Ask iBrent
One of the things I enjoy most is helping people solve their Flash/Flex bugs. Whether helping coworkers, or answering forum posts at GTAL, I enjoy the challenge of solving problems. I'm in the process of ramping up my tutorial production and as part of the increase in tutorials, I'm adding a forum to the site.
Ask iBrent is a place where you can ask about any of the tutorials I've written as well as any other Flash Platform and related technologies questions. No, I don't have all the answers, but I'm hoping others will lend a hand to help answer your questions. =D
Coming Soon
