I happened upon this review section after I bought the book as I'm now looking for a book on ActionScript. Had I read the reviews first, I may not have bought the book . I have to say, in my opinion (and I have many years experience in multimedia and web design), this book was very comprehensive, easy to read, fun, the download files were great. I was able to work through it quickly and now I am up and running. Easy style writing, upbeat, and yes, there was a typo here and there, but not enough to warrant complaints. Plus it was a good price for wht you get. I recommend this book whole heartedly.
