Summary: Every heard of....????
Review: Ever heard of image numbers (image 1a) or bulleted or numbered lists for step-by-step instructions (that seem to skip a few steps). I read a lot of books and this one is driving me insane because I want to learn what's in here. Great ideas. I've taken one tech writing class and feel this author should do the same.

Summary: I don't get it...
Review: Maybe it's just me but there are quite a few broken links that is featured in this book. That's kind of understandable because companies do change sometimes but when the reference web site that is associated with the book is also non-functional you have a problem.

Summary: The Web site is up and running
Review: Of course it's 5 stars, I wrote the book :-)It took a while longer then normal for the publisher to get the book site up and running, but it's now there and all of the FLAs are available for download.

Summary: Hard to follow- but good ideas
Review: Once i understand the mistakes here I like what I learn. But it is getting a little bit aggravating. The ideas are good and very applicable to me so I will continue using the whole book to make sure and learn it. But the instructions can lack many details and sometimes seems to skip some steps that matter. I have wondered if the author stopped in the middle somewhere and started again without realizing exactly where we were. I am using this with MX 2004 which can cause a conflict if you do not know how to go about using expert mode for the actions (which is all that is available with the newest version). That is easy to fix if you can write the simplist of actionscript from what I have seen so far. this came out just under a year ago and the descriptions and pictures I see are from the version before that one. So this has great ideas but you are going to have to figure some things out for yourself while reading.

Summary: It's beautiful but sparse
Review: This book is good if you haven't done much in flash. It has a beautiful layout and great (looking) examples, but doesn't do much in the way of in depth flash. Very little action script is applied to animations outside of the game example at the end. The best thing I got out of this book was a reference to www.miniml.com :)
