91. With Flash. Are you having fun? or struggling?

Flash!
Do you like it?

The subject has been provided by Uramoto san, MTEC's James Bond (according to him).
There are two Flash specialists in MTEC, namely, Uramoto san and Kiyuna san.
How long will it take for me to be like them???

Oh, anyway, the participants have been enjoying (or struggling?) with Flash to make animation. But their goal is NOT to create animation, but to product a learning material..... still long way to go!
