Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great shot from Macromedia Press!!!
[**this review was made by Roberto Cunha from AIR User Group**]It's not correct to say that it'is a book for beginners. There are, on the first pages, the traditionals lessons about the menus, the stage, how to work with panels. Basic concepts are boarded with the right details levels for the inexperienced.
However, with more than eight hundred pages, this book reaches the most advanced levels, as manipulate applications with audio and video, 3D animation, object-oriented programming and communication ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I wish I could give it 5 stars
This book is a must-have Flash book. The only thing that was missing, at least for me, is a chapter where the trio of the best Flash developers out there could have included a real application and deconstructed it in front of our eyes. Let's face it, advanced Flashers,though might stumble over some code, can find a way out without much hassle. Those who are somehow new to Flash (beginners and intermediates) need a hands-on practice. I need a real rich application get dismanteled before my eyes. I don't want ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Flash goodness is directly proportional to it's heaviness!
All readers will appreciate this clearly written, very detailed book on the latest version of flash. Great for those wanting to learn more about Flash's programming and backend capabilities. Especially handy were the sections on external data, skinning components and 3D.

Definitely a resource worth having!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Well rounded guide to MX 2004
If you are new to Flash or you are an intermediate Flash user then this is a great book for you. Rarely do you see a book that manages to touch upon all the aspects of Flash MX 2004 as this book does. The chapters on using the authoring the environment are clear and concise. The chapters on Actionscript give you a good start with practical examples. The specialized chapters on Accessibility, 3D, Math, PocketPC development, etc. don't focus on squeezing in one sample app that may or may not be relevant to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Demystified... What a great CONCEPT
Being a student in Spain, I found this book a great guide for anyone starting out with Flash. It was easy for me follow and understand (unlike some other flash books out there). Great tutorials, helpful tips and a quick point form reviews of each chapter. A book that answered all my question. Plus a web companion which was a big bonus!
....
Over all, an awsome book written in an English lanuage that anyone can understand. Looking forward to a future second edition.
