I Wouldn't Recommend This Book May 03, 2008
By Charles Sherman I've used the previous two versions of this book to teach from, as well as this one, and the amount of space devoted in this book to practical applications of Flash is very small. 2 versions back most of the exercises focused on creating a flashed based site and the last two versions get into that less and less - as a matter of fact there is hardly any content in this latest edition that would help a novice build a flash site. Several files were missing or incomplete. Some screenshots were not updated from previous editions where the exercise had changed and the screenshots themselves were very small - no one had a good time trying to read the code in them. Half the books fell apart as well. I'll be looking for another book for next time.

Great for first time flash users Dec 03, 2007
By HK This one of the better flash books I have ever seen. I was a little afraid to buy this book after reading some reviews about its binding and how the pages are falling out, but they sure have fixed that problem since I received my copy. It really gives a great incite and alot of great sort cuts and tricks to really up your level as a flash user. I bought this book because my flash class at school was a stinker and I needed something to help really grasp the program and this book does it. If you want to learn flash I recommend this book!!!!

MOST EXCELLENT Feb 10, 2008

Most Excellent flash textbook I have used. This is not the first Flash class or Flash textbook I have used, but this is the best one. Very good instructions, very clear. Illustrations are great also. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Good but not great Mar 10, 2009
By Mark in D.C. This book is divided into numerous chapters that can be treated as stand-alone references for a given topic. The author provides helpful implementation guidance, decent graphics, and examples. Where I found the book lacking was its lack of flow . . . there really is no narrative that connects the chapters and the deeper instruction that I wanted can only be obtained by bying one of Lynda.com's instructional DVDs. Any surprise that the book is published by Lynda.com? :-) I recommend you start with "Flash CS3: the Missing Manual" or any of the Flash books published by the ED series. Also, "How to Cheat with Flash CS3" is very helpful.

Decent book for someone new to Flash Feb 18, 2008
By Russell Flamm This book is a little on the easy side, I would have enjoyed some more challenging examples and tutorials.
