flash are starting to look realistically possible. If anyone should happen to have experience in this area, especially links to beginners resources on flash coding this way, I'd be grateful for any help. ^..^ (Reading Adobes documentation isn't exactly an easy beginners guide.)

My plans for the flashy future are as follows. I plan to make a choose your path type story flash. It will probably have some static images which change and are appropriate to the story being told. My ultimate goal is to have video interactive flash stories. I'm setting the goal at a point where it should be achievable however and starting with image and text based story-telling.
I've also been working on a rat-perspective-view of my 'pest control' animation. The texturing is not up to standard, and before I can improve it I had to finish rigging the model. Until now only half of him actually existed, the other was a mirror, hehe. I've done that now and have moved on to the actual texturing. Naturally learning as you go makes everything ten times slower.
