Sean McSharry has been a Flash Developer and Designer since 1999 (Flash 3).He has consulted in many business sectors from Oil exploration to Banking to IPTV, for major industry leaders such as Microsoft and Adobe Consulting.
He is an Adobe Certified Flash Developer and Designer and has worked on everything from banners to massive RIAs.

After studying theatre in London, then working for several years as an actor in the US, Todd Yard was introduced to Flash in 2000 and was quickly taken by how it allowed for both stunning creativity and programmatic logic application--a truly left-brain, right brain approach to production--and has not looked back. He now freelances as a Flash developer in New York City, creating both silly animations and utilitarian applications.
