 Book tutorials are soooo yesterday...Dec 28, 2009
First of all this book is written for Flash 8 - not CS3 or CS4. So this book is antiquated. Second of all I just ordered a 4 hour training disc that makes it sooo much faster and easier to learn and understand Flash. It's like sitting in a classroom and learning from a teacher, only better and at your own pace. I am officially done reading books. From now on it's video tutorials on disc. They're more expensive but WELL worth it, and you can just resell them on Amazon.

A usefull reference - but far from complete and not always accurateMay 31, 2009
A good reference for beginners in flash.
Plenty of useful information. Most of it is pretty easy to digest. Some info though, I found to be inaccurate or misleading, so I would certainly not recommend that this be your only reference!!!
Also, the author seemed to have a hard time writing more then two sentences without some sort of attempt to be clever or funny. I find this pretty annoying.
I recommend learning Flash from a variety of sources. This could be one of those sources, but again, I don't recommend that you trust it too much.

 Quick AnswersMar 20, 2007
This is the book I reach for when I'm looking for quick concise descriptions. I almost use it as an extended glossary. The index is great. There are subjects I find in the index that I cannot find in the indexes of more comprehensive instructional books, nor the online Flash help. I can almost always find what I'm looking for. I thought I would outgrow this book as my skills increased but I find I still use it all the time.
