"> Take heart Zac, if director dies, I'll send you an actionscript book. I

I'll be making coffee at Starbucks before I do flash work. Until; someone actually makes flash into a proper development tool its more painful to use

There used to be a thriving colony of graphic artists who did font design, and many of them used fontographer.
I believe the colony was on Molokai."
