Sarah Soward develops curriculum for and teaches the Adobe Creative Suite and design theory at the Bay Area Video Coalition (http://www.bavc.org). She has over five years experience as a technology trainer and is Adobe Certified. She specializes in creating web and print collateral for small businesses and non-profits. She is the Art Director for The Pagan Alliance, a non-profit organization, and a working fine artist (oil painting and drawing). In addition to teaching Flash, she is also an expert in the use of Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. You can reach her at< sarahsoward.com> and< rhinotopia.com>

My Flash experience and teaching experience have come from a variety of sources. I certainly could not have done any of this without Adobe and their wonderful resources for ActionScript and Flash CS4. On that note, thanks also to Abigail Rudner. She demystified ActionScript 2.0 for me when I was first learning Flash and made my SWF’s functional as well as fun.

Rose Adare gets a huge thank you for putting me on this path with the Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) and technology training in general. She taught me how to teach. That skill is one of the most valuable pieces of my life.

Thank you to BAVC for believing in me and keeping me and my quirky handouts around all these years.

Of course, my profs @ The California College of the Arts get props.

My Mom. I know it isn’t a complete sentence. It says all it needs to say: My Mom. It’s like stop(); can be this.stop(); but may not need all the extra characters to be just perfect even if it is more thorough.

Happy expressions of gratitude go out to Chris O’Sullivan, Michele Jones, their living room floor, and gluten-free donuts. Kristie Bulleit Niemeier and her dissertation progress postings get a nod as well.

Thanks to every client who ever insisted that I make something cool for them.

Finally, thanks to the man who shared this project with me: Peter Spannagle. He makes a mean cup of tea.
