You know your a Flash Developer when…

… you can’t remember the last time you tweened anything.

Your told you can’t use components on a project, and you suddenly have no idea how to do the project.

Designers call you a programmer and programmers call you scripter.

You spend more time working on a Flash project in another program other than Flash (using an external code editor).

Clients have no idea that Flash can do what you can make it do.

Your implementing interfaces in Flash, not creating them.

You’ve answered the loadMovie-can’t-move-a-jpeg question more times than is humanly possible.

You can’t make a web app all in Flash because then your department doesn’t get dual developement, so your forced to use JavaScript calls to help keep state, therefore bringing up the question why did you use Flash in the first place when the initial reason was to prevent the multitude of technologies and keeping application state?

    D’oh! I’m not a Flash developer after all.

    Time to look for a new profession. ;)

    Cheers,

    LOL…I just say “I’m the guy with the gun”.

    You speak true words.

    … the difference between programmers and scripters is like the difference between “Merlin the wizard” and “David Copperfield”
